The next generation compact Grundodrill 5X is TT Technologies most advanced directional drill rig in its class. The machine features a Tier 4 Final, 56 hp Kohler engine, a single push button stake down system and independent front and rear lift.
TT Technologies has also equipped the directional drill with a removable drill rod magazine with a capacity for 61 metres of drill rod. An optional magazine with 76 metres of drill rod is also available.
The updated Grundodrill’s new rubber tracks are quieter, easier on lawns and landscapes and offer excellent traction and durability, all while minimizing potential damage to concrete and turf.
The onboard 38-litre-per-minute high pressure drill fluid pump is ideal for lateral and service line installations. For main gas and water main installation, TT Technologies also offers a 76-litre-per-minute model.
An all-weather 18-cm touchscreen display delivers real-time bore data and operational performance. The unit offers 12,000 lbs. of thrust and pullback and 1,200-foot pounds of torque.
Independent front and rear boom lifts allows the operator to establish an optimum entry angle, between 11 and 17 degrees, without lifting the drill frame. The Grundodrill 5X also features a patent-pending onboard drill rod greaser.
A wireless handheld remote allows the operator to easily move the Grundodrill 5X and quickly align the drill for operation. As well, a new multi-positional seat mount puts all the controls within easy reach of the operator, while the ergonomic design offers comfort and helps lessen fatigue.
To make the compact machine more user friendly, a variety of drilling modes help to simplify drilling operations. Drilling modes range from manual to fully automated. Through a phone app, operators can connect to the directional drill to help identify problems or performance issues.
