ABSTRACT:
A soil sampling device secured to a vehicle for taking soil samples while the vehicle is moving is provided with a housing having a first and second portion. The first portion has a chamber extending outwardly therefrom and the second portion has a soil inlet opening. Soil retaining baffles are disposed within the second portion adjacent the soil inlet opening. The housing is pivotally connected to a mounting bar and brace, which is secured to the vehicle. A hydraulic piston rotates the housing so that the second portion strikes the ground and a small portion of soil is injected into the inlet opening and retained by the soil retaining baffles. The housing is rotated and the captured soil is directed to the chamber whereupon the soil sampler is in position to take another soil sample.
