By listening closely to the needs of contractors working in congested urban areas, our goal was to make this S3 drill a perfect fit for your operation — whether you’re installing cable, fiber or product pipe. With nearly 20,000 lb (89 kN) of thrust and pullback, and a Tier 4 Deutz engine that delivers a 12% increase in horsepower over its predecessor (D16x20 Series II Navigator® horizontal directional drill), the D20x22 S3 is the next key addition to your fleet of drills
The D20x22 S3 Navigator® Horizontal Directional Drill
FEATURES & BENEFITS
TOP OF ITS CLASS
The class-leading 167-fpm (50.9-m/min) carriage speed and rotational speeds of 257 rpm help you install more linear feet per day.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
A newly designed hydraulic circuit offers additional power for drilling and maneuvering around the jobsite, helping operators power up curbs and slopes to work more efficiently.
FASTER TRACKING SPEED
The 3.3-mph (5.3-km/h) tracking speed gets you from one setup to the next sooner.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS
Simplify machine monitoring with onboard diagnostics.
DUAL JOYSTICKS
Common dual joysticks on the current Vermeer drill lineup assist in operator efficiency and training.
