SOIL-SCOUT Throughout the last decade, the versatile Acker SOIL-SCOUT has become a favorite of many drilling contractors throughout the country…and for good reason. At only 47-1/2” [1.21 m] wide, it is capable of traveling through areas where most track rigs aren’t capable of going, such as between houses and through tight entrance ways. And with clearance of less than 8 feet [2.44 m], it is not uncommon to find the SOIL-SCOUT drilling in parking garages, basements or any other highly restricted areas. ​ What separates the SOIL-SCOUT? Capable of traveling through tight spaces. ​ Capable of drilling under 8 ft. clearance. ​ Various options and configurations. Standard Equipment Power Unit – (4) cylinder diesel, air-cooled, 62 HP @ 2,600 rpm with 12-volt electric start. Feed – 7 ft. [2.13 m] overall feed. 4 ft.
