Powered by a 72hp Yanmar® Tier 4 Stage V Compliant diesel engine, and built with a narrow footprint of 73-inches wide, the RT70 rubber-tire trencher can handle heavy-duty jobs and still easily maneuver around tight jobsites, corners and cul-de-sacs with ease. This makes it the perfect go-to trencher to take on even the toughest jobs. It is also the only ride-on trencher available with crab and coordinated steering modes, which allows operators to turn the machine with a steering wheel instead of using two separate levers. This makes it easier to use and frees them up to focus on other parts of the job.

  • PRODUCTIVITY

    Crab and coordinated steering modes working easier, letting operators turn with a steering wheel-versus two separate levers. A push-button return to center automatically returns the rear axle to center while and advanced cruise-control system senses engine load and automatically adjusts the ground drive speed to changing soil conditions for superior traction and maneuverability.

  • POWER

    The RT70 features a 72-hp (53.7-kW) Yanmar® Tier 4 Stage V-Compliant diesel engine, delivering max power and productivity. Exclusive 3-speed shift-on-the-fly lets operators work seamlessly, without stopping to shift- like on competitive units.

  • OPERATOR'S STATION

    Featuring an open design, the operator's station features a 120-degree swivel seat, more leg room, and enhanced visibility. A 4.3-inch color LCD engine display provides all engine information and diagnostics, increasing ease-of-operation.

  • INNOVATIVE DESIGN

    A modular, heavy track-frame design provides a low center of gravity for increased stability, production, and drawbar. The design lets you easily interchange between tires and tracks, saving time and extra labor. Plus, a patented centrifugal cooling system pulls all exhaust away from the operator's station, keeping you more comfortable during long work hours.
