your safety program. Be certain that EVERYONE
operating this equipment is familiar with the recommended operating and maintenance procedures
and follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death
by ignoring good safety practices.
•
Ditcher owners must give operating instructions
to operators or employees before allowing them
to operate the machine, and at least annually
thereafter.
•
The most important safety device on this
equipment is a SAFE operator. It is the operator’s
responsibility to read and understand ALL
Safety and Operating instructions in the manual
and to follow these. Most accidents can be
avoided.
•
A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified
to operate the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death.
•
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the
equipment.

SAFETY TRAINING
2.3
SAFETY SIGNS
1. Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator or
bystander.
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all
times.
2. In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of this equipment.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign
should also display the current sign.
3. It has been said, "The best safety feature is an
informed, careful operator."
We ask you to be that kind of
an operator. It is the operator's responsibility to read and
understand ALL Safety and
Operating instructions in the manual and to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.
How to Install Safety Signs:
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead
to careless injuries. Read this manual, and
the manual for your power unit, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with
the machines. If this machine is used by any
person other than yourself, or is loaned or
rented, it is the machine owner's responsibility to make certain that the operator, prior to
operating:
a.
Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5. Know your controls and how to stop power unit
engine and machine quickly in an emergency.
Read this manual and the one provided with
your power unit.
6. Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. Be certain
only a properly trained and physically able person will operate the machinery. A person who
has not read and understood all operating and
safety instructions is not qualified to operate
the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to possible serious injury
or death. If the elderly are assisting with work,
their physical limitations need to be recognized
and accommodated.
4
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible.
4. Safety signs are available from your Dealer
Parts Department or the factory.

PREPARATION
1. Do not operate the tractor and machine until
you have read and completely understand this
manual, the tractor operator's manual, and each
of the safety messages found on the safety signs
on the tractor and machine.
2. Personal protection equipment
including hard
hat, safety glasses, safety shoes,
and gloves are
recommended
during assembly, installation,
operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or
moving the implement. Do not allow long hair,
loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around
equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING
LOSS!
Tractors with or without equipment attached can often be
noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing loss. We
recommend that you wear hearing protection
on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator's position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db
on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing
loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator
over a long-term basis may cause permanent,
total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from
loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios,
and other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural
recovery.
4. Operate the machine only with
a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over-Protective
Structure (ROPS). Always
wear your seat belt. Serious
injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor
---particularly during a turnover
when the operator could be pinned under the
ROPS or the tractor.
5. Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden obstacles that might be hooked or snagged,
causing injury or damage.
6. Do not operate ditcher where there is a chance
of buried utilities. Check with local authorities
on location of utilities before ditching.

clamps or cements. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high-pressure. Such
repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous
and unsafe condition.
5. Wear proper hand and
eye protection when
searching for a highpressure hydraulic leak.
Use a piece of wood or
cardboard as a backstop
instead of hands to isolate
and identify a leak.
6. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure
stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention
immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction
can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the
skin surface.
7. Before applying pressure to the system, make
sure all components are tight and that lines,
hoses and couplings are not damaged.
2.9
TRANSPORT SAFETY
1. Comply with state and local laws governing
highway safety and movement of machinery on
public roads.
2. The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in
most localities. However, some localities prohibit
their use. Local laws should be checked for all
highway lighting and marking requirements.
3. At all times when driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 20 mph (32
kph), use flashing amber warning lights and a
slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem. Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Reduce
speed on rough roads and surfaces.
2.11
TIRE SAFETY
1. Failure to follow proper procedures when
mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce
an explosion which may result in serious injury

the soil in one operation time and energy is reduced
considerably from traditional ditching methods. The
Wolverine is capable of throwing soil 300ft (100M)
on either side of the ditcher, combine this with a GPS
or Laser guided leveling system and you have the
ultimate ditching machine. Many years of development have gone into the wolverine with the help of
suggestions made by customers like you.
In addition to the design and configuration
of equipment, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of equipment.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read this manual and to train all other
operators before they start working with the
machine. Follow all safety instructions exactly.
Safety is everyone's business. By following
recommended procedures, a safe working
environment is provided for the operator,
bystanders and the area around the worksite.
Untrained operators are not qualified to operate
the machine.
Many features incorporated into this machine are
the result of suggestions made by customers like
you. Read this manual carefully to learn how to
operate the machine safely and how to set it to
provide maximum efficiency. By following the
operating instructions in conjunction with a good
maintenance program, your Ditcher will provide
many years of trouble-free service.

