2013 Ditch Witch RT80

2013 Ditch Witch RT80 with under 600 hours, in excellent condition. This versatile machine is built for serious trenching and excavation, featuring the H813 trencher (6" wide, up to 7' deep) and the A523 backhoe with a 12" bucket. A front counterweight is included for added stability when the backhoe is removed.

Powered by a robust 74.5 HP turbocharged Deutz T3 Flex diesel engine, this unit handles heavy-duty trenching and vibratory plowing with ease. The backhoe pedestal seat offers precise control, including throttle, low-speed forward/reverse, and full backfill blade articulation (up/down, tilt, and yaw).

Exceptionally maintained, with all service completed by Ditch Witch, most recently in January 2025. Service records and the operator’s manual are included. This RT80 is a true workhorse—capable of cutting through deep roots effortlessly and outperforming even the largest rental trenchers.
