I've been a customer of AMS for many… I've been a customer of AMS for many years. When I purchased the telescoping auger I wasn't real sure if I would like it. Turns out I love it and use it on 90% of my field work. So many sites that it needed new bits. So I ordered a new bucket while the original one is being sent back for refurbishing. This is a great company.

I ordered 2 probes to try out as my… I ordered 2 probes to try out as my previous soil probes from JBK Manufacting are no longer be made. The probes are good quality probes but lack the functionality - efficiency I need when sampling. The 2 available tips wet/dry don’t quite work that well in a variety of soil types which I experience daily. The tips are smaller than my previous JBK which allowed for using my finger to remove cores. These when they jam aren’t as user friendly. The windows on these new probes don’t allow the cores to “roll out” of the probe into my hand as I was accustomed to with my old probe. A slight adjustment with milling grinder would fix this as I did with mine. Lastly, I’m not a huge fan of the removable tips & handles until a better way of securing them is developed.

AMS has great customer service and products!!! AMS has great customer service, their products are built well and function as advertised. Re-ordering parts can be tricky, it is best to use their catalog and not their website if you are looking for a very specific part like a tile extension or an adapter for example. That, all in all, is a minor complaint, I still give them a five next to their competition. They also have invented gadgets to make your work efficient and easier!

Highest Quality Professional Tools AMS is THE place for soil sampling equipment, whether you are a practicing agronomist or a scientist. The quality of the tools is first class. The website has good illustrations and explanations. Ordering is easy, and I never had an order filled incorrectly. Ordered items arrive quickly and are packaged well.

Was able to find the sampling equipment… Was able to find the sampling equipment that I wanted as well as see others that I'm putting on my wish list. ;-) I haven't received the equipment yet, so I can't comment on quality. Will do so after I receive it. 10/19/23 Received our soil profile probes and am inpressed with the quality of them. Looking forward to utilizing to help our grower produce sod with a better root system for better establishment upon transplant. These probes will help to show them things can be done better.
