The RTX250 features a 25-hp (18.6-kW) electronic fuel-injected (EFI) engine that starts reliably in a wide variety of temperatures and altitudes.
Enhanced mobility
Rubber tracks offer outstanding traction in soft, rocky or muddy conditions with minimal ground disturbance.
The VZ steering system eliminates the need for additional levers, helping to reduce operator training time.
Even when facing varied terrain and unfavorable ground conditions, the RTX250’s high-mount track design offers outstanding traction and minimizes ground disturbance.
Practical versatility
Engine offers excellent startability in a wide variety of temperatures and altitudes, while issues normally associated with conventional carbureted engines — such as flooding — are eliminated.
The slender profile, with a 35 in (88.9 cm) width, allows the unit to move through narrow yard gates.
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.
