Backreaming Tips
• Plan backreaming job before drilling. Plan bore path as straight as possible. Check bend limits of
pullback material. Check that appropriate pullback devices are on hand.
• Keep all bends as gradual as possible.
• Drilling fluid quality is a key factor in backreaming success. Contact your Ditch Witch dealer for
information on testing water, selecting additives, and mixing drilling fluid.
• Backreaming requires more fluid than drilling. Make sure enough fluid is used.
