I have a 32” Torque, I mostly use it to open up grass waterways and ditches. I have thought that it would make a ditch that was too deep and problematic for crossing with a combine.
I’d rather deal with a furrow at harvest than not have them during the year and lose crop to water.
Personally I prefer the bigger cutting head and a wider and shallower furrow. Hurricane makes different models and one is a 12” or 16” similar to the Amco PD10 ditcher. Want a deep ditch, let it down some. Want a shallow ditch, raise it up. I’m just wanting to drain water on leveled fields and don’t need a full fledged waterway. I understand that may be different than what you’re wanting but every single farm here in my area has at least one ditcher and most have multiples of different styles so we must be doing something right!
Rotary ditcher preference?
