TRANSPORTATION
If you will be transporting your ditcher on a trailer or in the back of your pickup truck, make sure
the machine is safely secured. It may cause injury to yourself or others, or damage the machine if it is not
securely tied down. You may wish to place boards under each parking stand and the drag plate to
prevent damage to the floor of your pickup or trailer.
UNHITCHING FROM TRACTOR

Lower parking stands; insert parking stand lock pins to secure.
2) Lower ditcher until it is sitting firmly on parking stands and drag plate.
WARNING!
Always shut tractor engine off before unhooking PTO.
3) Pull the PTO safety slide lock (See page 11 item L5) back on the PTO and remove from tractor
spline.
4)
Place PTO in its holder.
5) If using a quick hitch, release the quick hitch latches, lower the quick hitch, and slowly pull forward.
6)
If not using a quick hitch, remove the lynch pins, hitch pins, and spacers, and slowly pull forward.
7) Return lynch pins, hitch pins, and spacers to ditcher hitch.
USING THE STORM 3 PT 8-12
Each customer will use their machine for different purposes and in slightly different ways. We cannot tell
you the proper way to use your machine for your particular purpose, but we can make recommendations
for various uses.
When using the Storm on a 30 HP tractor, it is best to cut 2-3 inches deep and travel approximately 2.50
miles per hour. As you increase horsepower, you’ll be capable of cutting slightly deeper and travelling
slightly faster, at a maximum of 6 inches deep per pass, and up to 4.50 miles per hour.
