The D5P/D10P Series Power Ditchers are connected to
the tractor PTO shaft by means of a shielded double
u-joint. The 2-3/16" diameter alloy steel in-put and
out-put shafts are connected by a #80-2 double roller
chain drive. The drive system rotates on four (4) tri-ply
seal ball bearings in a continuous oil bath.
The D5P18A has a 22 tooth in-put sprocket and a 16
tooth out-put sprocket. The D10P18A has a 16 tooth
in-put sprocket and a 22 tooth out-put sprocket. This
combination gives a cutter head speed of 740 RPM on
both models. (D5P18 @ 540 RPM PTO and D10P18 @
1000 RPM PTO.)
