2024 Brandt Government Vacuum Excavators HX50

Featuring superior power and versatility, the Ditch Witch HX50 is equipped with a 49-hp Kubota® diesel engine to support all machine functions – from potholing and small-slot trenching applications to HDD fluid and jobsite debris cleanup. The machine offers outstanding suction and water pressure and features minimal noise disturbance. Plus, it incorporates customer-driven enhancements to meet the unique needs of operators using the machine daily.

Features may include:

• The HX50 is powered by a 49-hp (36.5-kW) Kubota diesel engine to support all machine functions from potholing to cleanup of a variety of soils, HDD fluids and jobsite debris.

• The HX50 provides 20 percent more fuel capacity than its predecessor for improved productivity and fewer refueling stops during the workday.

• New with the HX vacuum excavation line, a patent-pending make/break seal design optimizes air flow for increased efficiency, and simplified plumbing.

• An auto-clutching feature disengages the water pump when water is not in use, allowing full system power to the blower for improved productivity.

• A now standard reverse-flow feature allows quick and easy spoil offloads for improved productivity.

• A standard, cyclonic three-stage filtration system cleans the air before it reaches critical components. It is comprised of the debris tank, cyclonic filter, and 0.5-micron washable vacuum filter - offering the industry’s best filtration for maximum protection of key components.

• Featuring outstanding suction, the HX50 is equipped with an efficient 1,005-cfm (28.5-m3/min) blower.

• The HX50 is designed for a wide range of applications, including potholing, storm-drain cleanout, HDD site cleanup, water-leak repair, valve-box and utility-vault cleanout, commercial and residential debris cleanup, and landscaping and posthole digging.

• The HX50 is equipped with an 800-gal (3028-L) debris tank to meet the requirements of any size soft excavation or cleanup job.

• 800-gallon configurations include:

• A standard configuration equipped with a 200-gal freshwater tank and 20K GVWR trailer.

• A heavy configuration equipped with a 400-gal freshwater tank and a 24K GVWR trailer.

• A power boom, available on both the 16K and 24K GVWR trailer packages, features an advanced design that reduces manual labor for the operator. The boom is hydraulically powered with a 330-degree rotation and includes a self-locking gear, acting as a boom brake, to restrain motion of the boom and maintain its desired position.

• The machine can easily be configured to accommodate operator controls on either the left or the right side to meet each contactor’s individual needs.
