    Power

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

    Choice of a 190-gross-hp (142-kW) Tier 3 or 200-gross-hp (149-kW) Tier 4 Cummins® diesel engine.

    Double rack-and-pinion thrust drive is field-proven and engineered to push/pull through long, tough bores.

    Ditch Witch drill pipes are manufactured to be stronger and more durable. The JT60 has three drill pipe options that you keep your drills and business moving forward.

  • Operator's Station
    JT60
    Operator's Station

    Open-top vise wrenches are angled toward the operator, lending an excellent view of the tool joint when making up and breaking out pipes.

    Dual-pivot drill frame allows for 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; operator station stays level for maximized comfort.

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

    Operator’s station features an ergonomic seat, color LCD engine display, higher visibility, and an intuitive joystick that controls all drilling functions.

    Productivity

    Onboard, enclosed 150-gpm (560-l/min) fluid pump for productive drilling at greater distances; flow rate can be operated simultaneously with thrust/pullback and rotation.

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

    Heavy-duty, planetary-driven anchor system enables you to use full machine thrust in tough jobsite conditions, improving productivity.

    Two-speed thrust drive motors provide exceptional low-speed drilling control and the ability to reach the high speeds necessary for rapidly loading drill pipes.

    Open-top vise wrenches are angled toward the operator, lending an excellent view of the tool joint when making up and breaking out pipes.

    Wireline platform option available.
