The Tremendous Efficiency of Austin Drainage Excavators 



Ditch Being DUE with Sloping Banks An Austin Drainage Excavator Ditch, 

 showing variations in width made by same machine 



is shown by their work in the 

 prairie soils of Illinois and Iowa, 

 where every kind of earth is 

 found each particularly suscep- 

 tible to caving from action of 

 frost. -To date we have not 

 learned of a single cleanout or 

 repair being made. 



By the Austin System al. 

 parts of the bank and bottom 

 are true to grade and slope 

 and equally firm, and conse- 

 quently offer equal resistance 

 to water, i This means a per- 

 manent ditch which keeps its 

 shape, and does not require 

 constant cleaning, deepening and 

 widening.
