HYDRACORE PROSPECTOR DRILL SPECIFICATIONS
The Prospector is the smallest machine that we like to make. We can make it with a gasoline or Diesel engine of 30 or 40 HP. They are very good machines for drilling short A or B size holes, but they can also be used for very short N holes. These machines are light weight but rugged.
