In September 2020, Hurricane Ditcher Company, Inc. acquired Maddock Corporation, which manufactures roadside maintenance equipment for the construction industries and state and county governments. With the acquisition of the Maddock product line, Hurricane Ditcher positioned itself as a leader in the water management and road construction industries.
Both companies began in the mid 1980’s and serve a variety of customers in 35 states and 14 countries, offering more than 20 different models to help solve a variety of water management and road maintenance issues for their customers.
THE MADDOCK LINE
The Maddock line offers backhoe and excavator mills, roadside ditchers, an asphalt recycler, berm cutter, and rotograder. The backhoe and excavator mills are designed to cut up to 8 inches in depth in ½-inch increments. They are an effective tool for asphalt, or concrete cuts and the grinding of shelf rock, or outcroppings, in construction work.
Maddock roadside ditchers are excellent for forming a v-sided, flat bottom ditch 16 inches wide at the base, and 27 inches deep in one pass. The RD160 can cut to a maximum depth of 60 inches below the road base, and has a maximum right-side out-reach of 84 inches.
The asphalt recycler is excellent for optimum performance for the partial-depth, cold, in-place recycling method of road rehabilitation. The gradation of the milled material is the single most important factor for consistent quality in the recycling process.
The berm cutter is a pull type, engine-driven machine designed to pulverize and discharge a high berm at the road’s edge. It can average 3 to 5 miles per day, with one man and one machine, in a variety of weather conditions.
The rotograder does a superior job surface milling, pulverizing gravel roads, performing surface milling of high joints on rough or grooved asphalt, and cutting and pulverizing road shoulders. This multi-surface, self-powered milling attachment is designed to attach to a motor grade.

The Hurricane line offers eleven models of equipment for reshaping waterways and terraces, cleaning roadside ditches, and constructing surface drainage ditches, using your own farm tractor. These include pull type machines, sidearm, and 3-point hitch machines, all designed for farm or roadside drainage.
