The new D40x55DR S3 Navigator HDD is Vermeer’s only drill with a dual-rod design, which lends itself to greater speed and power compared to its predecessor model, as well as offers the unique ability to handle tough ground conditions, including hard rock.

Vermeer's newest horizontal directional drill (HDD) will be showcased at the Rock the Iron Road Show, hosted by RDO Equipment Co.'s Oregon Vermeer team. Attendees have three opportunities to attend the Road Show, Oct. 9, 10 and 11, at 10050 NE Renne Rd. in Newberg, Ore.

The new D40x55DR S3 Navigator HDD is Vermeer's only drill with a dual-rod design, which lends itself to greater speed and power compared to its predecessor model, as well as offers the unique ability to handle tough ground conditions, including hard rock. Attendees will see live demos of the new unit and have the chance to speak with RDO-Vermeer's team of experts to learn more about it.

Ollie Windle, RDO-Vermeer general manager, said the show's format lends itself to a variety of attendees, from drill operators and technicians to company owners.

"Product experts from both Vermeer and RDO will be available to provide detailed information, answer attendee questions, and give a more in-depth, one-on-one experience with the drill, so it's a great opportunity both for those who have experience with the drill and those seeing it for the first time," he said.

In addition to the D40x55 DR S3 Navigator, the Road Show is highlighting underground machines from manufacturers including DCI, Hi-Vac, McLaughlin, Sonetics and Vactron.
