RT36
Compact Trencher

The RT36 is the emissions-compliant engine upgrade of the Ditch Witch 3610, one of the best-selling trenchers ever. Like the rest of the RT family, the RT36 has intuitive controls, automotive-style steering and a maintenance-free mechanical drive.
    Key Features
  • Advanced hydraulics: during trenching, ground drive is hydraulic; digging and ground drives adjust independently, for quick adaptation to different soils.
  • Maintenance-free mechanical drive; enclosed, oil-filled gearbox reduces wear on drive components and allows smooth, easy shifting between ground and digging drives.
