The Ditch Witch JT3020 Mach 1 horizontal directional drill is an extended-range, self-contained machine with 30,000 lbs. of pullback and the capacity to bore pilot holes up to 4.5 ins. and backream diameters up to 12 ins. The 148-hp. engine automatically increases horsepower to operate in the toughest drilling conditions, all at less than 82 dBA at the operator’s ear. The JT3020 has 1 easy-to-read, menu-driven LCD screen that provides, among other indications, real-time status of the pipe makeup and breakout cycle. Charles Machine Works, Inc., Perry, OK
