V-Wing Ditcher

This is the prototype of a heavy duty V-wing ditcher, designed and built by Jeff Penner of J.R.P. Farms (Swan River, Manitoba). This video shows a bit more footage of the monster machine in the field ...

@Slammy2010 I would say that it is obvious that you are not a farmer. The fact is that farmers are only draining pot hols that are very small bodies of water not much bigger than a swiming pool. A farmers job is to feed people of the world and with cities expanding using up very fertile farming land it is important to make all the land on a farm productive. A pot hole is waste land where only mosquitoes can hatch. By making pot holes productive the farmers are saving the rain forests

@jrpnnr Total stream cross section (which is width and height) x average stream velocity (basically the speed of the water) = total stream discharge. This means if there is sufficient runoff to fill the channel, a 3 foot wide channel will carry at least 3 times more than a 1 foot channel. More water in the channel at one time means that it will increase flows down the watershed. If I were the RM or the downstream landowners, I would have serious concerns for my roads, infrastructure, and land.

The deere 9630 pulls this rig very nice! we had GPS autograde installed and wow! its nice to only remove a minimum amount! there is a few low res videos taken with a cell phone under jd 9630 pulling v-wing!

@Slammy2010 this machine slows down the water! its more than 3 feet wide! farmers are not trying to drain lake winnipegosis they are simply trying to maintain their landbase and yes this isnt the first or the last flood manitobans will see! RM infrastructure needs to maintain as well just as farmers should! Roads are blocking the natural flow of water so simple maintenence working within water stewardship guidelines is needed for the sustainability of todays farmer!

[Slammy2010]

That's what we need, more drainage. Our lakes in Manitoba just aren't full enough and we have way too many wetlands. Don't you think that speeding up the water will help slow down the erosion? At least other farmers and RM infrastructure won't be affected by faster flows downstream. Yay for drainage! It'll be so much nicer when there are just four of five large farmers in the province and everyone else can move to the city, then we could drain the entire province to feed them.

Ya it needs a real tractor to pull it, nice unit though.

[pinchnloaf]

needs a deere tractor on it.

Feel free to leave comments on this new innovation! i am planning on having some units available for late summer or fall delivery! also if you want to see a live demonstration we will be holding a few events this summer so you can see this massive machine in action! My contact information is at the end of the clip!

Thank-you, Jeff Penner

@cormus1 yes i built this rig so we dont have to seed over every run 5 times to get some seed into the ground! and the added bonus of a ditch that you dont have to slow down for or by mistake hit in the dark and cause damage! another benefit is that it can make a flat bottom ditch that actually reduces erosion drasticly!

maybe so a guy can farm right through the ditch? idk kinda thinkin the same thing
