The Zahn R300 power unit from Ditch Witch includes a 30-hp Kohler engine, operator's console and articulated joint that enables the front end to perform like a dedicated machine. The two-wheel-drive R300 powers two types of front-end trenchers, while the four-wheel-drive InterChange unit accepts up to seven types of front ends: trencher, plow, dumper, tiller, backhoe, stump grinder and a tool carrier that can drive more than 40 quick-change attachments. The fully hydraulic, articulated-steering allows operators to easily trench a curve around trees, swimming pools and other obstacles.

“The units can be set up 36 inches wide to work in tight spaces and have an 11-gallon fuel tank to allow the unit to operate all day long without needing to be refueled,” says Kevin Smith, compact utility equipment product manager for Ditch Witch. “The unit also features ground speeds more than twice as fast as existing products, which makes getting to and from the jobsite much quicker.”

The ride-on platform on the Zahn R300 is designed to absorb shock, minimize fatigue and keep the operator out of dirt, mud and debris. The operator's console features soft-touch, color-coded, ergonomic controls that are easy to grip and provide smooth, easy operation. The platform is elevated to give the operator an unobstructed view of the work. The Zahn R300 also comes standard with cruise control, which locks in the ground speed and minimizes operator fatigue.
