The excavator end of the new Ditch Witch XT855 compact excavator-tool carrier has a 260-degree operating radius, enabling it to offset dig and deposit spoils anywhere within the swing arc. The operator can dig against a footing, wall or fence, and dig a number of trenches without having to move the machine. The 30-horsepower XT855 has a lift capacity of 1,080 pounds when equipped with optional extension legs.
