That's got fairly decent reach on it which is good,What a terrible thing to say. Because someone wants to use a older piece of kit to do a bit of ditching your suggestion is quite extreme, especially considering what’s happening around us recently.
Back on topic, I can’t claim to have done much ditching with my tractor mounted backhoe, but after a bit of a overhaul was surprised how good it actually is! It’s nothing compared to a 3CX or the like, but far better than a spade!!
If you have a ditch or two to open, crack on! If you have a whole farm’s worth, then a “proper” thing may be more in order.
I load some horsey muck with mine, it’s ideal for the job! It is slower, sloppier (marginally!!) and it’s even more of a jumble of oil leaks than Something from the JCB factory, but for what I want, it does me fine.
Yes, it has a round bottom ditcher, two in fact, a small one with teeth, a larger one without. View attachment 861310
