  • Thrust Pullback: 19500 lbs

Features

The next entrant in the S3 generation of drills – the D20x22 S3 – features more power, increased speed, versatility and precise control. The right-powered and right-priced D20x22 S3 makes significant gains in power and speed compared to both competitors and its predecessor – the D16x20 Series II.

Key Features

  • The class-leading 167 feet-per-minute (50.9 m/min) carriage speed and rotational speeds of 257 rpm help you install more linear feet per day.
  • A newly designed hydraulic circuit offers additional power for drilling and maneuvering around the job site, helping operators power up curbs and slopes to work more efficiently.
  • The 5.3 km/hr per hour tracking speed gets you from one setup to the next sooner.
  • Simplify machine monitoring with onboard diagnostics.
  • Common dual joysticks on the current Vermeer drill lineup assist in operator efficiency and training.
