The Ditch Witch organization, the industry leader in the design and manufacture of underground construction equipment, announces the release of a new fluid mixing system, the Ditch Witch FM25.

The new FM25 is a reliable, low-maintenance system for mixing the drilling fluid in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) operations. The FM25's design simplicity and multiple configuration options accommodate a variety of setups and make transport easy, and its 25-hp (18.7 kW) Kubota diesel engine provides sufficient power to support even the largest Ditch Witch HDD systems.

The FM25's Venturi wet hopper is designed with steeper sides to allow fast, thorough fluid mixing. Operators have a choice of one or two hoppers, 500-gallon (1893 L) or 1,000-gallon (3785 L) tanks, and a fuel fill on both sides, allowing flexible setup configurations on a trailer or truck. Optional accessories, including an anti-siphon tank fill and an umbrella kit, enhance the FM25's versatility.

The company is a one-stop source for trenchers, vibratory plows, pneumatic piercing tools, backhoes, electronic guidance and locating tools, horizontal directional drilling systems, drill pipe, downhole tools, vacuum excavation systems, excavator-tool carriers, mini skid steers, and Zahn series of trenchers.
