Ditch Witch JT20

JT20 DIRECTIONAL DRILLS

With the Ditch Witch JT20 ® JT20 Horizontal Directional Drill, less is more. Much more. Its turbocharged 74-hp engine produces less noise for the operator—86 dBA, among the quietest in its class—while its slim yet durable profile allows you to take more jobs in more places.

FEATURES

• Auto-throttle feature saves fuel and reduces pollution by slowing the engine to idle after 15 seconds of inactivity; when you resume work, the auto-throttle engages.

• Industry-best cruise control system simplifies drilling and backreaming.

• Automated, intuitive carve mode reduces operator fatigue and is easy to set up and adjust; compatible with industry-leading TriHawk® HD housings and bits for superior efficiency and productivity in hard, compacted soils and soft rock.

• The compact JT20 has a high ratio of power to size, allowing you to install more utilities in tight, congested areas.

• Turbocharged, 74-hp (55- kW) Deutz® diesel engine is Tier-4 compliant, requiring no expensive after-treatment.

• Advanced cooling system uses five fewer gallons of fluid than competitive systems for exceptional efficiency and less environmental impact.

• Drilling fluid system pumps mud at 35 GPM; high fluid flows enable longer utility installations and better performance in sandy soils.

• Tethered ground drive controller allows you to maneuver the drilling unit to a position that provides better visibility and easier loading/ unloading.

• Exceptionally efficient Sauer H1 hydrostatic pumps control rotation and thrust; design enhancements include a larger displacement pump and simplified, two-speed hydraulic thrust circuit for increased reliability.

• Automated, intuitive carve mode reduces operator fatigue and is easy to set up and adjust; compatible with industry-leading TriHawk® HD housings and bits for superior efficiency and productivity in hard, compacted soils and soft rock.

• Large-capacity, automatic drill pipe lubrication system.

• Add-a-pipe feature places individual pipes into loading system without lifting pipe into the top of the pipe box.

• Coordinated makeup feature increases the life of drill pipe joints by automatically matching carriage speed with rotation during pipe makeup and breakout.

• Delivers 17,000 lb of thrust (75.6 kN) and 20,000 lb (89 kN) of pullback force for outstanding performance.

• Heavy-duty stakedown system allows you to push or pull with full machine thrust and remain secure in virtually any drilling condition.

• Dual independent rear stabilizers enhance stability on uneven or rough terrain.

WHEN YOU’RE MORE COMFORTABLE, YOU’RE MORE PRODUCTIVE.
