Ditch Witch - JT60 All Terrain Horizontal Directional Drills

Every Ditch Witch All Terrain directional drill stands apart from competitors by virtue of its patented, two-pipe All Terrain drilling system, which delivers more power to the bit than any other rock-drilling system in its class, resulting in unbeatable productivity in the widest range of ground formations. With the JT60 All Terrain, you also get a uniquely powerful combination of rotational torque, thrust and pullback, plus intuitive carve mode and many other features requested specifically by customers.

Features & Benefits

SaverLok™ System

SaverLok™ System provides the tightest connection and best protection against wear and tear on the drill pipe and drive system; easy to install and replace, requiring no special tools.

Torque

60,000 lb (267 kN) thrust and pullback and 9,000 ft•lb (12,240 N•m) rotational torque—the powerful combination you need for outstanding productivity on big installation jobs.

Productivity

Simple, intuitive carve mode reduces operator fatigue; compatible with superior TriHawk® HD housings and bits for exceptional productivity.

Structure

Dual-pivot drill frame allows steep entry angles without raising the tracks off the ground—no need to constantly readjust the machine even when the terrain is muddy or steep; enhances operator comfort because operator’s station stays level.

Wrenches

Cab

Fully enclosed, climate-controlled cab features instrument panel gauges positioned for visibility, conveniently placed controls and an excellent view of the tool joint.

Anchor system

Heavy-duty, planetary-driven anchor system enables you to use full machine thrust when needed, improving jobsite productivity.
