2023 Brandt Government Directional Drills JT60

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 over its predecessor the JT4020 and 60,000 lb of thrust and pullback. It's the more powerful combination you needed - the combination you asked for - to work more efficiently with less downtime.

Features may include:

• Designed for greater uptime with a simple, durable, customer-driven design.

• 60,000 lb (267 kN) thrust and pullback and 9,000 ft lb (12,240 Nm) 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 4i Cummins diesel engine.

• 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.

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

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

• GPS is a standard feature of the JT60, allowing for online location and utilization tracking of assets, along with machine service, hour and location alerts.

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

• Proven, industry-leading pipeloading system is simple, easy to use and designed to increase speed with automation, saving you time, money and effort.

• 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 as well as higher speeds necessary for rapidly loading drill pipe.

• Dual-pivot drill frame allows 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; enhances operator comfort because operator's station stays level.

• Coordinated makeup and breakout feature automatically adjusts carriage thrust speed when making up and breaking out drill pipe, saving wear on pipe threads and reducing operator fatigue.

• Dual rear independent stabilizers give you confidence to set up on uneven terrain.

• Easy to service, with all daily maintenance points in one location that is easily accessed through removable doors.

• Open-top vise wrenches are angled toward the operator for an excellent view of the tool joint when making up and breaking out pipe.

• Operator's station features intuitive joystick that controls all drilling functions, ergonomic seat, color LCD engine display, and an excellent view of all drill functions.

• SaverLok System provides the tightest connection and best protection against wear and tear on the drill pipe and drive system; easy to install and replace, requiring no special tools.

• Compatible with the TK Series HDD Guidance System, which enables you to cut through noise and complete bores with an unprecedented level of confidence.
