Specifications are general and subject to change without notice. If exact measurements are required, equipment should be weighed and measured, due to selected options, delivered equipment may not necessarily match that shown. *For the RT40, dimensions are based on unit equipped with 64-in (1.6 mm) backfill blade and 26 X 12.00-12 tires. For the RT36, dimensions are based on unit equipped with 26 X 12.00-12 tires and 39-inch(990mm) roller boom, unless otherwise specified.
The RT36 is the emissions-compliant engine upgrade of the Ditch Witch 3610, one of the best-selling trenchers ever. Like the rest of the RT family, the RT36 has intuitive controls, automotive-style steering and a maintenance-free mechanical drive.
Advanced hydraulics: during trenching, ground drive is hydraulic; digging and ground drives adjust independently, for quick adaptation to different soils.
Maintenance-free mechanical drive; enclosed, oil-filled gearbox reduces wear on drive components and allows smooth, easy shifting between ground and digging drives.
