Ditch Witch’s trailer-mounted FX65 and truck-mounted FXT65 vacuum excavators feature a 74-hp Deutz Tier 4 diesel engine and 1,215 cfm. They are designed to optimize airflow, with 20% more airflow for higher productivity compared with previous models, according to the company.

With high suction and water pressure, the vacuum excavators can handle sizeable cleanup jobs, larger excavations, and potholing. In addition, an auxiliary hydraulic power system enables a variety of tools from impact wrenches to jackhammers.

Tank options for the trailer-mounted FX65 include 500-, 800- or 1,200-gallon vacuum tanks and 200-, 300- or 500-gallon water tanks. Tank options for the FXT65 truck vacuum include 500- or 800-gallon vacuum tanks and 200- or 400-gallon water tanks. The truck-mounted FXT65 incresases mobility and maneuverability on any job site. 

These units feature quiet operation at 82 dBA, and a larger silencer further reduces noise. In addition, the machines offer several optional features — such as wireless boom, water heater, and reverse flow — to meet the needs of a customers’ ever-changing job site.
