2016 Ditch Witch JT9

The 2016 Ditch Witch JT9 is a compact, high-performance horizontal directional drilling rig engineered for urban utility installations and tight-quarters fiber deployments. Ideally suited for contractors requiring a balance of maneuverability and productivity, this HDD drill delivers consistent reliability for smaller-diameter bores where site footprint is a critical constraint.

With 2,256 hours of operation, this unit maintains robust mechanical integrity, underpinned by a capable 66-horsepower engine. The JT9 provides 9,000 lbs of thrust and pullback force paired with 1,100 ft-lb of rotational torque, ensuring it handles challenging ground conditions with precision. Measuring only 4' 1" in width and weighing 7,380 lbs, the drill is exceptionally mobile, while its integrated 50-piece pipe rack holds 300 feet of 1.66" diameter drill pipe, maximizing efficiency on long bores. The unit is equipped with durable rubber tracks, making it suitable for sensitive surface conditions and residential job sites.

Every system—from the hydraulic pumps to the fluid management circuit—will undergo a rigorous inspection and full service at our facility to meet our stringent Ready-To-Work standards. We prioritize field readiness, ensuring that the power plant and drill string components are in optimal operating condition before delivery.
