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.
Features may include:
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 position for increased productivity and intuitive operation. Features a simple, field-proven pipe-loading system with a lower center of gravity than competitive units.
- 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.
- 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. From genuine Ditch Witch parts to factory-trained service and expert advice, your Ditch Witch dealership is your trusted partner.
