The Model 24 Ditcher-Terracer was developed in 1986 as an efficient and affordable machine to make surface drainage ditches, to construct and clean waterways, and to build and maintain terraces using a standard farm tractor. It has become increasingly popular among soil conservation districts for cleaning waterways and rebuilding terraces.
