The machine\u2019s real-time carriage-position indicator tells the operator the exact carriage location, for increase productivity and more intuitive operation. A multifunctional, radial operator control is highlighted on the display for better control efficiency, including mud flow, rotation and more. New to the JT40, tracker information is integrated into the advanced displays for enhanced visibility into all jobsite functions beyond drill operation.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The machine\u2019s raw power provided by a 160-gross-hp, Tier 4 Cummins diesel engine gives operators 14 percent more horsepower in a smaller package. For greater drilling efficiency, the JT40 offers an innovative, two-speed, rotational drive system that produces 5,500 ft-lbs of torque. The machine minimizes pipe-entry distance, giving operators increased drill pipe support as it enters the ground. It holds up to 600-feet of drill pipe onboard allowing for longer bores. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JT40 is available with the option of a fully enclosed cab, with premium heat and air capabilities, or an open operator\u2019s station designed with integrated vandal covers. Both options feature an ergonomic seat, extended legroom and place the operator at a 45-degree angle, which provides visibility of all critical vision points.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ditchwitch.com\/directional-drills\/directional-drills\/jt40\u2019\" target=\"_blank\">Ditch Witch, a Charles Machine Works Company<\/a><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwmag.com\/roadways\/\" target=\"_blank\">More Roadways Products<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new unit is equipped with two, 7-inch LED displays for a direct, transparent view into all critical machine functions and operations.
