The RT115 heavy-duty ride-on trencher sports a turbocharged, 115-hp John Deere engine and a dependable hydrostatic transmission to keep it running strong all day long. The four-wheel-drive RT115’s rubber tires and optional four-wheel steering make this the ideal trenching equipment for both paved and off-road work.
