OVERVIEW

One rig, four drilling methods, zero compromises on power.

The MD600X handles hollow-stem auger, continuous-flight auger, rotary, and diamond-core drilling in a single track-mounted platform — reaching depths up to 1,600 ft. An eight-speed rotation head and variable-displacement motor put full torque and speed on tap, while an integrated engine-leveling system keeps the rig drilling on grades up to 45°.

01 · ENGINE LEVELING

Drills the incline, not just the pad.

An integrated engine-leveling mechanism supports continuous operation on slopes up to 45°. Dual mast-raising cylinders and an audible raise/lower alarm make angled setups routine, not risky.

02 · SLIDE BASE & ROD CLAMP

Move the hole, not the rig.

The slide base repositions the mast in/out and side-to-side without retramming. A dual-stage, swing-out rod clamp handles the full range of rod sizes with a clean breakout.

03 · WINCHES & HANDLING

Everything on board to run the hole start to finish.

A full winch package, remote carrier winch, automatic SPT hammer, and on-board rod and auger racks keep tooling, samples, and casing moving without extra equipment on site.

Winches: 11,000 lb & 5,000 lb line, 2,200 lb wireline to 1,968 ft
Automatic SPT hammer — ASTM D-1586, 140 lb, 30 in drop
Rod rack: 100 ft AWJ + 100 ft NQ
Auger rack: 50 ft of 3-1/4 in hollow augers
4x hydraulic stabilizing jacks, safety cage, 3x night lights

04 · PUMPS, UPTIME & BUILD

Built to run, backed to stay running.

Dual Pump System

Triplex piston pump — 40 GPM at 735 PSI — for full-power drilling fluid circulation, plus an onboard progressive cavity pump — 40 GPM at 250 PSI — dedicated to grouting.

John Deere JDLink

Factory-integrated JDLink telematics puts engine health, fault codes, and location in front of the dealer network — maximizing dealer support and reducing downtime.

J2 Steel Chassis

Frame and mast are built from J2-grade steel, rated to hold toughness and weld integrity in cold-weather temperatures and shock loads without cracking.

DRILLING DEPTH CAPACITIES

Four methods. One platform.

Hollow Stem Auger 3-1/4 in

05 • CONTROLS

Proportional control, wherever the driller stands.

Proportional rotation-head and feed levers give fine control at the panel. The wireless remote extends tramming, carrier winch, engine start/stop, throttle, and horn control to the operator's position.

PROVEN IN THE FIELD

Two delivered. A third in production.

Our first MD600X went to work on a geotechnical crew in Pennsylvania — through frozen fields, transmission-tower foundations, and steel-yard test borings. Everything that job taught us shaped the rig that followed.
