What is a trencher good for?
A trencher cuts a narrow, even channel for irrigation, drainage and utility lines far faster than digging by hand.
- Irrigation and sprinkler lines
- Drainage lines and french drains
- Electrical, water and cable runs
- Wide or deep excavation: a mini excavator
- Post holes: an auger, $60 per day
Walk-behind trenchers work well for most residential jobs and cost less, while ride-on trenchers handle longer runs, harder soil, and larger commercial projects more efficiently. Choose based on your project size, soil conditions, and trench length.

What size trailer do I need for the Ditch Witch RT45?
The Ditch Witch RT45 weighs 5,375 lb. That is more than a tandem-axle utility trailer in the 7,000 lb GVWR class carries (5,065 to 5,350 lb), so it needs a heavier equipment trailer with a payload rating above 5,375 lb. Your tow vehicle has to be rated for the machine and the trailer together, so well over 5,375 lb.
Trailer capacities are the typical range for that class of trailer; go by the rating plate on the one you use.
Will the Ditch Witch RT45 fit through a gate?
The Ditch Witch RT45 is 64 in (5 ft 4 in) wide. It needs a gate or opening wider than that.
What size trencher do I need for my project?
Trencher size depends on your trench depth and width needs: handheld models work for shallow landscape work, while walk-behind and ride-on trenchers handle deeper utility cuts up to 4 feet. Match the machine to your project scope to avoid overpaying for unnecessary capacity or underpowering the job.

Key hazards include cave-ins, kickback, and contact with buried lines—all preventable through pre-operation inspections and adherence to established safe work practices.
