Description
JT24 HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILL
The evolution of HDD continues with the Ditch Witch® JT24 Directional Drill. Giving you the power and footprint to be the ultimate uptime champ. Engineered from direct customer feedback, this drill is ideal for urban and residential utility, gas and fiber jobs. Boasting more power in a compact footprint, the JT24 provides 101-gross-hp, 3,000 ft-lbs of torque and 24,000 lbs of thrust and pullback at a size that easily fits in tight jobsites. Plus, its low center of gravity gives operators more stability than competitive units so you can work with confidence.
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.
SERVICEABILITY
The JT24 is equipped with fold-out, lift-off service doors for easy access for machine maintenance and serviceability. Open wrenches rotated toward the operator provide easier access to jaw inserts.
SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT
As with all Ditch Witch equipment, the JT24 is backed by a worldwide network of dealerships you can count on for unmatched commitment to your success.

• Two, seven-inch LED screens provide better insight into all machine functions.
• The JT24 is equipped with radial operator control (ROC) to highlight the multifunctional controller on the machine display for better controllability.
• Fold-out, lift-off doors make it easier for operators to conduct machine maintenance.
• 40-gpm, 1,200-psi mud pump offers increased fluid course from the mud pump to the swivel, funneling extra horsepower to the bit downhole.
• The JT24 offers best-in-class stability without compromising footprint so operators can maneuver in urban jobsites with confidence.
• Built with no grease zerks, a Ditch Witch standard, the JT24 simplifies maintenance and reduces the total cost of ownership.
• The JT24 holds up to 400 ft of pipe onboard for longer bores and reduced cycle times, which means less downtime. Plus, a reversible pipe box increases jobsite versatility.
• Dual-thrust motors provide 24,000 lbs of thrust and pullback while an exclusive single-motor system delivers up to 3,000 ft-lbs of torque for outstanding performance in tight, urban jobsites.
• Add-a-pipe design allows operators to manually insert extra sticks of drill pipe for greater productivity.
• A real-time carriage position indicator provides operators insight into the exact carriage position for more productivity and control.