MACHINE COMPONENTS
The Dynamic Ditchers Wolverine Extreme Ditcher
consists of a large fan with 8 paddles to move the
soil, water and debris away from the machine. A
cutting blade with ripper fingers is located on the
bottom of the frame to loosen and pick up soil and
direct it into the fan. A kicker shaft equipped with
paddles and fingers moves the material loosened by
the cutting blade toward the center and into the fan.
Power to the fan and kicker shaft is supplied by the
tractor PTO. The shaft extends along the right side
of the frame and into a splitter gearbox that directs
power to the fan drive gearbox and into the chain case
to drive the kicker shaft assembly.
A hydraulically powered kicker shaft reverser is
located on the left side end of the shaft and is used to
clean out and unplug the fan intake area. A mounting

7. Stopping:
a. Stop forward motion.
b. Raise the machine out of the ground.
c. Run until all material has moved through
the machine.
d. Slowly decrease engine speed.
e. Slowly disengage PTO clutch to allow the
fan to slow and stop.
8. Emergency Stopping:
Stop forward motion, disengage PTO clutch and
stop engine or just stop engine if an emergency
arises.
WARNING
Place all controls in neutral, lower
machine, stop engine, set park
brake and wait for all moving parts
to stop before dismounting.
9. Over-Running Clutch:
Each ditcher is designed with an over-running
clutch that allows the fan to continue to rotate if/
when power is removed. The clutch is located
at the front end of the second input shaft.
The over-running clutch automatically allows
the fan momentum to run down when power is
stopped.
25
10. Machine Hazard Area:
Stay away from the sides of the machine when
it is running. The ditcher can throw objects 100
m (300 feet). Keep others away. The fan can
pick up stones, sticks, wire and other debris and
throw it out with enough force to severely injure
bystanders. Stay out of shaded area. Keep
others out.
Shut down machine and wait for moving parts
to stop before approaching machine.

GRADUAL TURN (Typical)
11. Ground Speed:
The machine works well when operated at 1 to
4 mph (1.6 to 6 kph) in most conditions. Raise
or lower the blade to control the load factor.
Use ground speed in conjunction with depth to
operate tractor at 80% to 90% load factor.
12. Turning Under Load:
The ditcher is designed and equipped with a
large, high-capacity driveline to provide an acceptable life in the expected operating conditions. Unfortunately a constant velocity (CV)
feature is not available for the high-capacity
driveline.
26
This means that turns or corners under load
of more than 25° will substantially reduce the
expected life of the driveline. Any turns under
load of more than 25° require the driveline to
be turned off. Most of the applications involve
a gradual turn under load to follow the ground
contours for terracing or building ditches. Turn
the PTO off, make the sharp turn or corner and
straighten out before re-engaging the PTO.
13. Depth:
The operator controls the position and
depth of the cutting blade during operation.
Adjust or set the depth of the cutting blade in
combination with the travel speed to load the
tractor to 80-90% load factor. Increase the load
factor by increasing travel speed or increasing
the depth of the cut. Decrease the load factor
by raising the cutting blade or reducing travel
speed.
14. Ripper Fingers:
The ripper fingers are mounted on the cutting
blade to break up the hard soil into smaller
pieces and help direct it into the kicker shaft
components and into the fan. They are mounted
with plow bolts and can be removed to prevent
leaving ruts or to reduce tractive loading.
15. Kicker Shaft:
The ditcher is designed with a kicker shaft
positioned above the cutting blade to help break
up the material loosened by the cutting blade
and to move the material into the fan.
a. Paddles are mounted on the kicker shaft
brackets to push the material into the fan.
b. Fingers are mounted on the kicker shaft
brackets to both break up the material and
move it into the fan.
Both paddles and fingers are mounted at an
angle to convey the material toward the
centerline of the frame as it moves into the fan.

