SPECIFICATIONS

The Model 360 and Model 370 Power Ditchers are connected to the tractor PTO shaft by means
of a shielded protrusion free slide collar.  The driveline shield is non-rotating for increased life and
complies with safety standards worldwide.  The shear bolt clutch protects the driveline against
machine blockages.  The 1-15/16” diameter  high carbon steel in-put and out-put shafts are
connected by a #100 roller chain with a continuous oil bath lubrication.  The drive system rotates
on four triple seal greaseable ball bearings.  The Model 360 has a 18 tooth in-put sprocket and a
18 tooth out-put sprocket with a cutter head speed of 540 RPM.  The Model 370 has a 14 tooth
in-put sprocket and a 22 tooth out-put sprocket with a cutter head speed of 630 RPM.  The entire
chain drive system is housed inside a 12” x 6” structural steel case, easily accessible by two (2)
removable rear plates.  The dirt shielded cutter drum has four (4) high carbon plow steel blades
with a cutting diameter adjustable from 17” to 19”.
