Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method of installing pipelines and conduits in the areas where traditional open cut excavations are not feasible and/or not desired for environmental and/or constructability reasons. This method is most effective when used in congested areas where may other obstructions such as roadways, highways, landscaping ect. are present. When Directional Drilling is utilized, your project will be completed with very little disruption to the area without closing roads, driveways, or parking areas.

Ditch Witch JT 20

Compact size allows greater productivity on residential and urban jobsites; JT20 has a high ratio of power to size, allowing you to install more utilities per day in tight, congested areas.

Industry-best cruise control system simplifies drilling and backreading.

The 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.

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

Drilling fluid system pumps mud at 25 GPM (04 l/min); high fluid flow enables longer utility installations and better performance in sandy soils.

Ditch Witch JT 10

Powered by a Tier 4, 66-hp (49 kW) Deutz® diesel engine, the JT10 is the most powerful drill in its class.

With the shortest profile in its class, the JT10 is easy to set up in tight spaces with rear ignition for faster setup.

The JT10 has the quickest cycle times in its drill class.

The machine’s slow zone is shortened increasing cycle times and allowing operators to put more pipe in the ground faster.

For maximum strength and durability, the JT10 provides 1,100 ft·lb (2066.7 Nm) of rotational torque.

The JT10 holds 324 ft (98.8 m) of drill pipe onboard to improve productivity and allow operators to finish virtually any utility installation job.