20. Multiple Passes:
In situations that require the removal or moving
of a large quantity of soil for ditching, draining
or terracing, multiple passes are recommended.
Remove the soil a little at a time to form a smooth
contour on the sides of the channel. This will
allow other machinery to move over the channel
without interfering with operation or damaging
it. Use the chutes and direction to form terraces
or let the soil fly to distribute it evenly over the
adjacent field area.

23. Drive System Component Protection:
a. Shear Bolts (2013 and earlier):
The machine was designed with 2 shear
bolts in the input driveline yoke in front of
the gear box to protect against damage from
shock loads.
IMPORTANT
Increasing or decreasing PTO RPM rapidly
can break shear bolts. Change engine
speed slowly to decrease driveline loading.
Ditcher
NOTE
All shear bolts must be 3/8" x 2 1/4 " grade
8 to provide the required protection. A 2
1/4" bolt will have the shank of the bolt
at the shearing plane. A shorter bolt will
have threads at the shearing plane and not
provide protection.
Schematic - Shear Bolts (2013 & Earlier)
Always use a locknut or double nut on the
bolts to insure the required clamping force
is maintained across the shear plane in
the yoke. Always check the integrity of
the shear bolt holes when replacing bolts.
When holes are enlarged, replace yoke.
b. Slip Clutch (2014 and later):
A slip clutch is positioned in the input drive
system in front of the gearbox to protect
against damage from shock loads. It is
preset at the factory and does not require
servicing and cannot be adjusted.
Slip Clutch (2014 & Later)
Fig. 28 DRIVE SYSTEM COMPONENT PROTECTION
24. Auto Clutch:
The machine is designed with an overload
clutch drive only by the top sprocket of the chain
drive system turning the kicker shaft to protect
against damage from overloads. It is set at the
factory when new and is not serviceable. Stop
immediately when the auto clutch releases.
Determine the cause of the overload and correct
it before returning to work.

have worn down 25 mm (1 inch).
e.
Kicker Shaft Paddles:
These components are used by the kicker
shaft to move the material toward the center
of the frame and into the fan. Replace when
they have worn down 25 mm (1 inch) and
no longer move the material as required.
f.
Kicker Shaft Fingers:
These components work with the paddles
to break up the soil and move it into the
fan. Replace when they have worn down
25 mm (1 inch) and are no longer effective
in breaking up the soil or moving it into the
fan.
g.
Side Cutting Blades:
The intake area is designed with a cutting
blade on each side to provide a clean cut
through the soil. Replace these blades
when they have worn down 25 mm (1 inch).

31. Reverser / Unplugging:
Although the ditcher is designed with a large
capacity and heavy-duty components, it can be
overloaded or plugged. Generally the intake
area of the kicker shaft and associated compnents plug with dirt from overloading or if a large
object/obstruction is encountered. Follow these
typical steps depending on the conditions:
a.
Overloading:
Slow the travel speed or raise the cutting
blade to reduce the depth of the cut. Use
ground speed and depth to control the load
factor.
b.
Plugging:
Generally plugging occurs in the intake area
under the kicker shaft due to overloading or
encountering an obstruction. In most cases
the auto clutch will release and the kicker
shaft will stop turning. No material will be
moved into the fan.
Stop forward motion and back up to allow
fan to clear itself. If the fan does not clear
itself, stop the PTO. Use the reverser to
move material out of the intake area. Remove the obstruction (if required) before
resuming work.

b. Stones up to 5 inches (125 mm) or so can
be handled by the machine. Just be sure
that buildings, animals or people are not in
the discharge path. It is recommended that
larger stones be removed before starting if
they are in the working area.
c. To form a drainage system that will allow
other equipment to travel across the ditch
without damaging the machines, it is recommended that more than one pass be
made to make a wide channel. If it needs
to be deeper, make another pass down the
center.
d. Set the ground speed and machine depth
to give an 80% load factor on the engine
for normal operating conditions. Using a
tractor equipped with a CVT or IVT
transmission with Power Sense provides
the best performance in the field.
