JT28 Directional Drill
More than just brute force, the JT28 puts the operator first. Built from direct customer feedback, the JT28 features best-in-class comfort, premier LCD display and a superior view of all machine functions—giving you a new outlook on what productivity truly is.
Key Features
- A 130-gross-hp, Tier 4-Cummins® diesel engine is the most power in its class.
- 28,000 lb of thrust and pullback provides the power to efficiently get the job done and move on to the next.
- An exclusive rotational drive with 4,200 ft-lb of torque and a unique, single-motor system results in smoother operation.
- Narrow operational width provides greater maneuverability and productivity in tight spaces.
- Intuitive, easy-to-use carve mode simplifies operation and improves productivity, making it exceptionally easy to install pipe and cables up to 12 inches in diameter at lengths up to 500 feet.
- Simple, field-proven pipeloading system with a lower center of gravity helps increase stability.
- Dual-pivot drill frame allows for steeper entry angles without raising tracks off the ground.
- No grease zerks and all daily maintenance points are in an easy-to-access location minimizing upkeep and maximizing uptime.
- A comfortable operator’s station built from direct customer feedback offers you the choice of single-handed control or dual joysticks for more thrust and rotational control, minimizing training time.
- Open-top vise wrenches are angled toward the operator, helping provide an excellent view of the tool joint when making up and breaking out pipe.
- LCD display provides engine diagnostics and informational messages directly to you.
