My plan was to mount a triple stage forklift mast on the back of a truck, with hyd rams to lay it down in transport. For drill stem I was going to use real drill stem, but cut and rewelded in 8' maybe 10' lengths, the leftovers would be used for fence posts. I did drill 2 starter holes, one by warehouse, another by house, I forget 10' maybe 12' deep, sleeved with 12" pvc. From the people I talked to, all said it would most likely not be potable due to ag chemicals and septic systems in the area, my main concern was water for warehouse so we could have a sink and flush toilet, not to drink. Warehouse is rented, tenant pays the water bill, and within the next 10 years it will all be bulldozed for a strip center,mall, who knows what, so I'm not worried about it anymore.Want more information on water drill rig?

Getting it to you has been ours.” And Versa-Drill gets to put the tools in their hands and under their feet that make it all happen. Especially when it comes to water well drilling rigs.
Since purchasing their V-140X, owner Craig Wilder says things have been good. “We’re as busy as can be,” he says. “We run it every day.”
Purchasing a drill rig is a big decision. So how did Shidler & Wilder Wells and Pumps decide on investing in a new water well drilling rig from Versa-Drill? “It was everything from parts to the service department. Everyone’s been answering our questions.” Craig Wilder adds that the relationship he’s formed with Marcus Laibe of Versa-Drill has helped him trust the company. “Marcus brought one of his first rigs to us. I see him all the time at shows.”
The process for purchasing their brand new rig was simpler than they expected. “I called Marcus up when we were looking at this. We talked about the cost. He initially told me to go with the V-125, but then we talked, and it looked like, for our situation, the V-140X was better. He’s very helpful and very upfront with us.”
