Precise steering and performance for jobsite variety
Keep your operators top-of mind with our enhanced operator presence system
Features may include:
Effortless steering
Steers effortlessly with the VZ steering system that requires minimal effort to the handlebars.
Compact Design
Elimination of the tail wheel on the track unit provides trenching depth control in uneven ground conditions and convenience to move through tight spaces.
Fits into narrow areas with a footprint that measures only 35 in (89 cm) wide.
Powerful performance
The RTX130 is equipped with a 13-hp (9.7-kW) Honda engine for optimal power on your jobsite.
Smart safety
Promotes on-the-job safety with an operator presence system that disengages the trencher and ground drives if the operator leaves the controls, in addition to a trenching cleat that restricts backward motion.
