The D5P/D10P Series Power Ditchers are connected to
the tractor PTO shaft by means of a shielded double
u-joint. The 2-3/16" diameter alloy steel in-put and
out-put shafts are connected by a #80-2 double roller
chain drive. The drive system rotates on (4) tri-ply seal
ball bearings in a continuous oil bath.
The
D5P18A
has a 22 Tooth In-Put sprocket and a 16
Tooth Out-Put Sprocket. The
D10P18A
has a 16 Tooth
In-Put Sprocket and a 22 Tooth Out-Put Sprocket. This
combination gives a Cutter Head speed of 740 RPM on
both models. (D5P18 @ 540 RPM PTO and D10P18 @
1000 RPM PTO.)
The entire drive system is inside a 6" x 10" steel case,
easily accessible by two removable end plates.
The Cutter Head has (4) heat treated high carbon steel
blades with a cutting diameter adjustable from 18" to 20".
The
D5P18A Power Ditcher
is designed for use on
tractors with 50 to 110 PTO horsepower and 540 RPM
PTO. The
D10P18A Power Ditcher
is designed for use
on tractors with 80 to 150 PTO horsepower and 1000
