Vermeer Series II horizontal directional drill

The new Vermeer D16x20 Series II Navigator horizontal directional drill is powered by a 63 hp (47 kW) Kubota diesel engine, and provides 16,000 pounds (7258 kg) of thrust pullback force and 2000 ft-lb (2711 Nm) of torque. For added control in varying soil conditions, the standard AutoDrill function allows the operator to set rotation, thrust and pullback pressure. Similar to a car’s cruise control, the drill then adjusts bore and pullback speeds as it works through the bore. The D16x20 Series II features sliding tracks that adjust outward for improved stability in uneven terrain. When returned to the inward position, the drill has a compact footprint. Precise fingertip controls are mounted on two joysticks within the ergonomically designed operator’s station.
