A ground-driven 5-foot diameter stainless steel drum collects and mixes cores every 15 feet. With an optional second probe, cores are taken every 7 feet. A constant-contact brush cleans the probe with each pass. Depending on the desired core depth, a 4" to 12" stainless steel probe with a replaceable tip deposits a soil core into the stainless steel drum with every revolution.
Soil sampling has a long and important history of contributing to improved productivity of crop production across the U.S. As early as the late 1800s, agricultural scientists and farmers began testing for key plant nutrients in soils. By the early 1900s, Land Grant universities were conducting research that undergirds soil sampling and analysis programs in use today.
In a word - consistency. Just as most aspects of agriculture have benefited from automation, a machine that takes precise soil cores at the same depth every 15 feet, hour after hour, improves the quality of soil samples. Because soil samples are more precise and consistent, farmers are more confident in fertility recommendations.
Typically, we recommend 10 cores to make up a soil sample, but most people take five because of time constraints. The Falcon system speeds up soil sampling, so the time it takes to collect enough cores becomes a non-issue.
This system will allow you to increase the number of cores per sample and can be used to produce more samples per field, to get the intensive sampling that will provide the high-resolution soil test data needed for variable-rate precision fertilizer applications.The Falcon allows you to sample twice as many acres in a day as two guys hand-sampling.
