The Melvelle Equipment Percussion Sampler provides a quick and easy method of taking plant root and other soil samples. A choice of either split inner tubes or clear plastic inner tubes allow easy sample removal and transport of the sample.

The photo to the left shows a 2.5“ (63mm) sampler with a quick assembly tripod and winch for extracting the sampler.

The petrol powered impact driver is capable of quickly driving the sampler into the ground.

Note: Ground penetration of 11-12 metres is achievable depending on soil composition. Speed to penetrate the ground will also vary.
