Giant Drainage Ditch Plow
V-Wing is a heavy-duty ditching plow invented by a 29-year-old farmer. It makes 32-ft. wide drainage ditches in a single pass, eliminating the need for multiple passes required by other ditchers. The 12-ft., V-blade “nose” is fixed in place while the 10-ft. wings lift and fold back for easy transport. The wings also have a flatter pitch than the nose blade, causing a rolling action, breaking up clay and other heavy soils that might otherwise clod or cake. The rugged frame and heavy-duty hydraulics sweep rocks and dirt to either side. A second pass can feather the sides or scatter dirt even more, if needed. Only recently patented, the price is yet to be determined.
