Features

• High Efficiency：It can dig two ditches at a time, significantly increasing the work efficiency compared to single-line ditchers. This is especially beneficial for large areas of land that require ditches for irrigation, drainage, or other purposes.
• Accurate Ditching：Designed to create ditches with consistent depth and width. The compact tractor provides stable power and control, allowing the ditcher to dig precise ditches, which is crucial for proper water flow and crop growth.
• Adjustable Parameters：The depth, width, and spacing of the ditches can usually be adjusted according to specific agricultural requirements. For example, the depth can be adjusted from 20 to 40 centimeters, and the width can range from 18 to 30 centimeters, with the ditch spacing adjustable from 60 to 100 centimeters.
• Versatile Application：Suitable for various agricultural applications, such as preparing fields for planting vegetables, fruits, or grains. It can also be used for creating drainage systems to prevent waterlogging or for laying irrigation pipes.

Structure

• Frame：The main structure of the ditcher, usually made of sturdy steel, which provides support and stability. It is designed to be attached to the compact tractor, ensuring a secure connection during operation.
• Cutting Mechanism：Consists of two sets of cutting blades or discs, which are the key components for digging the ditches. The cutting blades are made of high-quality steel to ensure sharpness and durability, and they are designed to cut through the soil with minimal resistance.
• Transmission System：Connects the power output of the compact tractor to the cutting mechanism. It typically includes gears, chains, or belts that transfer the rotational power from the tractor to the cutting blades, enabling them to rotate at the required speed for effective ditching.
• Depth Control Device：Allows the operator to adjust the depth of the ditches. This can be in the form of adjustable wheels or skids that determine how deep the cutting blades penetrate the soil. Some ditchers may also have a hydraulic depth control system for more precise adjustments.
• Ditch Spacing Adjustment Mechanism：Used to change the distance between the two ditches. This mechanism usually consists of adjustable links or bars that can be moved to widen or narrow the ditch spacing according to the desired setting.

Working Principle

When the compact tractor starts moving forward, it transmits power to the 2-line ditcher through the transmission system. The cutting mechanism, consisting of the two sets of cutting blades or discs, begins to rotate. As the ditcher moves forward, the rotating cutting blades cut into the soil, excavating the dirt and creating two ditches simultaneously. The depth control device ensures that the ditches are dug to the desired depth, while the ditch spacing adjustment mechanism maintains the appropriate distance between the two ditches. The excavated soil is usually thrown to the side of the ditches, creating a neat and organized pattern.
