Abstract:

This two-wheeled machine for cutting and dressing road shoulders and drainage ditches is designed to be towed behind a powered tractor. A ditch cutting disc is directly connected to an offset portion of the machine frame. The ditch end of a scraper blade is structurally attached behind the cutting disc from the disc mounting structure. An offset draft bar permits the tow tractor to be operated closer to the road center and out of the road gutter as the outboard wheel of the ditching machine runs in the ditch channel.
