The Hurricane Original Side-Arm is a tractor-mounted rotary ditcher for cleaning and rebuilding field ditches, terraces and waterways. Its side reach allows the tractor to travel beside the ditch while the impeller cuts and throws soil.
The enclosed oil-bath gearbox has external chain tensioning, and the impeller uses heat-treated paddle edges. Hurricane's 200 HP production example describes removing up to 12 inches of soil over one mile of ditch in an hour. Soil, moisture, slope and travel conditions affect the amount of work completed.

The distance from the tractor's travel path to the ditch bottom is important when choosing a side-arm ditcher. Send us that measurement, the ditch depth and your tractor model so we can check hitch capacity, ballast, hydraulics and tire clearance for the work.
