AMCO Manufacturing Water Management

From coupler to cutter head, AMCO makes a better drainage ditcher. Clean roadside ditches or direct water away from crops with the AMCO Rotary Ditcher, an industry best-seller. We offer both offset and vertical models, including the Dominator™ Vertical Rotary Ditcher for tractors with higher horsepower. Ditcher options are available for tractors with PTO ratings of 540 and 1,000.

• Our cutter heads feature five heat-treated, replaceable blades. The cutter head width is adjustable from 18″ to 20″ or from 24″ to 26″.
• The original vertical and offset body styles can be ordered with either diameter cutter head. The Dominator can be ordered with a 24″ to 26″ diameter cutter head.
• Securing the PTO drive shaft for storage is easy with a parking hook on the side of the unit. Our ditchers come with Series 55 PTO drivelines with shear bolt protection.
• Standard on all models is a concave skid shoe design with quick-adjust ratchet, which allows the drainage ditcher to track better and form a more uniform ditch. The skid shoe mount is located behind the gear case and helps prevent debris buildup around the cutter head.
• The ripper shank loosens tough soils and prolongs bearing life. The bearings have a two-year warranty.
• AMCO ditchers come with a case-hardened dual #80 heavy-duty chain with 16-tooth and 22-tooth drive sprockets.
• The powder-coated finish is more durable and environmentally friendly.

AMCO’s revolutionary hydraulically controlled LF6 and LJ6 Levee Plows set a new standard in the rice industry, raising the bar for value, convenience, quality, performance, and durability.

LF6 and LJ6 Hydraulic Levee Plows feature on-the-go gang tilt adjustments, completely controlled from the tractor seat. In addition to hydraulic convenience, the on-the-go adjustments allow the operator to reduce the number of passes required, saving time and fuel.

AMCO Levee Plows are also available in a manual version with turnbuckles: the MLF6 and MLJ6.

• LF6 and MLF6 – 9″ blade spacing
• LJ6 and MLJ6 – 10½” blade spacing

Both our Manual and Hydraulic Levee Plows are designed with reversible gangs so they can tear down as well as build up levees. Cutting weights vary from 216 to 254 pounds per blade, depending on the model.

With the AMCO Manufacturing Terracing Plow (TJ3), you can build 1,000 feet of terraces or more per hour, working within Soil Conservation Service specifications. This terracing plow design is unique to AMCO and can be integrated with your own equipment and operated by your own laborers, saving you time and money when compared to the same terraces built with bulldozers, scrapers, and other large earth-moving equipment.

The AMCO Terracing Plow builds and packs the terrace with multiple trips through the field. In addition to building new terraces, this AMCO tool is effective in refurbishing older terraces.

AMCO offers two specialty water management tools.
