DM250 on Ford F600 Incorporates Suggestions from Drillers in Field

Drillers across the country using the DM250 for their water well and geothermal work have been fueling our engineers with ideas and suggestions for improvements. In ongoing efforts to make drilling faster, easier, and safer the newest model DM250 on Ford F600 incorporates a number of those requests, including:

INCREASED REAR OUTRIGGER STROKE by 10 inches, providing more clearance to push and pull conductor pipe.

BETTER GROUND CLEARANCE provided by pads sitting 4.5-inches higher and split shaft sitting higher, improving ability to access job sites.

IMPROVED HYDRAULICS including:

• increased cooling capabilities.
• adjustable holdback improving control of down-the-hole hammer when driving casing and finer adjustments to see formation change when completing gravel pack wells.
• improved auxiliary hydraulics for increased flexibility when choosing rig options.

STANDARD HYDRAULIC TABLE

• Bushing closest to mast incorporates hydraulic movement.
• Table slips to clamp and hold up-to 6-inch steel casing tight.
• Eliminates chattering pins in coarse sands and gravel for quieter job site.
