The Ditch Witch 1230 is the ideal walk-along trencher for residential and short-run commercial service line work including gas, water, sewer, electric and communications lines requiring trenches up to 6 inches (150 mm) wide and 36 inches (910 mm) deep.
*Clean, quiet power plant meets California lawn and garden emission standards.
- Productivity and Performance:
*Powerful mechanically driven digging chain.
*Closed-loop hydrostatic ground drive for infinitely variable speeds to better match digging-conditions.
*Choice of 24- 30- and 36-inch (610, 760 and 910 mm) digging booms with large tail rollers for smooth, efficient trenching action.
*Digging chain choices include standard cup-tooth and optional mining bit or Shark Chain, which features welded-on teeth for maximum performance in extreme conditions.
*An axle lock engages both drive wheels for maximum trenching traction, or frees one wheel for easier maneuvering.
*Small enough to fit through a standard yard gate.
-Reliability:
*Ground drive gearbox is integrated with hydraulic motor, eliminating mounting and coupling parts.
*Spoil auger has a new heavy-duty design and is tapered for easier rock clearing.
*Drive axles are tapered for longer life.
