Ditch Master 800
|
| The Model 800 Ditch Master unit is chassis mounted behind the cab of a single axle truck chassis.
Power for the hydraulic circuits is supplied by the diesel auxiliary motor mounted on top of the truck frame rails. Controls and gauges for the motor are located in the truck cab.
All hydraulic circuits and auxiliary power unit controls are for a one-man operation from inside of the cab. Hydraulic controls consist of electric over hydraulic and air over hydraulic controllers. Electric over hydraulic are used for motor RPM control.
Ditching Unit: Unit is to have a chain driven horizontal rotating auger cutting bit mounted on an extendible arm. Auger to be 27” in diameter with a replaceable cutting ring. Auger to be able to operate in reverse. Unit to have a three stage conveying system for debris, first stage is the arm assembly, second is the bucket elevator and third is the belt conveyor which is extendable. Cutting and conveying system are to be hydraulically powered: horizontal and vertical positioning of the auger and vertical, side to side (swing) and extending of the belt conveyor are all controlled from the operator’s position.
