420sx Vibratory Plow

The Ditch Witch 420sx vibratory plow features riding capability, greater horsepower (40 hp) than other models, and several features that other articulating vibratory plows in its class do not have. The 420sx exclusively features a dual-speed attachment drive. With two speeds, the operator can quickly adapt to changing ground conditions, whether plowing or trenching. The 420sx is designed to closely follow the contour of the ground, which helps the attachment maintain a constant plowing depth on uneven terrain. Besides a standard vibratory plow, the 420sx can run a Roto Witch boring attachment and trencher. The operator’s console of the 420sx moves with the operator when the machine’s frame articulates, so the controls are always in the same place in relation to the operator. Another exclusive feature of the 420sx is its fold-down ROPS (roll-over protective structure), which enables the unit to operate under tree limbs, eaves and other low-hanging obstacles.

Post Driver/Puller

MTA Distributors brings for the first time to the rental market the “Big Bob” Post Driver/Puller from Lobo Products, LLC (Model 8144-TH-3). This innovative tool is designed to replace a post puller and driver in one compact unit. The 16 pounds sliding handle saves the strain of lifting the entire unit while delivering plenty of force to drive or pull posts from even the hardest soil types. The carbon locking screw securely fastens to the post to turn the driver into a puller.
