The Ditch Witch 410sx is the most outstanding articulated-steer vibratory drop plow in the 30-hp (22 kW) class. With dozens of innovative features, including a plow vibrator with automatic blade centering, the 410sx quickly and efficiently installs communication lines, natural gas and water services, or a complete underground sprinkler system without digging a trench. But if you need a trench, the 410sx can do that, too.
Articulated-frame steering enables the 410sx to maneuver around trees and other obstacles.
Oscillating rear axle allows four-wheel drive to provide excellent traction.
Direct hydrostatic ground, plow and trencher drives require no chain adjustments.
