2025 Ditch Witch® Fluid Management FM5X 500 Gallon
MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER.With new design features, improved drilling fluid flow, increased durability and faster mixing cycle and yield times, the FM5X will help keep costs down and productivity up.
Features may include:
POWER- The FM5X is powered by a 5-hp Honda engine. The unit supports JT10 and some JT20 applications.
- A high-performance Flomax® pump delivers 160-gpm (606-L/min) of flow, and operates up to 10 percent more efficiently than previous models – all without additional horsepower. Flexible pump mounting offers a variety of setup configurations to meet the needs of small-diameter HDD jobs. A narrow-tank design allows the unit to easily be positioned side-by-side with a drill unit on a trailer for easy jobsite transportation and reduced jobsite costs.
- A new wet hopper design increases the venturi inlet from 1.25- to 2-inches - a 60 percent larger opening for material flow and superior fluid mixing. And, steep sides incorporated into the design help speed mixing cycles. Designed with a powder-coated finish, the unit is more durable, economical and resistant to chips, rusting or fading. An updated, internal venturi design optimizes fluid velocity, increasing overall system productivity.
- Your Ditch Witch equipment is backed by a worldwide network of dealers you can count on for unmatched commitment to your success. From genuine Ditch Witch parts to factory-trained service to expert advice, your Ditch Witch dealer has it all for you.
