RT10
Pedestrian Trencher

The 11-hp (8.2 kW) RT10 is the trencher for the small contractor or homeowner—designed by the small contractor and homeowner. With Ditch Witch equipment trademarks like maneuverability, easy steering and operation, the RT10 is designed for one essential mission: put more product in the ground faster. There are lots of ways to customize your RT10, too, including a choice of tires or tracks and a backfill blade that is so efficient you just might retire that shovel.
    Key Features
  • Hydraulic steering makes the RT10 more maneuverable and more productive.
  • Designed with maximum weight on the digging chain so you can put more product in the ground faster.
  • Choice of high-flotation tires or heavy-duty oscillating tracks, both of which provide the stability and traction to drive across trenches, curbs, and rough terrain.
