Soil Probes

When you need a more accurate way of testing the soil than can be accomplished in the field, you need soil probes to get those samples out of the ground and back to the lab. Designed to extract soil samples below the surface, you’ll be able to determine what’s going on well below the surface. We have high-quality nickel-chrome plated steel probes in 21” and 36” varieties.
