The simple hydraulic hookups, simplicity of operation and simple, unassuming appearance of the P80 rod pusher contrast with its complex physics—a 462-lb (210-kg) unit that can produce 80,000 lb (36800 kg) of thrust/pullback. You don't need to know how it works. You just need to know that it does.
Your Ditch Witch equipment is backed by a worldwide network of dealers you can count on for unmatched commitment to your success. From genuine Ditch Witch parts to factory-trained service to expert advice, your Ditch Witch dealer has it all for you.
P80 can bore with directional control to 500 feet (152 m) or more.
Three setup options: T-Bar for narrow trenches; backbrace for long-range boring in narrow pits; and trench box for maximum anchoring and shoring protection.
Boring head can be tracked and guided using Ditch Witch electronic beacon and receiver systems.
Variety of boring heads available, depending on soil conditions.
