Ditch Witch beacons are as durable as they are dependable in providing HDD bore-path data. Rubber end caps, secure hardware battery contacts, and double springs on battery fittings provide better protection from shock and vibration, and enhance overall performance. Our most rugged beacon, the 88B, is reinforced with a shock-resistant composite housing, larger antenna, and stiffer battery springs to minimize intermittent signals.
Self-contained electronic pitch sensors eliminate the need for mechanical/electrical parts, resulting in improved reliability and more stable operation for smooth pitch readings.
The 86BG measures and displays pitch in 0.1% increments.

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. *Units are calibrated to these tolerances under test field conditions. Actual field conditions may cause signal distortions or may contain noise sources which result in depth estimates that vary from these figures. **Continuous use at 70° F (21° C).
Location, depth, roll angle, pitch, beacon temperature, battery status—the Ditch Witch Electronics 752 Tracker and 752 Display see all and tell all. The lightweight, exceptionally durable 752 system works with Ditch Witch directional drilling beacons to provide the vital information you need for a successful HDD system installation.
The 752 Tracker provides comprehensive guidance data for shallow bores, deep bores, or a combination of the two, using walkover beacon tracking, remote guidance and line locating capabilities.
The 752 Display can receive data up to 2000 feet (610 m), store up to ten jobs of 254 pipes each, and provide downloads to the TMS Plus system.
