The SOIL-XLS has cemented its reputation as a workhorse of production drillers globally. With its rugged build, versatility, and size that allows it access through tough terrain, it is not uncommon to fin the SOIL-XLS in spots few drills dare to go...and produce.

What separates the SOIL-XLS?

Drill Head offers "Best of Both Worlds" for high-torque needed for augering and

high RPM needed for coring, making it the preeminent multipurpose drill rig.

5 ft. [1.52 m] Dump Mast and Engine Leveler allow it to angle drill and drill on

slopes up to a 45 degree incline.

Various options and configurations.
