2024 Ditch Witch® JT60

2024 Ditch Witch® JT60 EPA Tier 4

With the new JT60 horizontal directional drill, you’ll recognize many of the features you’ve grown to appreciate: the proven, intuitive electronics and the rugged and reliable undercarriage, to name two. And in no time you’ll appreciate the JT60’s more powerful rotational torque—an increase of 4,000 ft·lb (5423 N·m) over its predecessor the JT4020—and 60,000 lb (267 kN) of thrust and pullback. It’s the more powerful combination you needed—the combination you asked for—to work more efficiently with less downtime.

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.
