Ditchers

The B.W. Implement Co. Flat V-ditcher is designed for a flat irrigation ditch.. Flat irrigation ditches have more usable water than a regular V ditch. Flat ditches are also faster at drying up making it faster and easier to get back into the field after irrigation. The B.W. Implement ditcher is also light enough to be used with a wheel tractor instead of a crawler, saving time and money. There are different options including a chisel unit to help pull the ditches faster and a wheel kit to help with depth control.

Since B.W. Implement makes an irrigation ditcher, it only made sense for us to manufacture a ditch closer. We make two different models of ditch closers, the first is or original ditcher made in reverse. We use the same mold boards and reverse them to fill I the ditch. Our most popular model is the ditch closer we make with 24” disc blades. This is the front of a tandem disc that all the blades throw the dirt towards the center of the ditch. This is a more popular design since it can also be used to make small borders. Even though ditchers and ditch closers are almost a thing of the past with current technology B.W. Implement still will manufacture a new one for you and still has parts available for older models.
