Good morning, I'm trying to locate a small drill rig I can hire. Or something similar that will get the job done. The ground I'm testing is shallow 5m max so don't need anything to serious

General area?
Hard rock / soft rock....?
Core? Wash? Air?

Maybe quicker and easier (cheaper in long run) to get one of the Drilling companies with a tractor/tracked rig.

Alternatively, assuming auger in soft soil (eg probing holes) what about hiring a skidsteer with rotary?
