Maintenance Tips

Regularly Inspect and Replace Filters: Ditch Witch equipment relies on clean fluids to operate efficiently. Check air, fuel, and hydraulic filters regularly, replacing them according to the manufacturer's recommended service intervals (typically every 250-500 hours). Using genuine Ditch Witch filters ensures optimal performance and protects critical components.
Use Recommended Fluids: Always use the hydraulic fluid, engine oil, and coolant specified in your Ditch Witch operator's manual. Using the correct fluids ensures proper lubrication, cooling, and protection against corrosion. Consider a fluid analysis program to monitor fluid condition and identify potential problems early.
Grease Regularly: Ditch Witch equipment has numerous grease points that require regular lubrication. Follow the lubrication schedule in your operator's manual, typically greasing these points every 8-10 hours of operation. Use a high-quality grease that is compatible with the equipment's operating conditions.
Inspect Hoses and Fittings: Regularly inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks, cracks, or wear. Replace damaged hoses immediately to prevent hydraulic system failures. Pay close attention to hoses near high-heat areas.
Seasonal Maintenance: Before the start of each season, perform a thorough inspection of your Ditch Witch equipment. Check belts, hoses, tires, and fluid levels. Perform necessary repairs and adjustments to ensure that the equipment is ready for the demands of the upcoming season. Consider a professional inspection for more complex systems.
