Ditch Witch

The RT20 from Ditch Witch is a 20-hp walk-behind trencher that features a stacked, in-line hydraulic pump configuration to eliminate vertical shafts and the use of belts and flywheel reduction systems. The fully hydrostatic ground drive has skid-steer-style steering. The trail wheel gives the operator an additional point of leverage besides the track undercarriage, which facilitates keeping the trencher boom in the ground during operation. The units come with a choice of high-flotation tires or heavy-duty DuraTraks.

Bradco

Bradco's full trencher line includes the 330, 612, 615, 615F, 625 and 640, with cutting depths ranging from 24 to 60 inches and cutting widths from 3 to 12 inches, with standard and high-flow models. Tooth options include cup, shark and rock and frost teeth. A discharging auger places dirt away from the trench to eliminate refilling. Each trench utilizes a fixed-length boom with a spring-loaded, self-adjusting idler and full rock guard for added durability and safety during trenching. All units use a 50,000-pound anti-back-flex chain for extended life in tough terrain. Multiple motor options are available to match requirements of various skid-steer loader models.
