D40x55DR S3 highlights
  • Delivers excellent productivity in a variety of ground conditions
  • Flexibility for the right tooling for the jobsite
  • Powerful downhole cutting action with dual rod technology

Features may include:

Building on greatness
  • Common CAN controls allow a smoother transition from one drill to the next across the Navigator® HDD lineup and the S3 badge and D40x55 S3 drill, as a base platform, provide a standard of excellence you can count on.
Work in comfort
  • A climate-controlled cab can help reduce impact of outdoor elements and enhance operator comfort.
More power, fewer hassles
  • Powered by a 140-hp (104-kW) John Deere® diesel engine, this drill serves up to 40,000 lb (177.9 kN) of thrust/pullback and 5,500 ft-lb (7,457 Nm) of rotational torque, enabling boring through hard rock with less hassle.
  • Spend less time switching out rod boxes and go further with your install by having more onboard rod carrying capacity.
  • The time and steps required to add or remove a rod on the D40x55DR S3 is significantly less than previous Vermeer models due to an enhanced dual drill rod design that quickly and easily makes up the inner and outer rod connections.
