Soil compaction tester - Dickey John

£307.00 +VAT
excluding shipping
The "industry standard" penetrometer. This robust soil compaction tester made in the USA by Dickey John gives a precise and easy measurement of your soil compaction profile.

By simply pushing the tester into the ground at different locations, this convenient, practical tool will help you find problem areas that can inhibit root growth and reduce yields. Just check the gauge to find readings of the pressure required to penetrate your soil. Comes with 2 Tip Sizes for soft and firm soils.

Compaction causes serious problems on many soils:

  • Require up to 90% more power (& more fuel) to till
  • Cause poor root development and big yield reduction
  • Causes poor natural water movement and uptake
  • Poor Fertiliser & Pesticide utilisation


Technical specifications

  • Scale:0-500psi with colour coded scale to highlight compaction issues
  • Tip sizes:3/4” for soft soil and ½” for firm soils
  • Graduated marks from 3”-24” to indicate depth
