Features

Power
The 130-hp Tier-4 Cummins® diesel engine is the most powerful in its class. 28,000 lbs of thrust and pullback delivers the power to get the job done and move on to the next. An exclusive rotational drive packing 4,200 ft-lbs of torque and a unique single motor system result in smoother operation.

Productivity
Narrower operational width delivers greater maneuverability in tight spaces. Intuitive, easy-to-use carve mode simplifies operation and boosts productivity, making installing pipe and cables up to 12 inches in diameter and 500 feet long a breeze.

Innovative Design
Simple, field-proven pipeloading system with a lower center of gravity increases stability. Dual-pivot drill frame allows for steeper entry angles without raising tracks off the ground. No grease zirks and all daily maintenance points are easy to access, minimizing upkeep and maximizing uptime.

Operator’s Station
The JT28 is built from direct customer feedback with your choice of single-handed or dual joysticks for more thrust and rotational control, minimizing training time. Open-top vice wrenches are angled toward the operator for an excellent view of the tool joint when making up and breaking out pipe. Premier LCD display delivers engine diagnostics and messages straight to you.
