    Ditch Witch is gearing up for the 2018 GIE+EXPO (The Green Industry & Equipment Expo), in Louisville, Kentucky between Oct. 17 and 18. Attendees of the show will get hands-on with the company’s latest mini skid steers, including the SK600, SK800, SK1050, and SK1550.

    New Skid On The Block

    Although the Ditch Witch outdoor booth (number 7634D) will have a number of machines available to see firsthand, the new SK1550 is one of the main attractions. This machine is the company’s most powerful skid steer and was recently designated as one of Equipment Today’s Top 50 New Products of 2018. Those who work in the landscaping, golf course maintenance, general contracting, and green industries will find something worth checking out at the Ditch Witch booth.

    Highlights of the newest skid steers from Ditch Witch include ample auxiliary power, support for numerous attachments, faster cycle times, improved durability, and a smoother, more ergonomic experience for the operator. Ditch Witch is showing these machines as a way to introduce industry professionals to some of the company’s most capable equipment. According to Chris Thompson, Ditch Witch product manager for compact equipment, “We understand it’s a big decision and large investment to add new equipment to a fleet, so we want to do everything we can to help ease the decision process.”

    See The Demo, Get A Discount

    Ditch Witch is offering those who purchase an SK skid steer a $2,000 credit toward the purchase of any SK attachment, and all they have to do is attend one of the product presentations happening at the show on Thursday and Friday. The company also has an indoor booth (number 1096) at the show where attendees can test their putting skills and win prizes.
