Période

1913-1960

Canada

This machine represents the development of mechanized trenching as applied to agricultural and industrial purposes in the early 1900s. The ditcher was purchased by Drury Construction in Arthur, ON in 1913 and used until the 1960s. It was sold, used by the new buyer in a very limited way, and then resold to Ivan Mcdougal, of Arthur.

Fonction

Dtichers dig trenches and lay tile drains to drain wet land to make it suitable for agricultural production (and often to making it easier for heavier equipment to operate in previously wet fields). Ditchers can also dig open-trenches for laying pipelines or for creating open drainage ditches.

Technique

This machine represents development in power units after steam, the use of crawler tracks for propulsion, and application of power to control the position of the digging wheel. The Buckeye Steam Ditcher Company was founded in Bowling Green, Ohio around 1893 by James B. Hil. Hill was founder of the Buckeye Steam Ditcher Company, which was headquartered in Bowling Green, Ohio, in the 1890s. Ross Irwin notes that the Buckeye company "monopolized the Canadian business to 1955." [104]
