Vehicle-mounted soil sampler BOPROB III

towedATV-mountedtractor-mounted

Overview
The BOPROB III is a tow‑behind soil‑sampling trailer designed for continuous coring in the field while driving. It combines a hydraulic impact-and-rotation mechanism with a 360° rotating crank to extract cores and automatically discharge them into a 16‑sample magazine. Controls are provided via a 7‑inch touchscreen; an optional onboard camera gives visual feedback. Large, low‑pressure 235/60 R16 wheels reduce ground compaction. The unit mounts to tractors, pickups, quads or any vehicle with a standard tow hitch and includes speed‑sensitive protection to prevent sampling outside the allowed towing speed range.

Highlights

• Hydraulic impact and rotation sampling system
• 360° rotating crank with automatic sample ejection
• Continuous sampling while driving — no stopping required
• 7‑inch touchscreen for setup and monitoring
• Optional onboard camera for visual inspection
• Low soil compaction thanks to 235/60 R16 low‑pressure wheels
• Quick mount to standard hitches — no tractor modification needed
• Speed‑sensitive protection to avoid misuse

Key Strengths / Applications

• High‑throughput macronutrient sampling across large fields
• Integration with precision farming workflows and sampling plans
• Soil health monitoring and baseline surveys on arable land
• Shallow horizon sampling (10–30 cm) during transit between plots

How It Works

• 1. Attach the trailer to a compatible tractor or tow vehicle (standard hitch).
• 2. Set sampling depth and interval on the 7‑inch touchscreen.
• 3. Drive at recommended speed (4–15 km/h); the unit cores automatically.
• 4. Monitor operations via touchscreen and optional camera.
• 5. When the 16‑sample magazine is full, remove, empty and reload.
