Ditch Witch adds the new XT1600 excavator-tool carrier, designed to perform the job of three machines: a backhoe loader, mini-excavator and compact track loader. Equipped with a 59-hp diesel engine, the TX1600 is a ride-on unit that features a 260-degree excavator sweep that enables the operator to dig in multiple positions in confined places, including offset digging along walls, fences and buildings.
“The XT1600 has a relatively small footprint, which is an advantage in terms of maneuvering around tight jobsites and also in terms of transport,” says Mike Lumbers, Ditch Witch senior compact utility product manager. “At only 9,500 pounds, it allows a variety of trailer and towing options.”
An innovative equalizer track system with pivoting rollers helps keep more track on the surface for a smoother ride. More track on the ground equals more stability for loading and unloading, Lumbers says. Stabilizers on the excavator end give the unit additional stability when excavating in tough soils.
The unit is built for versatility and is capable of running a variety of compact utility attachments, including most full-size skid-steer attachments.
