Detroit - 4/18/2012 23:15 26" Hurricane. Only way to go in my book.
What HP tractor are you using? How fast can you go? I realize it depends on how deep but... Their website lists the HP as 80-140. Does it handle a larger HP tractor alright? Been using a 4840 Deere. Any idea on pricing? Thanks.

Got it on a 130 horse high crop tractor now. Does just right. Not big enough to tear it up and not too small that it won't do a good job. It's built stout.
I can go up to 10th gear which is around 5-6 mph. Never really thought how fast I could go. I just try to do a good job and go as fast as I can do it. Was around $6k 2 years ago.

Look at the Eagle Ditcher in Milnor ND. Just got one this spring and love it , heaviest and best design out there. Sure the others are good too but we looked at all of them for a year and are very pleased with the Eagle. Call Edwin Erickson @ 701-680-1424. www.eagleditcher.net

My neighber sells trenching wheels that go on an ATV and they work very well aspicially when the crops are already planted. (320-815-0865), but we also use the Hurricane in the fall to open up ditches. Works well.

Guys I occasionally have a 7' Liebrecht, must be pretty decent since they haven't destroyed it yet. It's laser guided and it sure moves a lot of dirt with a 300+ MFWD on it.

Land pride makes a nice 20 inch ditcher. It is heavy made and around 4500. I have mine on my 8200 and run 3 to 4 mph. Hurricane 26 inch is nice but it is more expensive. I was quoted 6800 last fall.
