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 7½ feet. A constant-contact brush cleans the probe with each pass.
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 7½ 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.
When the user-defined core count is achieved, a 12-volt motor raises and rotates the drum to assure proper mixing as the Falcon drives to the next sampling site.
After soil is mixed in the baffled drum, a stainless steel funnel lowers to fill the sample into a pre-labeled sample bag, box or plastic container in a 12-position keyed carousel.
Two carousel options allow use of your test laboratory’s specified container, including paper bags, cardboard boxes or Falcon stackable plastic containers.
The Model 5000 barcode reader automatically identifies and synchronizes samples with the GPS location for uploading to soil test laboratories using the Falcon’s cloud-based data system.
Reinforced movable shelves in the weather-sealed rear utility cabinet store samples without cluttering the tow vehicle cab.
The Falcon’s weather-sealed e-box includes an onboard Windows computer that controls machine functions via a side-mounted weather-protected touch-screen. Other features: a wireless illuminated video camera, a front-facing fault alert light, a WAAS GPS receiver and multiple data and electrical ports.
The Falcon touch-screen interface and video are fed wirelessly to a laptop or tablet computer inside the tow vehicle for remote operation and monitoring.
Field operating speeds typically vary from 8 to 12 mph, depending on field conditions. On the road, the Falcon can be towed at normal speeds.
Falcon technology delivers better samples, better analysis,
smarter input decisions, bigger harvests and increased customer satisfaction.
