The Ditch Witch^®JT3020 All Terrain features all terrain technology, one of the Ditch Witch organization’s many patented innovations designed to simplify the HDD process. One of the company’s breakthrough innovations was the slant-faced drill bit, which revolutionized the industry by enabling HDD operators to steer the drill head. All Terrain technology improves upon the steering process with a patented dual-drive pipe system, which enables the JT3020 All Terrain to drill and steer at the same time. This is an advantage over single-rod systems, which are not capable of steering as well, if at all, in consolidated soils. The inner pipe of the JT3020 All Terrain’s two-pipe drill string continuously turns the drill bit at 150 to 400 RPM, depending on the soil, resulting in exceptionally efficient boring.

The king of the Ditch Witch mountain is the HT300, a rock-digging workhorse capable of trenching up to ten feet (3.1 m) deep and up to 36 inches (914 mm) wide in the most extreme jobsite conditions. The 300-hp (224 kW) HT300 is designed to deliver maximum trenching power even on rocky and/or uneven terrain, making it the ideal trencher for wind-farm construction, pipeline work, installing and repairing energy-distribution facilities, and other heavy-duty applications.
