The Ditch Witch FXT65 truck vacuum excavator is an exceptionally versatile machine with the power to perform a wide variety of tasks, especially larger jobs in difficult-to-access locations. With 1,215 cfm (34.4 m3/min) of suction power and a high-pressure water system with a 5.5 gpm (21-l/min), 3,000-psi (207-bar) water pump, the FXT65 has more than enough power and suction for soft excavation tasks such as potholing or large cleanup jobs. The FXT65 is available on a Class 6 or 7 single-axle of Class 8 tandem-axle truck. 

Benefits

Power: • Equipped with a 74-hp (55-kW) Deutz® diesel engine, the FXT65 offers 1,215 cfm (34.4 m3/min) of suction power and a high-pressure water system with a 5.5-gpm (21-l/min), 3,000-psi (207-bar) water pump. Productivity: • Easy access to power pack for convenient servicing. • Optional heater keeps water system from freezing in inclement weather and increases production in tight soils. • Optional reverse-flow feature enables quick and easy offloading of spoils. Rugged Design: • Designed specifically for mounting on truck frame rails, allowing system components to flex independently of truck, for maximum structural integrity. • Designed for minimal overall package height, resulting in a lower center of gravity and better handling during transport. • Saddle-style tanks provide optimal weight distribution to keep payload over rear axle. • Reusable, 0.5-micron vacuum filter and a blower relief valve air filter provide the industry's best filtration; optional cyclonic filter cleans the air before it reaches the filter, minimizing maintenance. Versatility: • Mounts to single-axle truck of your choice, new or used, so you can control the level of initial investment and customize with toolboxes and support equipment; complies with all truck manufacturers’ requirements. Ease of use: • Easily accessible controls and service points; curbside controls can be configured for left- or right-hand traffic, for greater safety and convenience. • Remote-fill water tank allows for easy filling and prevents siphoning back into the water supply. • Integrated tool rack on door and underbody hose storage help simplify operation. • Ladders provide easy access to truck bed and can be stowed when not in use. • Optional hydraulic boom extends to 14 ft (4.3 m); saves labor, time and reduces operator fatigue. Operator Comfort: • At 82 dBA, the FXT65 is the quietest in its horsepower class; fully enclosed, insulated and lockable power pack protects major components from weather and vandalism while leading the industry in noise reduction.
