The Ditch Witch organization announces the release of the Ditch Witch JT9 horizontal directional drill. The 64-hp (48-kW) JT9 is the most powerful drill in its class-33 percent more powerful than the competition. Offering 9,000 lb of pullback force in its sturdy yet compact frame, the JT9 combines the simplicity and easy operation of smaller drills with the advanced features of bigger drilling machines-like a heavy-duty anchor system, open-top vise wrenches and an integrated remote display.
