    Variable blade pitch allows operator to change the angle of the leading edge of the blade to be more or less aggressive, to match soil conditions.

    Accepts standard Ditch Witch vibratory plow blades, eliminating the need to purchase new blades.

    Optional sod cutter and skid shoes provide greater versatility and minimize restoration.

    Optional reel carrier provides efficient installation of cable.

    Power unit's exclusive traction-assist feature provides extra drawbar on demand, enabling the operator to push more, pull more, and traverse soft ground with minimal tire slippage.

    11-gallon (41.6 L) fuel tank enables the operator to work all day without having to refuel; the tank's molded-in sight glass allows the operator to keep an eye on fuel consumption.

    Standard cruise control, which locks in operating speeds, reduces operator fatigue and increases productivity.
