Our exclusive CX Track design delivers better traction and maneuverability in a more compact design for tighter jobsites. Responsive, easy-to-use touch controls provide smoother operation. And superior serviceability—a simple, open design for easy access and no daily grease points to worry about—means less maintenance time to keep your C24X rental-ready. Get proven Ditch Witch reliability in the latest, patented CX track design: only with the C24X.
A reliable 24-hp (17.9-kW) Honda® engine keeps the C24X performing for rental income you can count on, year after year.
Up to 36” (914.4 mm) digging depth for efficient installation of pipe and cable.
Newly designed hydraulic system eliminates vertical shafts and belts, resulting in a simple, reliable unit with no linkages to adjust.

Exclusive, patented CX Track design puts more track on the ground for better traction while increasing stability for better production.
The shorter left track on the CX Track design allows for a more compact piece of equipment than competitive designs, offering more maneuverability in tighter spaces.

Simple, open design allows for quick, easy service access.

Redesigned easy-touch controls are smoother and lighter for less operator fatigue and increased machine responsiveness.
Increased visibility of the workstation improves operator productivity.
