A mobile drilling machine adapted to be mounted on an all-terrain vehicle of the type principally utilized for recreational purposes. Secured to a reinforced rear luggage rack of the vehicle is an equipment supporting plate carrying a drill beam mounted thereto by way of a support bearing. The drill beam is rotatable from a horizontal traveling position to vertical drilling position. The drill beam has, at its lower end, a base plate which is attached to a hydraulic cylinder. At a drill site, the hydraulic cylinder is actuated to lower the base plate to the ground surface. Continued movement of the cylinder lifts the rear end of the vehicle which places a portion of the weight of the vehicle on the drill beam to maintain the position of the drill beam.
