Built To Last

Feature 01
23.2 HP Yanmar® 3TNV80FT turbocharged 3-cylinder diesel — EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V, with electric start and 750 cold-crank amps. Fires up dependably in any weather.

Feature 02
Ride standing at the rear for fast mount and dismount — step on and off in seconds for loading, grading and tight maneuvering.

Feature 03
Standard mini skid-steer mounting runs buckets, augers, trenchers, tillers, grapples and forks — tooling you may already own typically bolts right on.

Feature 04
A 12 gpm auxiliary circuit at 3,000 psi drives powered attachments at full output — run augers, trenchers and tillers with real muscle.

Feature 05
The SK1000 directs 12 HP to the attachment and 11.2 HP to the ground drive — the ideal balance of attachment power and travel speed on any jobsite.

Feature 06
A completely open roller track design sheds mud instead of packing it in — easier cleanup, simpler maintenance and just 4.1 psi of ground pressure on turf.

Feature 07
Rated operating capacity of 1,015 lb — 35% of its 2,882 lb tipping capacity. Real material-moving muscle for a machine this compact.

Feature 08
The Yanmar turbo diesel meets EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V standards for cleaner operation on enclosed, residential and noise-sensitive jobsites.

Feature 09
Engineered to the same durability standards behind Ditch Witch underground construction equipment — compact never meant fragile.
Technical Specs







The SK1000 moves serious material all day without breaking a sweat. The extra torque shows the second you load the bucket, and it starts on the first turn every time.

Loaded it out to a grading job that used to need a full-size machine. The stand-on platform makes getting on and off fast — saved me a full day.

Runs the same auger and bucket I already owned — no adapters needed. Way better than renting a mini every weekend for my landscaping crew.

The Yanmar turbo diesel surprised me — smooth, quiet and strong for the size. Turn the key and go. Already put 30+ hours on it with zero issues.

Bought it for residential grading and drainage. Handles soft turf and hard-packed clay equally well. The open roller tracks barely leave a mark.

Lifts pallets my old machine could not touch — the 1,015 lb operating capacity is the real deal. Great value for a genuine Ditch Witch machine.
