OT; Ditch Witch Trencher

Well-known Member
Looking at 2 DW 2300 trenchers that look pretty good. Are parts available for them and their V4 Wisconsin engines? Also, what do they weigh?
Thanks, Richard
 
Parts Are plenty available for the V4's in the Used world. Sprayers and swathers are a couple that used those very motors, Also Davis Trenchers used them too. We had a Davis it was a good strong hard working trencher. The motor never gave us much trouble though it would crack a head every so often, It was never a problem a trip to the local tractor salvage yard always solved the problem. We never had any problems with it overheating which suprised me, even on one week when he had above 100 temps all week and we were digging a 11,000 foot long, 4 inch wide 4.5 feet deep in clay/gravel, went through a bunch of teeth though. Sorry all I know is the motor never ran that type of trencher but I can say Ditch Witch's are good strong machines.
