Default Re: Ditch digger

I have a similar need. I and other residents maintain 10 miles of mountain road in our development in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The ditches are often cut right up against embankments and trees, so the work has to be performed from the road. I thought that I had once seen an offset ditch plow, but I don't recall if it mounted on the 3-pt hitch, the drawbar or elsewhere.

We have a Kubota L3410 with a FEL and BH, but with that many miles of ditch, we need something that we can drag or push, rather than digging. Our box grader is not wide enough to extend beyond the tires, and our rear angled scraper blade is not beefy enough for the task.

Because we do have a FEL, I am interested in the suggestions about mounting a ditch plow on an arm to the FEL. Has anyone tried this or seen it done?

This is my first post, so please pardon any protocol errors!
