Ditch Witch XT855 excavater-tool carrier


XT855 excavator-tool carrier -- a compact, multi-function machine that features an excavator with a 260-degree swing plus a tool carrier that can drive as many as 70 compact utility attachments.

The XT855 is equipped with a powerful engine (net 30 hp/22.4 kW) and directs up to 18 hp (13.4 kW) to the tool carrier end, so attachments are more productive. The XT855 has a lift capacity of up to 1080 lb (490 kg) when equipped with optional extension legs, which provide leveling support in difficult digging conditions such as muddy and uneven terrain.

The excavator end of the XT855 has a 260-degree operating radius, enabling the machine to offset dig and deposit spoils anywhere within the excavator's swing arc. With the XT855 the operator can dig against a footing, wall or fence and dig a number of trenches without having to move the machine. Zero-radius turning helps the XT855 maneuver in tight spots, and getting to those tight spots is made easier by the machine's 50-inch (1.3 m) width.
