It will not be much of a problem for you to make a
straight trench with a Ditch Witch, even if you are a beginner. When
trying to get the Ditch Witch where you want it, leave one of the wheels
freewheeling so you can pivot it more easily. However, once it comes
time for trenching make sure that you lock the drive wheels.
The maximum depth varies with different models of
Ditch Witches so check with your retail center for the specifications on
the model that you are renting. The tool works as a giant chainsaw on
wheels; it moves is reverse towards the user so be careful and watchful
when operating.
Always remember to check where the underground lines
are before digging to prevent any mishaps once you have already started!
