Video: DRILLMAX® DM250 - Features Walkaround
Simple operation and surprising power provide fast production with 22-foot stroke. Choose from a wide range of options, tailoring your DM250 to your geography and production needs. Selecting from standardized options reduces hassle of routine maintenance and makes possible repairing your rig from the field with a phone call to our team of expert service technicians. Owners describe their DM250 as their most productive and versatile water well drilling rig, praising its simple operation for making it easy to train new operators.
Many who use the DM250 water well drilling rig focus on drilling shallower than 300 feet, though the machine can exceed that depth. Key features on the water well drilling rigs for sale make for quick, easy work of 2-inch to 6-inch water wells.
With rig service shops in Pennsylvania, Florida and Kansas, you’ll have industry-leading water well drilling rig service support nearby for your routine maintenance or more in-depth rig remounting and refurbishment work. Our service technicians are backed by our team of engineers to ensure solutions not bandaids to issues. And our production processes mean your water well drilling rig is constructed consistently and tested thoroughly to ensure easier service support.
Our team of engineers thrives on collaborating with drillers while they continually innovate new water well drilling rig designs.
The durable, mechanical controls neatly laid out on the DM250 drill rig control panel include engine monitoring, a safety E-stop, hydraulic pressure gauges, friction control levers for mud pump and rotation circuits, and electronic throttle controls. Everything in front of you, labeled, makes for simple operation and easy training of new operators.
Control panel features durable, mechanical controls.
Top head carriage uses rollers instead of slides on the small water well drilling rigs.
Video: DRILLMAX® DM250 - Top Head
Rollers for top head carriage on DM250 create quiet, smooth head travel with simple maintenance.
Minimize time spent standing around waiting on cuttings to rise to top of hole thanks to the top head travel speed on the DM250. The fast travel time up and down the mast increases the uphole velocity pulling mud and cuttings up out of the hole. So rather than wasting time waiting on cuttings to come up out of a 300-foot deep well, you can move on to the next step.
The DRILLMAX® DM250 drill rig can be set up with centrifugal or piston mud pump and development air to meet your job needs. Mud pump and air compressor options include 3L8, 5x5 duplex, centrifugal pumps and 85cfm development air compressor. The hydraulic power provides the ability to use multiple functions at one time.
Tailor the small water well drilling rigs to your job and geography.
Single rod loader increases efficiency on the small drill rig.

Using the helper side controls to operate the jib and winch functions controls, the helper loads the drill pipe in the single rod loader. This makes the DM250 drilling rig easy to operate with a two-man crew while minimizing movement of the top head for faster production.
Table affords access to up-to 12-inch PVC casing from controls

The DM250 drill truck table assembly has clearance for 12-inch PVC casing. Table opening positioned outside rig permits placing casing without body contortions.
F600 model comes standard with a hydraulic table, featuring:
Call about upgrade kits available for 2018 or newer rigs.
The holding fork and hydraulically-operated, adjustable breakout wrench make tripping out fast and safe on the small drill truck.
Adjustable breakout wrench for fast tripping out.
DM250 small drill water well drilling rigs for sale are under Class A/B CDL still packs power to complete water well drilling and geothermal drilling efficiently.
Video: Rig Access Panels
Compact size and easy mobility mean getting to and into jobs fast and moving on to the next - whether off-road or a limited-access residential area - without worrying about having a CDL. Drillers enjoy the creature comforts of the factory 4X4 chassis, including air conditioning, cruise control, and bluetooth while minimizing fuel costs achieving 15 mpg on average. Clean layout of the deck, complete with access panels, makes for easier maintenance of securely routed hydraulic hoses from above the rig.
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:
Arrow marker and machined grooves aid aligning rotary head over rods.
Video: DRILLMAX® DM250 - Rod Carousel
Safe carousel option promptly pays for itself carrying 160-feet of 3-inch drill pipe.. Eliminate worry whether helper will call in sick when you choose carousel option that shows up everyday.
40-gallon on-board grout mixer runs off of rig hydraulics, saving fuel compared to running an extra engine.
On-board grout mixer saves fuel compared to running a separate engine.
Centralizer tray simplifies storage on rig and provides user-friendly access. Or choose a small rod box to transport an additional 100-feet of 3-inch drill pipe to back feed into carousel instead of a adding a centralizer tray.
Centralizer tray along deck for storage.
