Ditch Witch released its new ST37X stand-on trencher.
Equipped with a 50,000-pound chain and an integrated digging system, the machine allows operators to trench up to 16-inch wide and 36-inch deep.
Additionally, the new machine features a multiposition trencher, centerline to offset digging, which gives operators the ability to trench directly next to the backer board when preparing footings.
“We continually look to integrate customer feedback into our machines while pushing innovation, and optimizing performance and productivity,” said Chris Thompson, Ditch Witch product manager, compact equipment. “The ST37X is our first stand-on trencher, providing landscape operators a reliable, durable machine to confidently meet and exceed their job site needs.”
The new stand-on trencher is powered by a Tier 4, 37-hp Yanmar diesel engine and features a 74-square-inch operator platform. With 43 inches of track on the ground, the ST37X also provides the stability to effectively cross-trench for added job site versatility, Ditch Witch said.
The unit’s track-tensioning system features a grease cylinder for easy adjustments, track removal and maintenance.
