410SXWALK-BEHIND VIBRATORY PLOW

The Ditch Witch 410sx is the most outstanding articulated-steer vibratory drop plow in its horsepower class. With dozens of innovative features, including a plow vibrator with automatic blade centering, the 410sx pedestrian vibratory plow and trenching machine quickly and efficiently installs communication lines, natural gas and water services, or a complete underground sprinkler system without digging a trench. Need a trench? The 410sx can do that, too.

REQUEST MORE INFO

Easily accessible, easy-to-understand, color-coded controls; one lever controls ground speed, direction and steering.
When attachment or ground drive is engaged, operator-presence system stops the engine if operator releases the control.
Centerline digging attachment features an auger for fast spoils removal.
Optional front-mounted trencher attachment works as hard as many dedicated trenchers.

Vibratory plow trolley automatically centers itself when the plow blade is raised from the ground while plowing or trenching; a manual lock secures the trolley during transport.
Powerful, liquid-cooled diesel engine is enclosed for quiet operation, and vibration-isolated to reduce operator fatigue.
Direct hydrostatic ground, plow and trencher drives require no chain adjustments.
Pin joint bushings require no lubrication.

What to look for in digging system components.

Keeping Your Fleet's Hydraulic Systems Running Properly
If your machine's hydraulic system isn't working, neither are you. Here are some common causes of hydraulic system breakdown and steps you can take to avoid them.

FTTH Growth Stays on Track as Connections Rise to
The upgrading of North America's last mile networks with end-to-end fiber is continuing at a robust pace, with fiber to the home (FTTH) arriving at more than 1.6 million households over the past year, bringing the total number of FTTH subscribers to 3.76 million, according to a study released today by the Fiber-to-the-Home Council.

Enhanced Cost Solutions For Buried Fiber Installation
Replacing our nation's aging copper communications infrastructure is a monumental task. This is one thing all of the experts agree upon. The disagreements begin when the discussion turns to the most efficient and cost-effective way to tackle the challenge.

Dig Deeper Into Your Digging Systems
A properly maintained digging system is essential to trencher performance.

Trencher Maintenance
Proper maintenance is essential to keep trencher units operating efficiently. Performing routine maintenance and repairing minor problems as soon as they are identified reduce the chance of breakdowns in the field, and an effective maintenance program extends equipment life and protects the value of equipment.

Trencher Safety
Today, as it has always been, safety is a personal choice that each person must choose. We make that personal choice every day, even as we drive to work, when we choose whether or not to obey speed limits. Proper operating procedures, like speed limits, are put into place to protect not only the operator, but everyone that may be around from co-workers to bystanders.

Winterizing Article
Take the time to winterize your equipment this year. A few minutes spent could save you time and money in the months to come. The amount of winter care your equipment needs depends both on the climate and how it is used.

Selecting The Right Trencher
Trenchless procedures are best suited for jobs where surface improvements, existing underground utilities, and restoration costs make excavation impractical or impossible. But because many utility construction projects continue to be in open country where these factors are not issues, trenching often is the most efficient and cost-effective method of installing underground cable and pipe.
