    Like its brother the Explorer 1500, the MPD 1500 also incorporates proven reverse circulation components and a hydraulically leveling deck.
    The MPD 1500, however, is mounted on a flat track system, and is designed to operate on severe slopes and grades. This combination makes the MPD 1500 the perfect choice for off-road exploration drilling.
