AutoDrill allows the operator to set rotation and thrust/pullback pressure while drilling in changing soil conditions. The AutoResume function allows slurry/cuttings to mix before thrust/pullback resumes. |
| Carriage Speed |
The D23x30 S3 features a carriage speed of 206 ft/min (62.8 m/min), which is 7% faster than comparable drills on the market. |
| Common Control System |
The system includes a digital display and improved onboard diagnostics with reduced wiring and fuses for enhanced reliability. |
| Enhanced Hydraulic System Design |
Improved hydraulic efficiency allows better use of engine horsepower and increases drill productivity. |
| Increased Productivity |
The D23x30 S3 features 24,000 lb (106.8 kN) of thrust/pullback and 3000 ft-lb (4067.5 Nm) of rotational torque for increased productivity. |
| Low-profile Steel Hood |
The low-profile hood improves operator visibility and minimizes maintenance needs with its rugged design. |
| Power and Speed in a Small Footprint |
