Built to help power and fiber-optic contractors create a clean, narrow trench in one pass, the new Ditch Witch MT164 microtrencher attachment offers compact cable installation performance, the company said.  

Equipped with a standard hydraulic plunge and option to offset the frame, the MT164 provides variable depth control and gives contractors the ability to cut right up next to a curb, increasing productivity. The MT164 can trench up to two inches wide by 16 inches deep, allowing crews to cut deep enough to get through a standard-sized curb. It can also be set up for a push or pull application depending on the jobsite.

The microtrencher’s compact footprint provides operators increased flexibility with minimal disruption to surrounding infrastructure in urban areas. Contractors can also cross-cut roads, trenching from curb to curb.

The MT164 is part of a complete microtrenching system that includes a construction-grade lineup of the Ditch Witch SK3000 stand-on skid steer and the Ditch Witch HX75 vacuum excavator.
