    Operator Comfort

    Designed specifically with the hardworking operator in mind, the SK1050 is equipped with a best-in-class, 332-in2 (843-cm2) operator platform for outstanding comfort and productivity during long hours on the job.

    A spring-supported platform is integrated directly into the machine for enhanced durability and comfortability on the job.

    Ergonomic operator's station comes standard with dual-lever ground drive controls and an optional joystick, allowing the operator to control each track independently for improved maintenance and mobility on difficult jobsite conditions.

    Incorporating customer feedback, the machine features a repositioned muffler now on the side, allowing exhaust to escape without affecting operator comfort.

    An LCD display with programming improvements provides direct visibility into engine diagnostics.

    An easy-to-use auxiliary-control foot pedal allows operators to maintain hydraulic flow to the attachment while freeing their hands to control depth and ground speed.

    Built for heavy-duty operation, the robust design of the lift arms, rollers and undercarriage, improves overall machine longevity and ROI.

    A high-drive track system includes bolt-on, interchangeable rollers—a Ditch Witch exclusive—for longer lasting performance.

    Easy access to the machine undercarriage helps keep the machine in proper worker order.

    With no daily maintenance points and no grease zerks, ease of maintenance is improved and total cost of ownership (TCO) reduced.

    Low-maintenance gauge track-tensioning system features a grease cylinder for easy adjustment and track removal, improving track life and reducing downtime.

    A standard hydraulic brake improves operator engagement and disengagement.

    Superior Power

    Equipped with a 37-hp Tier 4 Yanmar® diesel engine, the SK1050 directs 30 hp to the attachment, giving operators the power to tackle an assortment of challenging tasks.

    The SK1050’s attachment horsepower, combined with 13.9 gpm auxiliary flow and 3,625 psi (250 bar), results in quicker jobsite cycle times, making your crews more efficient.

    Standard auto-throttle reduces engine throttle when stepping off the platform for greater fuel efficiency.

    The machine is capable of 4.7-mph (7.6-km/h) ground drive speed both forward and in reverse, improving jobsite cycle times and decreasing overall labor costs.

  • Greater Productivity

    Best-in-class, 83-inch (2.1-m) hinge-pin height enables more flexible and efficient loading and unloading at a wide range of dump heights and improved operating capacity ensures the machine can withstand maximum weight at maximum height.

    1,062-lb (482-kg) rated operating capacity with exceptional stability allows operators to effectively maneuver jobsites while carrying heavier loads.

    At 3,625 psi (250 bar), the SK1050 provides more hydraulic pressure to the attachment than comparable industry models, also leading to increased cycle times—saving time and money.

    When enabled, standard auto-throttle reduces engine RPM after periods of sustained inactivity for better fuel economy.
