BIGGER THINKING BROUGHT DOWN TO SIZE
The evolution of HDD continues with the Ditch Witch® JT24 directional drill, offering the biggest bang for your buck—both in power and stability.
POWER
Equipped with a 101-gross hp, Tier 4 Cummins diesel engine, the JT24 provides unbeatable power. The JT24 utilizes dual thrust motors to provide 24,000 lbs. of thrust and pullback, while still maintaining a small footprint.
PRODUCTIVITY
The machine is equipped with a maximum carriage speed of 216 fpm, which is five percent faster than competitive units. This feature decreases cycle times and increases uptime and jobsite productivity, so you can get more done.
ADVANCED WIRELESS GROUND DRIVE AND SETUP CONTROL
The JT24 offers an advanced wireless control, allowing you to set up the drill away from the operator’s station and includes options for single or dual-stick ground drive, allowing for more precise positioning of the drill.
MODERN DESIGN
Designed with a wider frame, the JT24 offers best in class stability, without compromising footprint. A real-time carriage-position indicator provides operators insight into the exact carriage positions for increased productivity and intuitive operation. Features a simple, field-proven pipe-loading system with a lower center of gravity than competitive units.
