S & D Drilling has manufactured an aluminum Tripod system which is capable of mounting the motorized cathead to one of the legs. This tripod system can drive continuous split spoons or NW size drill casing, if required. This unit is beneficial in areas of bog where an all terrain vehicle is unable to travel. The space requirements for this unit are approximately 12 feet in diameter and 10 feet of height.

The tripod drill system is most useful in areas of side slopes as well as limited access areas where traditional drills will not fit.
