Video: DRILLMAX® DM650 - Features Walkaround

In keeping with the DRILLMAX® by Geoprobe® reputation for simple operation and maintenance, the DM650 incorporates robust, straightforward controls, and durable components. Engineered to handle 24-inch wells up to 1,500 feet, tailor the DM650 rotary drilling rig to your specific geography and drilling preferences from a wide array of options. Choosing from an assortment of standardized options minimizes maintenance and makes repairing your air drilling rig or mud drill from the field possible with a phone call to our team of expert service technicians. 

  • Maximize production with your choice of rod carousel (3.5 or 4.5-inch) or single rod loader (3.5-inch) options designed to match your drilling needs.
  • Simplify setting wells using the breakout table which hydraulically retracts to provide a 24-inch opening, utilizes an air fork for fast and safe tripping out, quickly switches bushing sizes, and is located outside the drill mast for plenty of room to weld the well casing.
  • Tailor to your preferred drilling method with options for air drilling or mud drill. For air drilling, choose up to a 1070/350 air compressor. Mud drill options include a 6X8 piston pump and 4X3 centrifugal pump. Either pump can run independently or supercharge the duplex with the 4X3 running in front. 

Possessing power to reach depth with ability to support weight of steel casing, owners of the DM650 complete large residential, light commercial, and farm irrigation water wells or geothermal drilling jobs.

With drill rig service shops in Pennsylvania, Florida and Kansas, you’ll have industry-leading drill rig service support nearby for your routine maintenance or more in-depth air drilling or mud drill 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 rotary drilling rig is constructed consistently and tested thoroughly to ensure easier service support.

Top Head Carriage


Top head with up-to 8,000 ft-lb torque and up-to 200 rpm also side shifts both directions with 40 inches of total travel to work with carousel and clear path along centerline. The carriage on the DM650 air drilling rig or mud drill uses rollers instead of slides, creating quiet, smooth head travel with simple maintenance.

  • long-lasting rollers are easily adjusted.
  • rollers permit fast and safe top head travel.
  • easy maintenance keeps rig performing like new.
Top head and drill mast features contribute to ability to quietly and smoothly drill deeper, bigger holes whether air drilling or outfitted as a mud drill.

Rod Carousel


Rod carousel capable of backfeeding while running drill pipe frees helper to complete other site chores. Rod carousel options available to accommodate preferred drill pipe size:

  • Carry 12, 3.5-inch pipes for a total of 240 feet with ability to backfeed. The optional rod box carries an additional 18 pipes allowing you to carry a total of 600 feet on the rig with these two options.
  • Carry 10, 4.5-inch pipes for a total of 200 feet with ability to backfeed. Optional rod box carries an additional 15 pipes allowing you to carry a total of 500 feet on the rig with these two options.
