Large windows maximize operator visibility. ■ 120-degree swiveling seat – adjustable for legroom, back angle, height and operator weight – provides maximum visibility. ■ Single-lever drilling control for easy operation. ■ High-visibility gauges allow operator to monitor machine functions while remaining focused on the drilling. ■ Rubber-mounted engine frame isolates cab from engine vibrations. ■ Walk-around ground level maintenance provides fast, easy upkeep or repair.
HCR1500 ED with extendable boom increases drill pattern, while the HCR1500 D20 has a fixed boom with 20' rods for deeper drilling capability. ■ High-output compressor increases flushing air, provides faster drilling and decreases bit wear. ■ Reliable dust control system increases suction capacity and provides effective pre-cleaner to reduce escape of drilling dust. An optional dust suppression system is available for difficult drilling conditions. ■ Advanced rotary rod changer allows easy drill rod changes. Operators can add and remove rods using a single lever. Rods can also be indexed in the rack to distribute wear evenly and reduce costs. ■ Low-emission Tier II engines offer low fuel consumption and meets US exhaust emissions regulations. ■ Heavy-duty undercarriage – featuring a pentagonal section design to reduce dirt build-up and track wear – ensures strength and durability. ■ Angle indicator for quick and easy drilling alignment.
