Simple design and multiple configuration options accommodate a variety of setups and make transport easy.
25-hp (18.7-kW) Kubota® diesel engine provides the power to support even the largest Ditch Witch directional drilling systems.
Venturi wet hopper has steeper sides that allow fast, thorough fluid mixing.
Choice of one or two hoppers, either a 500-gallon (1893-L) or 1,000-gallon (3785-L) tank, and a fuel fill on both sides, allows flexible setup configurations on a trailer or truck.
Optional accessories, including an anti-siphon tank fill and an umbrella kit, enhance the FM25’s versatility.
