Vacuum Excavators

Ditch Witch HX50 Hydro Vacuum Excavator

The HX50 is a diesel-powered hydro vacuum excavator with 1,005 cfm of airflow and up to 16 in Hg of vacuum. A 49 hp Kubota engine drives suction, pressure-water excavation and material-handling functions for utility potholing, slot trenching and cleanup. Its 5.3 gpm water system reaches 3,000 psi. The 500-gallon trailer reference has 200 gallons of water storage, while larger debris-tank configurations have their own weights and trailer ratings.
