New & Improved New RT-120 Quad Utility Tractor from Ditch Witch Many attachments multiply its underground construction functions. The new RT120 Quad utility tractor from Ditch Witch features a heavy-duty frame and traction for long installations of large-diameter pipe on the most jobsites. Built around a heavy-duty undercarriage designed to withstand harsh ground conditions, the Ditch Witch RT120 Quad has a frame engineered to tilt, enabling the machine to dig a vertical trench on uneven ground. Stability and traction are provided through the Quad Track System with each track frame weighing 1,500 pounds, including track. The feature gives the RT120 Quad a lower center of gravity for increased stability and drawbar, while the chevron-pattern tracks provide maximum traction in wet conditions and on slopes. The machine also features a ground clearance of 15.5 inches allowing the Four New XT Mobile Shear Models Added to Genesis Attachments Line Genesis Attachments added its new GXT 445 and GXT 775 straight and rotator models to a line that was introduced earlier this year, including the GXT 555 and GXT 665 models. The GTX is shorter in length and height and lighter in weight and features a center of gravity that is closer to the excavator. This enables the rotating models to mount on 46,000- to 78,000pound excavators that previously were capable of only carrying smaller, less powerful shears. Used for scrap processing, for demolition work and other applications, because the units fit smaller carriers, initial acquisition and hourly energy consumption costs can be reduced, according to Genesis. The GXT also features an apex, where most cutting is done, that is located closer to the back of the jaws. Genesis says this feature improves material gathering and increases cutting performance and efficiency while reducing maintenance.

Powered by a Deutz diesel engine, the four-wheel drive RT-120 is equipped with a three-speed, shift-on-the fly transmission so the operator can quickly adjust to changing ground conditions. Standard rear steering gives the RT120 Quad a tight turn radius allowing better maneuverability on the jobsite. Several attachments are available on the RT-120 Quad utility tractor for use in a range of underground construction tasks. These include a combination trencher/plow attachment, an individual plow, a backhoe, a reel carrier, two types of saw, and two types of trencher attachments.
