depends on how deep the ditch needs to be, ive dug some drainage ditches using a middle buster followed by a blade at the extream tilt and maximim angle one way or the other works great if you only need a foot or foot and a half or so, any deeper and you cant muck the debris out with a blade

I use my SM and a two bottom. It is a narrow front and on the second pass (opposite direction) I just keep the front in the furrow. The inside bottom makes no contact. Makes a 24" wide ditch.

I rent a farm that the owner dug a ditch over a half mile long to make a field drain better. That ditch is over six feet deep at the crest of the grade. He used a three point rear dump scraper on a 8N Ford. It took him all of his free time over a summer and fall. It did gain him about seven acres of farm ground.
