Special Plowing
Your Ditch Witch equipment allows you to
plow four ways: normal plowing, offset plowing
(1), coordinated plowing (2), and crabbing (3).
Offset Plow
Offset plowing can be used to plow next to a
road while keeping tracks on a more stable surface or in similar conditions.
1. Use plow swing to move plow to planned trench line.
2. Use blade steer to position blade parallel to direction of tractor frame.
Coordinated Plow
Coordinated plowing can be used to turn a tight circle around a jobsite obstacle or in similar conditions.
1. Move rear steer/center switch to the rear steer position.
2. Use the rear steer switch to position the tracks as shown above (2).
3. Slowly move tractor forward.
4. Plow as normal.
Crab Plow
Crab can be used to plow along edge of jobsite or in similar conditions.
1. Move rear steer/center switch to the rear steer position.
2. Use the rear steer switch to position the tracks as shown above (3).
3. Slowly move tractor forward.
4. Plow as normal.
NOTICE: Oversteering blade may damage
blade or cable.
IMPORTANT: When coordinated plowing, keep plow blade straight or in the same angle position as rear
tracks.
