Gouge auger model P

  This bi-partite gouge auger is different from other gouge augers in that it has a cylindrical tapered cutting head on the bottom side of the gouge that, when the auger is pushed into the soil, cuts a cylinder shaped piece from the soil. As a result the auger does not need to be revolved around its axis after being inserted as the other gouge augers need to be (less sensitive to torsion). The tapered cutting head also holds the sample better. For this auger roughly the same applications apply as for the ordinary gouge augers. This type of auger is particularly suitable for soil mapping because of its small diameter and cylindrical cutting head.
