Abstract: A soil sampling apparatus removably mountable upon a wheeled vehicle includes a mounting frame having elongated longitudinal members adapted to adjustably extend in the direction of the length of the vehicle, and paired parallel attachment members emergent from the longitudinal members and adapted to be secured to the vehicle. A center frame is vertically positionable by virtue of sliding engagement with bushings held by the longitudinal members. A bottom panel held by the center frame has an aperture and a guide tube upwardly directed from the panel in communication with the aperture. A motor slideably positioned within the center frame holds a downwardly directed auger adapted to enter the guide tube. The motor undergoes reciprocal vertical movement within the center frame by virtue of manual downward pushing and upward lifting accomplished within an operating lever.
