The king of the Ditch Witch mountain is the HT300, a rock-digging workhorse capable of trenching up to ten feet (3.1 m) deep and up to 36 inches (914 mm) wide in the most extreme jobsite conditions. The 300-hp (224 kW) HT300 is designed to deliver maximum trenching power even on rocky and/or uneven terrain, making it the ideal trencher for wind-farm construction, pipeline work, installing and repairing energy-distribution facilities, and other heavy-duty applications.
PERRY, Okla.— The Ditch Witch® organization announces the release of a 300-horsepower rock trencher: the heavy-duty HT300.
Capable of trenching up to ten feet (3.1 m) deep and 36 inches (914 mm) wide in the most extreme jobsite conditions, the steel-tracked HT300 features a sturdy undercarriage designed to withstand the rigors of rock-laden jobsites, and trencher stabilizers that automatically adjust to terrain changes to isolate vibration in rock and other harsh conditions.
- Exclusive flywheel gearbox delivers maximum power to the trenching attachment on demand while minimizing shock to the hydraulic system.
- Forged, heat-treated, high-alloy steel headshaft is guaranteed for life.
- Reversible conveyor effectively deposits spoils on either side of the trench.

Protecting the operator from excessive noise and vibration is a fully enclosed cab with climate control, a standard feature of the HT300. Inside the cab are easy-to-use controls designed for optimal productivity and reliability in harsh conditions. As soil conditions change, the HT300’s cruise-control system automatically adjusts the ground speed.
The HT300 features an exclusive flywheel gearbox that delivers maximum power to the trenching attachment on demand while minimizing shock to the hydraulic system. Another unique feature is a patented bit block digging system that allows the operator to customize the digging tooth pattern to best fit the application. The HT300 also features a conveyor that effectively deposits spoils on either side of the trench.
The HT300 is designed for the most challenging jobsite conditions, and the Ditch Witch organization guarantees the machine’s forged, heat-treated, high-alloy steel headshaft for life.
