The Ditch Witch RT45 – The Class Standard in Ride-On Trenchers
The RT45 has been the most sought-after ride-on trencher of its class for half a century, and for good reason. When it comes to toughness and reliability, the Ditch Witch RT45 is second to none.
This industry-standard chain trencher is perfect for longer, deeper jobs that are too narrow to require an excavator, and too long to employ a walk-behind machine. This machine’s trench depth is the deepest offered by Ditch Witches compact trenchers, and the adjustable boom gives the operator flexibility in drench depth.
Sometimes, they do get it right the first time and Ditch Witch has long shown this to be true in their RT45 compact trencher. When the brand has become synonymous with the machine, like with Scotch-Tape or Krazy-Glue, then you know they are an industry leader.
