DM250 Rigs for Water Well Drilling 

When it comes to power for drilling water wells, looks can be deceiving.

“Our industry has a hang up on bigger is better,” said Ricky Cosnahan, owner, DJ Pump Service, Georgia. “If a 24-inch wrench will break pipe loose, then you get the 36-inch to make sure you have the power. Just because it’s little doesn’t mean it doesn’t have power.”

Driller Chris Adkison attributes their success to the top head speed of the DM250 for cleaner, straighter well development in significantly less time - cutting the hole in hours instead of days.

“Where we drill wells there’s a lot of limestone and blue marl. It would take four days to drill 260 feet and then make a well on the fifth day,” Adkison said. “Now we’re doing it in a day and a half. The blue marl is a dense clay that swells and the DM250 cuts it really well.”

Possessing power to reach depth with ability to support weight of steel casing while drilling water wells, the DRILLMAX^® DM650 is engineered to handle 24-inch wells. Top head and drill mast features contribute to its ability to quietly and smoothly drill deeper, bigger holes.

“The rig doesn’t use much fuel and per foot it’s cheaper to operate. Upfront cost is less, and maintenance is less because parts are cheaper and it’s easier to work on. Maintenance wise, it’s really simple. Essentially it’s maintenance free. I can use hand tools to fix what I have to fix. If a hydraulic hose breaks, you can use common stuff you find at an auto parts store.” - Steve Simmons, owner, Roy Simmons & Son Well Drilling, Michigan
