9 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® SEPTEMBER 2014 Hot Off the Press page is proudly sponsored by Fecon, Inc. JT9 ~ A Powerful, Compact Drill Ditch Witch announced the release of its JT9 horizontal directional drill. The powerful drill is run by a 64-horse- power, Tier 4, air-cooled diesel engine to provide years of reliable service. With 9000 pounds of pullback force in its sturdy, compact frame, the JT9 com- bines simplicity and easy operation with advanced features of much larger machines, such as a heavy-duty anchor system, open-top vise wrenches, and an integrated remote display. Another plus - daily maintenance points are in one easily accessible location. Maneuvering in and around the job- site is made easy with turf-friendly tracks which minimize surface disturbance. Its thoughtful design ensures the most efficient utility installation possible. To simplify pipe handling during op- eration, the drill operator is positioned near the center of the pipe rack in a sliding ergonomic seat. For faster cycle times, the carriage travels the length of the drill frame swiftly, resulting in more pipe in the ground. The JT9 holds 300 feet of drill pipe onboard, so larger jobs can be completed quicker. For a link to this Web site, visit: worldwidedrillingresource.com
