Long Reach Excavating

Reach Where Others Can't

Some jobs require equipment with extraordinary reach. Whether you need a drainage ditch cleaned out, a waterway reshaped, or deep excavation work done from the bank, Strutzenberg Farm Drainage and Excavating has the long reach excavator equipment and expertise to get it done safely and efficiently.

Our long reach excavator extends well beyond the capability of standard machines, allowing us to work in areas that would otherwise require extensive mobilization, multiple pieces of equipment, or be inaccessible entirely.

What We Can Do

  • Open ditch and drainage channel cleaning
  • Waterway excavation and reshaping
  • Deep ditch cleaning and sediment removal
  • Creek and stream bank work
  • Pond excavation and deepening
  • Difficult-access excavation projects
  • Tile outlet and intake structure installation
  • Drainage structure repair and replacement

Why Long Reach Matters

When a standard excavator can't safely reach the work area — whether due to steep banks, soft ground, or standing water — a long reach excavator is the answer. Our extended boom allows the machine to stay on firm ground while the bucket reaches far out to do the work, keeping your project moving and your costs down.

This is especially valuable for Iowa farmers dealing with choked tile outlets, eroded waterways, and silt-filled drainage ditches that reduce the effectiveness of their drainage systems.

Maintaining Your Drainage System

Even the best-installed tile drainage system needs proper outlets and open ditches to function correctly. Over time, ditches fill with sediment, vegetation, and debris — reducing flow and backing up water into your fields. Our long reach excavator service keeps your outlets and drainage channels clear, maximizing the return on your drainage investment.
