The sampler is extensively used in the U.S. and Canada by universities, feed companies and farmers. Exclusive arrangements with the designer and manufacturer enable us to offer this tool for the easiest and most modern method of sampling loose, baled, or chopped hay and grass silage. Available with 3/8” round shank adapter for use with electric drill (electric drill of 1/2 hp or 18V capacity is recommended). Dowel plunger is supplied with each unit to remove moist or packed samples. Shank adapters are quickly and easily removed from tube by depressing a spring-loaded plunger. Fitted with replaceable hardened cutter head and adapter. Made of stainless steel, the tube is 1-1/8” dia. x 18”L. Sampler comes with standard adapter and round shank for electric drill operation. NOTE: Because the tip for the Forage Sampler is made of a very hard, brittle steel that can be broken easily by dropping the unit or by hitting a sharp object, we cannot warranty tips — replacement tips can be purchased separately. The tip design is the secret to the success of this unit; when we change the material of design, performance of the sampler deteriorates. Please take good care of the entire unit, especially the tip.
