Meyer 3 point v ditcher dimensions?

flated · Aug 24, 2016

I have a nice 5' v ditcher blade rigged on a solid 3 point setup for my Ford 2n, but I can't get the vertical drop to do a good job cleaning ditches. The old Meyers system used a kind of parallelogram linkage and a hydraulic cylinder to drop the point in addition to the 3 point arm drop, yet you could raise it quite a bit to climb in and out of short ditches. Anybody have one of the class 1 3 point meyers units who could get me the link and cylinder dimensions? Thanks

Those ditchers used a standard 8" stroke 'farm cylinder'.Since your 2N doesn't have any 'remote' hydralics,you need to get a screwjack designed to take the place of the cylinder.Never heard or seen a meyers that was Cat1. Cat 2 is common.That ditcher will stall a 100_horse tractor if you stick it in the ground.In fact,I cant even immagine a 2n lifting one,let alone pulling a ditch.
