The AMS Gator Probe is a one-of-a-kind soil probe that offers the benefits of a “closed end” soil probe, but the hinged jaw quickly transforms the unit into an “Open Ended” soil probe providing easy access to the entire soil core. Outfitted with a side footpeg allows the user to easily step the probe into the ground. The gator probe is ideal for composite sampling or field extraction of representative cores for subsequent analysis by a soil lab.

The NEW AMS Replaceable Tip Sand/Loose Sediment Soil Probe is ideal for obtaining unconsolidated soil samples in a 1” x 24” poly liner.

The AMS Turf Profiler lets you collect a replaceable wedge-shaped soil sample to assess moisture content, root structure, pest presence or chemical composition for your grass, greens and turf. This all stainless steel, one-piece, grass and turf soil profiler collects a soil sample that is 3 1/2" wide, 1" thick, and up to 7" deep, and it has a detachable plate face plate. It is ideal for obtaining quick, easy examination of the root structure and soil stratification of turf grass. The soil sample can also be easily replaced or properly prepared for later analysis.

The AMS Turf Probe has been designed to collect a 1/2" x 7" soil sample from grass and turf. The small diameter helps you minimize damage to your greens, and the slot of the turf probe allows for easy visual inspection, emptying and cleaning. The one-piece probe is made of nickel-plated carbon steel and has a built-in, corrosion resistant, 10" rubber-gripped cross handle. The sturdy design resists bending and twisting. The heat-treated, oversized tip cuts a soil core that is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the turf probe to minimize sidewall friction, and the top of the slot is closed to prevent turf, grass, or soil from being trapped or compacted in the upper section of the probe body.

Ideal for locating buried pipes, underground tanks or utility lines. AMS tile probes are available in two types of material: 1) high carbon stress relieved 3/8" steel rod or 2) 5/8" fiberglass.  The steel tile probes are available as a one-piece or two-piece unit with a 10" comfortably gripped cross handle (2-piece crosshandle is detachable), and an oversized ball tip for sensitivity and easy soil penetration. The 48" fiberglass tile probe features a built-in 9" fiberglass comfortably gripped cross handle and a 5/8" diameter pointed steel tip. The fiberglass shaft provides some protection from electric shock, should an electric cable be penetrated accidentally.
