This Ditch Witch MM5 is a directional drill — sometimes referred to as a horizontal directional drill or HDD — a type of trenchless drilling machine used to bore underground paths for utilities, pipelines, conduit, and similar installations without the need for open excavation. Ditch Witch is a well-established American manufacturer with a long history of producing underground construction equipment, including directional drills, trenchers, and vacuum excavation systems, serving contractors in the utility, telecommunications, and pipeline industries.
This used example, located in California and dating from 1999, is offered as a partial unit. According to the seller's notes, what is included is the MM5 300-gallon mix tank and its mounting bracket only. The mix tank is the component used to prepare and circulate drilling fluid — commonly a bentonite-based slurry — which lubricates the drill string, stabilises the borehole, and carries cuttings back to the surface during the drilling process.
Buyers should note that this listing does not represent a complete directional drill. Only the 300-gallon mix tank and bracket are included, making this item best suited to operators who already own a compatible Ditch Witch MM5 system and require a replacement or additional fluid mixing assembly.
