KEY FEATURES
• 160-gross-hp (119-kW), Tier 4i engine is the most powerful
in its class; full power to all machine functions boosts your
overall productivity.
• Automatic, intuitive Carve Mode reduces operator fatigue and
error, and is compatible with industry-leading TriHawk® HD
housings and bits for exceptional efficiency and productivity.
• Industry-exclusive, double-pivot drill frame allows steep entry
angles without raising the tracks off the ground, for maximum
stability while drilling.

and customer-driven electronic functions.t
• Exclusive assisted makeup and breakout feature: JT30
automatically adjusts speed when making up and breaking
out drill pipe, saving wear on pipe threads and reducing
operator fatigue.
• Quietest directional drill in its class (max. 85 dBA) for less
environmental impact, less disruption in urban areas and
greater operator comfort.
• Heavy-duty anchor system enables you to push or pull with
full machine thrust and depend on the JT30 remaining in
place; better machine stability while drilling means a quick
and more productive bore.
• With a width that’s 9 inches narrower than the
competition (80 inches/2 m, without cab), the JT30 is a
higher-horsepower drill that can operate in tighter spaces.
• Optional cab features climate-controlled heat and air
for greater operator comfort and productivity.
• Hinges on main and rear hoods allow easy access to all
service points in the engine and mud pump; rear mud pump
cover allows you to operate in colder conditions.
• Field-proven, heavy-duty rack and pinion thrust drive;
welded-on double rack offers minimum maintenance and
maximum reliability.
• Visibility enhanced by open-top vise wrenches and improved
operator station; wrenches are angled toward the drill
operator for an excellent view of the tool joint when making
up and breaking out pipe, and all drill functions are clearly
visible from operator station, with or without cab.
