This American Augers MCM2000 is a used directional drill — sometimes referred to as a horizontal directional drill or HDD machine — a type of equipment used in trenchless underground installation of pipelines, conduits, and cables. American Augers is a well-established American manufacturer of drilling equipment serving the oil and gas, utility, and construction industries.
This particular unit is configured as a complete mud recycling system, specifically the MCM2000 Mud Recycler, and is offered as a fully outfitted package ready for field deployment. Power is supplied by an Olympian D40P1 diesel generator set mounted on the unit. The recycling system is rated to process up to 250 gallons per minute of drilling fluid, and the setup includes a 660-gallon screen tank and a 1,380-gallon clean mix tank, giving the operator significant fluid storage and separation capacity on a single trailer.
Solids control is handled by three 5-inch desilter cones working in conjunction with a tandem linear screen, allowing the system to remove fine particulate from the drilling fluid before it is returned to the clean mix tank for reuse. This configuration is well suited to continuous drilling operations where fluid management and recycling are critical to efficiency and environmental compliance.
The entire system is mounted on a 1999 Trail King TK20 12-ton equipment trailer equipped with air brakes, making the unit self-contained and road-mobile. The machine shows 2,395 hours of recorded use and is described by the seller as being in good condition, having come directly off a recent project. It is located in California, USA, and is listed at $49,000.
