The "SWINGER" by Hurricane
These machines are made to work with, not to work on !
Description
The "SWINGER" is a 3-Pt. hitch mounted machine designed to be used as an offset ditcher. It can be operated behind either tractor tire or any position in between. This ditcher accommodates any tractor with 80-140 H.P., 540 or 1000 RPM PTO and one hydraulic outlet. Like all the Hurricane 3-Point models, the "SWINGER" is equipped with parking stands for easy hook-up and disconnection. It can be used with Cat II or III hitch.
An 8" stroke cylinder and a 50 degree constant velocity (CV) joint provide the ditcher's "SWINGING" action.
The "SWINGER" has a 20" 6-paddle impeller (digging wheel) with hard-surface paddles that are designed to be resurfaced as they wear. For smaller applications, this standard wheel can be replaced with a 15" 5-paddle wheel.
The rear shoe (or dragplate) gives the machine stability, helps prevent gouging and helps form the ditch in loose or wet conditions. An adjusting screw is provided.
Has longer gear box than comparable 3-point ditchers which enables it to reach greater depths when digging.
