Wintex 1000

Wintex 1000

The WINTEX 1000 is developed for sampling the top layers of the soil to be able to measure the content of micro nutrients. The depth can be adjusted infinitely from 0-25 cm. The WINTEX1000 is reliable and extremely user-friendly. All operations are easily carried out from the driver’s seat. The soil sampler only needs minimum maintenance, and the probe is easily replaced.

More about the product
The WINTEX 1000 is developed with three programs in order to work in different soil conditions. For most soils program 1 where the probe rotates consistently during sampling is the right choice. In program 2 the probe conducts an extra rotation when it has reached the desired depth which is required under special soil conditions. Program 3 is for humus-rich and light soils. The probe simply goes up and down without rotation. The soil samples are automatically filled into a box ready to be sent to the laboratory which means a fast and effective way of getting through work. If the WINTEX 1000 is used in combination with a GPS positioning system, the soil samples will be geographically registered and can later be used for variable lime rate and fertilizer maps.
