DESCRIPTION
The Watson 2500 Drill Rig is a legendary workhorse in the foundation drilling industry, and this unit is a standout example of power and reliability. Recently repowered with a brand-new John Deere 4045 motor (with less than 10 hours and full documentation from John Deere), this rig is primed for years of heavy-duty service.
With a formidable 90,000 ft/lbs of rotary torque and a drilling depth of 120 feet, this machine is engineered to handle challenging soil conditions and deep foundation projects with ease.
Equipped with a 3-bar square Kelly (8”/6”/4.25”) and a slotted 4.25” Kelly stub, this rig offers the precision and strength required for serious tooling. The 25,000 lb Kelly winch ensures you have the hoisting power necessary to manage heavy loads and large-diameter augers efficiently.
The rig is mounted on a rugged Kenworth T800 chassis designed for maximum stability and off-road capability. Featuring a tri-drive and twin steer configuration, this truck provides the weight distribution and maneuverability needed to navigate tight job sites while carrying a massive drilling package.
The included operator’s cab provides a climate-controlled environment for all-day productivity, while the integrated night lighting allows for safe
operations during 24-hour shifts. With 157,749 miles on the truck and 8,081 total rig hours, this Watson 2500 Drill Rig is a well-maintained, high-capacity solution for any drilling fleet.
