The king of the Ditch Witch mountain is the HT300, a rock-digging workhorse capable of trenching up to ten feet (3.1 meters) deep and up to 36 inches (914 millimeters) wide in the most extreme jobsite conditions. The 300 horsepower (224 kilowatt) HT300 is designed to deliver maximum trenching power even on rocky and / or uneven terrain, making it the ideal trencher for wind-farm construction, pipeline work, installing and repairing energy-distribution facilities, and other heavy-duty applications.
