I am making an informational placard for the Cleveland Trencher that you donated to the Camp Pendleton Mechanized Museum. I would like to attribute the donation to you. If you are agreeable, could you please email me your name and city/State where you reside. Additionally, if you can tell me any of the history that you know about the trencher that would also be appreciated. Please reply to jerryblandford@hotmail.com.

You are correct. It is a Ditch Witch 2300.

You are correct. It is a Ditch Witch 2300.

None of the trenchers we have are green, all Ditch Witch red. V-30 (mine), 2300 (brother's), 5510 (brother's) and he also has a 6510.

This was awesome to go through this old thread about trenchers and the Georgia crew gettin' it done.
