One Great Economy 



of the AUSTIN DRAINAGE EXCAVATOR 

 for ditch construction is that it digs a deep 

 ditch just as cheaply per cubic yard as it digs a 

 shallow ditch. A shallow ditch can be dug very 

 cheaply with scrapers or graders but after the 

 first two feet of top soil are removed the cost 

 per cubic yard increases enormously. An 

 AUSTIN DRAINAGE EXCAVATOR does not 

 suffer from this disadvantage; it digs the third 

 or fifth or tenth foot in depth equally cheap per 

 cubic yard. It also digs a ditch with sloping 

 sides, and "shaped" embankments complete in 

 one operation. 



POSITIVE ACTION distinguishes all our 

 drainage and irrigation earthwork machines. 

 The buckets of the AUSTIN DRAINAGE EX- 

 CAVATOR are positively guided in their work 

 by a templet adjusted to the exact cross-section 

 of the canal. The bucket of the AUSTIN 

 ORANGE PEEL DITCHER is positively 

 forced into the ground, there is no chance about 



its taking a full load it positively must. The same is true of each of the other special machines listed below. 



Each of them is designed to do a certain kind of work better than any other machine could do it.
