Ditch witch Backhoe / trencher identification

[DIESELSUBMARINER]

hello Guys,

first Post here
im looking to purchase an old Ditch witch. Does anybody know, which model this is and are there any major issues with those?
it comes with original trailer, owner wants 3K, which is the least expensive one I seen for a while.

thanks for any advise.

Contact your local Ditch Witch dealer...they are very helpful and will likely let you send them some pictures and help ID the model...or tell you how to ID it..
I have a 3610 with an A22 backhoe...

Does yours have a 6 way blade? the one pic looks like it does but not the other??

If everything works $3K is a good deal especially considering it comes with the trailer whic is easily worth half that...

everything is supposed to work exept the front blade has a broken mounting bracket that needs welding, therefore it is taken off. also the front support legs are missing. the trailer is in a decent shape, no fenders, but has new tires.
ditch with is also missing one of the rear side body panels that covers the chain drive. the diesel engine is running fine.
I will look at it Saturday and make a decision then.
what manufacturer diesel engine do they run?

The ones I am familiar with are powered by air cooled Deutz diesels...

Without stabilizers the front blade is doubly important...other than the parking brake there is nothing to keep the machine from moving when using the backhoe...

I have an auxiliary valve on my 3610 that allows me to operate the blade and the F/R drive system from the backhoe station...
