Ditch Witch, a Charles Machine Works company, released the JT20XP horizontal directional drill (HDD) package featuring a JT20XP drill and XP44 mixing system. According to the company, the industry-first solution is the only drilling system in its class to utilize all on-board horsepower for thrust and rotation. Together, the full 118-hp solution provides operators superior power and productivity for larger utility-installation jobs.
“We designed the JT20XP package to complement the unique needs of HDD contractors in the mid-sized utility-installation space,” says Seth Matthesen, Ditch Witch HDD category manager. “The JT20XP drill provides improved spindle torque and speed over its predecessor, while delivering 56 percent more mud flow than competitive units. It’s matched by the XP44’s superior mixing capabilities to offer a more productive solution for larger jobs, while retaining a small, compact footprint.”
