History of Ditch Witch Excavator’s

The history of Ditch Witch illustrates the entire evolution of utility paving technology from manual trenching to modern trenchless construction techniques.

The first product of Ditch Witch founder Ed Malzahn of Perry, Oklahoma was a trencher that solves the labor-intensive problem of laying pipes with a hand-held pick and shovel.

However, the trencher, already up for sale, had no name yet. Ed then turned to Lewis Brandenburg, an agency owner in Tulsa, for help.

That evening, various names were discussed, most often associated with representatives of the fauna living in the earth - chipmunks, moles. Before ending the meeting, Ed told Lewis that he wanted to include the word "ditcher" or "trencher" in the title.

By morning, the main contender was the Ditch Witch name. At the same time, the brand name was created - the silhouette of a witch riding a shovel against the background of a full moon. Such was the birth of the Dich Vic brand.

The creator of Ditch Witch says that many of the features that distinguish Ditch Witch from other companies came about by accident. The color of "Geronimo", Maltsan's first invention to evacuate oil rig workers in the event of a fire, was originally red. This color is associated with the reliability of mechanisms (which is why fire extinguishers are painted red). But the unprimed metal painted in red quickly loses its color. Ed decided to contact the lumber yard owner who had a decent supply of orange paint.

Before showing the first Ditch Witch, Maltsan began painting it. Yellow is considered a classic in painting construction equipment. But after Geronimo, orange paint remained in the spraying unit. Given the lack of time, the founder of Ditch Witch decided to make his first trencher orange.

The unusual name and vibrant color, along with the unique capabilities of the new trencher, have become the main features of the Ditch Witch brand.
