  • Walk-beside, pivoting hand controls for precise handling
  • Customizable for your job

Features may include:

Hands-on control
  • The PTX42 plow/trencher offers walk-beside hand controls that pivot from side to side of the machine for convenient operation and to maneuver around potential obstacles or congested spaces on a jobsite.
Attachments for the job
  • The PTX42 has a variety of versatile attachment options, including a backhoe, trencher, plow, Porta Bore and two reel carriers.
Set your speed
  • The electronic control allows for convenient setting of the creep speed to help optimize performance on longer distance installations, allowing productivity while maximizing operator comfort, whether trenching or plowing.
Stay on track
  • For varying ground conditions, choose from tires or tracks - the PTX42 offers a 23 in (58.4 cm) foam-filled tire option, while the slightly larger 26 in (66 cm) air-filled tires can help with traction.
  • Perform routine maintenance, and service the machine with convenient access to service points without the removal of hood shielding.
  • A 23 in (58.4 cm) dual air-filled tire option offers stability and lower ground pressure, and a track option is well-suited for uneven terrain.
