WC Mn/Dakotas | I use gk on one for logging where i drive and sample points. The other is a clip board with a print of my zones and points. The monitor is zoomed way in and the paper is an over view and to take any notes to go into growers 3 ring binder. Some times i also have ipad and cc fv on it to have other layers on just to observe when driving around.
One thing i find is my atv is not always level to the ground, so it is nice to be able to move my probe tip forward or back (it hangs from a pivot pin). Also the distance from the ground to the probe changes depending on how you drive, so i dont think a fix stroke depth setting will work. Some times the ground is hard and it lifts the atv up, another reason for stroke changes.
Maybe its just a here thing, but i almost always need wd40 for every core and often have to scrape or brush some mud from outside or inside the probe.
I normally do 0-6". Sometimes i also do 6-12" and cut the core twice. I can go to about 16-18" max.
I like the elec as i only hear a small hyd whine when moving probe vs hearing another motor run constantly for 14 hours a day.
