Description
Condition: UNKNOWN
Ditch Witch 3500 Trencher
 
Item listed and sold as is
 
The Ditch Witch 3500 is a reliable, ride-on trenching machine equipped with a Deutz diesel engine and hydrostatic drive. It is highly prized for utility installation and landscaping, featuring a rear trenching boom (often the H311 or H312) and a front backfill blade. 
 
Core Specifications
  • Engine: 3-cylinder Deutz diesel.
  • Digging Depth: Typically ranges from 65 to 74 inches, depending on the attachment model (e.g., H311 or H312).
  • Trench Width: Adjustable between 4 to 6 inches, though wider baskets up to 12 inches are common.
  • Attachments: Often paired with the A222 backhoe and a manual crumber for clearing loose dirt
Performance & Operation
  • Trenching Speed: Averages around 100 feet per hour, though this will vary drastically depending on the soil conditions (e.g., faster in loose dirt, slower if you encounter rocks or heavy roots)
  • Operation Tips: Trenching speed relies heavily on the chain teeth; always ensure your teeth are sharp or replaced with appropriate dirt/rock teeth for your specific terrain
  • Safety: Like all heavy machinery, proper safety switches (like the neutral-start safety switch) must be well-adjusted to ensure safe operation
