Innovative Iron Awards 2016: Ditch Witch’s CX-Series Trenchers
The Coolest and Most Creative Compact Equipment of 2016
The bad news: Future growth in construction and landscaping will require increased skills and productivity to stay competitive. The good news: Manufacturers from Cat to Yanmar are creating cutting-edge equipment to help machine owners reach that ever-increasing goal for more efficiency. With a serious shortage of skilled workers, contractors are specifically searching for the most innovative machinery (the toughest skid steers, most productive excavators, safest wheel loaders, most versatile tractors) to help offset workforce woes and increase production and performance. Well, search no more. To expedite the process, we just went ahead and gathered together that list for you, highlighting the most inventive off-highway equipment, diesel engines, hand tools and OEM services and systems released to the market in 2016. We were challenged with picking the best of the best, but that just makes the honor of inclusion that much more impressive.
Ditch Witch’s CX-Series Trenchers Are Equipped with the CX Track System
Renting a regular old trencher just isn’t enough anymore. Customers expect greater performance, reliability and serviceability, and Ditch Witch has already engineered those attributes into its CX-Series trenchers, equipped with the new patent-pending CX Track system. The design includes a shorter left track, and longer right track, allowing better traction and a shorter overall length for superior maneuverability in tight spaces. The C-Series trenchers feature an exclusive, offset rear-tire design that delivers balanced traction and stability for increased production. The new compact design allows for greater visibility of the workstation. Also, re-designed, ergonomic controls increase machine responsiveness.
