Ditch With unveils MT26 microtrencher The Microtrenching system helps operators boost productivity and reduce costs on the job. To help power and fiber-optic cable contractors reliably and efficiently use microtrenching for cable installation, Ditch Witch has introduced the MT26 microtrencher. The attachment is part of a complete microtrenching system, along with the Ditch Witch RT80 ride-on trencher and HX75 vacuum excavator. With the MT26, operators can create a clean, deep, narrow trench in one pass, and install cable deep enough to meet most requirements with minimal disruption to the surrounding infrastructure. Designed with a standard hydraulic plunge to provide variable depth control, the MT26 can cut a clean trench from 1.5 inches up to 3 inches (76.2 mm) wide and down to 26 inches (660.4 mm) deep. Reaching depths of up to 26 inches allows contractors to install a typical 2-inch fiber or power cable line with the required 2-feet of ground cover all at the same time.
