The 20" Fly Cutter HDD Reamer with built-in 25T swivel is engineered for the most demanding large-diameter horizontal directional drilling applications in medium to hard soil, cobble, and soft rock conditions. Rated for 25T pull force and compatible with all major HDD drill string thread connections via the included universal thread adapter, this fly cutter directional drilling reamer delivers maximum bore enlargement and aggressive cutting performance on heavy-duty trenchless construction projects including large pipeline installations, municipal utility bores, industrial conduit runs, river crossings, and infrastructure projects requiring oversized bore diameters in challenging ground conditions.
The fly cutter blade design breaks through medium to hard soil, gravel, cobble, and soft rock formations while maintaining consistent drilling fluid circulation throughout the annular space, ensuring effective cuttings evacuation and bore wall stability during the reaming pass and pullback. The integrated 25T swivel eliminates pipe rotation during product pipe installation, protecting both the pipe and drill string from torsional stress and delivering a smooth, controlled pullback on the longest and most demanding bore paths in difficult ground.
At 20" in diameter, this reamer is ideally suited for product pipes ranging from 12" to 16" in outer diameter, following the standard HDD industry practice of selecting a reamer at approximately 1.5x the pipe OD. The included universal thread adapter ensures full compatibility with all major HDD drill manufacturers including Vermeer, Ditch Witch, Toro, and American Augers, making this reamer a powerful and versatile tooling solution for large-frame drill rigs including Vermeer D100x120, Ditch Witch JT100, American Augers DD-110, and other machines rated for the required pull force and fluid flow on large-diameter bores in hard soil and rock formations.
