Ride-on trencher

Ride-on trencher

Ditch Witch’s new ride-on trencher, the RT45, is an upgrade of the company’s popular RT40. Some of the advancements include a Tier 4i-compliant engine, improved air filtration, and new, easy-to-read gauges in the operator’s station. Like the RT40, the new RT45 offers a choice of attachments, including a centreline or dual-position trencher, vibratory plow, rotary saw, combination trencher/plow, and backhoe.
The new, emissions-compliant engine is surprisingly quiet, so the RT45 can be operated in noise-sensitive urban areas. The quiet engine also means greater operator comfort, a traditional design objective of Ditch Witch engineers. Other operator-friendly features of the RT45 include a roomy operator’s station, easy-to-read gauges, intuitive controls, easily accessible service points, and an engine exhaust pipe that diverts hot air and noise away from the operator.
For high-vibration applications, the RT45 can be equipped with an optional heavy-duty engine mount.
