What rig do i need

Hey you cable tool drillers, I'm looking for a rig that will clean out some irrigation wells. We are looking at around 400 to 500 foot wells 12 &14'' holes.

The most common rig in these parts is the B.E. rig. Will the 22w work for this or do I need bigger? Drilling out blue shale & sandstone.

THANKS

Dave

I'm sure the 22w would handle it, I've not worked around them much though.

A BE 60 is a bigger rig and is easily truck mounted. Also, it has a reversing clutch

Thanks for the reply. What is a reversing clutch& the advantage to this? I have located a 24L on a truck with some tools. The guy wants around 20,000 and its in drilling shape. Dose that sound like a fair deal? Thanks Dave

If you ever try to take off 1,00 or so feet of drillin or snadline by hand you will quickly realize the value of a reversing clutch
