There have been several new trenching products introduced to the industry over the past several months and we thought we'd get some input from leading manufacturers about the advancements to their product lines and what makes their equipment stand out.

We spoke to personnel at Barreto Manufacturing, Vermeer Manufacturing Co. and The Charles Machine Works Inc., makers of Ditch Witch products. Here's what they had to say:

JL: Have you introduced any new trenchers or related products this year?
Greg Barreto, Barreto Mfg.: We introduced our 1324 ST zero-turning radius, all-hydraulic, walk-behind, steerable trencher.

John Kuyers, Vermeer Mfg. Co.: Vermeer has introduced two models recently: the RTX450 with dual rubber tracks and the RTX1250, a ride-on tractor with the option of tires or quad rubber tracks.
