History of Ditch Witch Excavator’s

The captivating history of Ditch Witch serves as a testament to the evolution of utility paving technology, tracing its roots from manual trenching to the contemporary era of trenchless construction methods.

Founded by Ed Malzahn in Perry, Oklahoma, Ditch Witch's inaugural product addressed the labor-intensive challenge of laying pipes with hand-held tools. The trencher, an innovative solution, emerged without a moniker until Ed sought assistance from Lewis Brandenburg, an agency owner in Tulsa.

During a discussion that evening, names associated with subterranean fauna were contemplated, with a particular focus on chipmunks and moles. Ed conveyed his desire to incorporate "ditcher" or "trencher" into the title before the meeting concluded. By morning, the leading contender was the name Ditch Witch, accompanied by the brand's iconic logo—a witch riding a shovel against the backdrop of a full moon, giving birth to the Dich Vic brand.

Ditch Witch's distinctive features, according to its creator, evolved serendipitously. The decision to paint the first trencher orange was influenced by the surplus orange paint from a lumber yard owner. This departure from the conventional yellow, coupled with the unique name and capabilities of the trencher, defined the distinct identity of the Ditch Witch brand.

One of the remarkable offerings from Ditch Witch is the C24X hand trencher, designed to enhance productivity and profitability. Its CX Series trencher track design facilitates superior traction and maneuverability in confined spaces. User-friendly controls ensure seamless operations, and the open design simplifies access, reducing maintenance time and ensuring readiness.

The power unit, featuring a reliable 24hp Honda® engine, guarantees high availability for the C24X Ditch Witch hand trencher. With digging depths of up to 91 cm, it excels in high-quality pipe and cable routing. The hydraulic system's innovative design eliminates vertical shafts and belts, enhancing reliability and simplicity.

The CX Series trench construction boasts exclusive track design, providing increased stability and traction for heightened productivity. The machine's compact nature, attributed to the shorter left-hand track, enhances maneuverability in tight spaces. Reliability is further enhanced by a robust pivot design, greaseless sealed bearing, and a standard outboard bearing support.

Easy operation is a hallmark of the C24X, featuring hydraulic steering for maneuverability and responsive controls that reduce operator fatigue. Improved visibility at the operator station contributes to enhanced productivity. With these features, the C24X stands as a testament to Ditch Witch's commitment to innovation, reliability, and user-centric design in the realm of trenching technology.
