Agronomist Open End Soil Sampler

For greenkeepers and agronomists who need a straightforward tool for daily checks, our Open End Soil Sampler is a reliable choice. Manufactured in the UK from a single piece of stainless steel, it’s built to withstand the rigours of daily use on the course.

The design is practical: a comfortable handle, a solid foot peg for easy soil penetration, and a precision-machined tube that extracts a consistent core sample. The key feature is the open-ended design. This allows the core to be removed and inspected with minimal disturbance, giving you an unobstructed view of the rootzone, thatch layer, and soil moisture.

It’s the perfect tool for making informed decisions about irrigation, aeration, and nutritional programmes. Simple, effective, and made to last.

How It Works

• Place the sampler’s tip on the area of turf you want to inspect.
• Place your foot on the foot peg and apply firm, even pressure to drive the tube into the ground.
• Twist the handle slightly and pull the sampler straight up to extract the core.
• The soil core can be easily viewed and removed from the open-ended tube for inspection.
