What is a ditch witch?

A Ditch Witch is a brand of trencher, a machine used for digging trenches in the ground. It was first developed in 1949 by Ed Malzahn, and the name "Ditch Witch" has become a generic term for trenchers. The machine is typically used for laying underground utility lines, irrigation systems, and drainage systems. The Ditch Witch has a range of models with different sizes and power sources, including diesel, gasoline, and electric. Some models are compact enough to navigate through narrow spaces, while others are designed for heavy-duty trenching projects. The Ditch Witch has become an industry standard and is widely used in construction and utility companies around the world.
