Grasshopper - Track Mounted RC/RAB Drill

MPP’s most portable track mounted RC (reverse circulation) drill, the Grasshopper was developed for drilling programs in remote areas. The Grasshopper features a 45 HP Kubota diesel engine, 304 track carrier package and blade for site prep. The rig can be broken down into modules that weigh less than 1200 lbs. and are compact enough to fit into a small fixed-wing aircraft.

Features

  • Lightweight modular design
     
  • No module over 1250 lbs.
     
  • Ideal for early-stage exploration
