Ditch cleaner

Is there or has there been any kind of a ditch scraper kind of attachment for farm tractors?

I have a ditch that needs mucked out and thought there might have been a tow able PTO driven device that could scoop out the silt and open the ditches up.

How is this done? I mean besides a gradeall machine I see the county use
 
That's about what I had envisioned. except this is made for ditches that haven't been dug yet I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Was there used in the past?


(quoted from post at 15:46:20 01/30/14) here is a pto driven ditcher. it has a spinning wheel that throws the dirt to the side.
poke here
 
woods has a blade that will shift to 1 side of the tractor or the other as well as blade shift all hydraulic might work for what you want cant think of specific model # right now few different ones
 
neighbor built a giant version of one of these that he pulls with a 1486. the wheel is about 6 ft in diameter. he can toss dirt 50-60 ft easy. a hydro tractor would be better, but thats what he has. he uses it for ditches and waterways, and some terracing.
 
When I was a kid in Idaho, they had a ditcher, which was a small version of a V blade plow with a wheel on both sides. You pulled it with a tractor, with a tire on each side of the ditch.
 
If you go to Utube and find V wing ditcher, at the beginning of the video is a picture of the ditcher I am talking about.
 
Is it something like this? JD no. 8 ditcher...

Did that work reasonably well? I don't now if my tractor would span the ditch though might be too wide in spots. putting a long back blade on and doing one side at a time might work

They would make or clean a ditch like nobody's business,, A ditch bigger than that we called canals,
