Dura-Drill
Hydraulic Soil Samplers
Duo Lift manufactures a very rugged line of Dura-Drill soil samplers, designed
to be used by agronomists, fertilizer companies, and farmers to obtain soil
for fertility testing. Our Dura-Drill sampler utilizes a hardened steel auger
with a carbide tip to bore through hard-packed or frozen soils. Models are
available to drill to depths of 10", 36", and 48". Our double-auger machines
allow both 10" and 36" or 48" depths to be drilled simultaneously.
All models can be installed on our two-wheel trailer or on a full-size pickup
truck. The trailer-installed machine is becoming increasingly popular, due to
it's portability. It's easy for a large fertilizer or agronomy company to
utilize the sampler at various outlets when installed on a trailer, versus
dedicating a truck full-time to a sampling machine.
The sampler is operated with a hand-held control pendent with
electric-over-hydraulic controls. The hydraulic system comes complete with a
reservoir, filters, control valve, and gear pump. The pump is driven by a
very reliable Honda engine. During operation, the soil collection canister is
hydraulically lowered to the ground while the hardened steel auger drills
through an opening in the bottom of the canister into the soil. As the auger
reaches the desired depth, and returns, the soil is deposited into the
collection canister. The canister hydraulically raises off the ground and you
simply drive to your next sampling location. The canister is hinged and folds
down for quick and easy collection of soil into your sampling bags.
All trailer-mounted units are complete and ready to use from our factory.
Truck-mounted machines can be installed at our factory by Duo Lift
technicians, or we can ship them to you for installation. All truck-mounted
machines require detailed information about the truck make, model, and year.
We also need you to inspect the frame underneath the front of the pickup box
to make certain there is plenty of room to install our mounting brackets to
the main C-channel of the truck frame. If brake lines, wiring, or the fuel
tank is too close to the frame, we may not be able to use the truck for
mounting a sampler. If this is the case, a trailer-mounted unit would be your
best choice.
An optional probe can be attached to the sampler, if you need to obtain a core
profile of the soil.
