ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel soil sampling device is provided herein which is preferably mounted on a truck. It includes several interrelated means. The first is an upper hydraulic cylinder provided with a casing and a rod movable from the casing, the casing thereof being anchored. The second element is probe means fixedly mounted at the end of the rod of the hydraulic cylinder and adapted for vertical movement relative to the anchored casing of the hydraulic cylinder, together with the rod of the hydraulic cylinder, the prove means being vertically movable by the rod of the hydraulic cylinder between an inoperative position, in which it is out of contact with the soil and an operative position, in which it is positively positioned a predetermined distance into the soil, the probe means being actuatable to sample soil independently of actuation by the hydraulic cylinder. The probe means may be a rotary motor fixedly mounted at the end of the rod of the hydraulic cylinder and adapted for vertical movement relative to the anchored casing of the hydraulic cylinder together with the rod of the hydraulic cylinder, and an auger secured to, and rotatably driven by, the motor, the motor and auger being cooperatively vertically movable by the rod between the inoperative position, and the operative position. The third element may be a lower soil sample box positioned below the motor and mounted to the rod of the hydraulic cylinder at a location above the rotary motor for vertical movement with respect to the anchored casing of the hydraulic cylinder, the soil sample box including a pair of vertically aligned apertures therethrough for the passage of the probe means therethrough, the soil sample box being thus vertically Abstract continued. movable between a rest position out of contact with the soil and an operative position positioned atop the soil. The device includes guide means to guide the probe means relative to the soil sample box for the vertical movement. This provides an automatic truck- mounted soil sampling unit which easily and simply takes soil samples.
