FieldScout - Model SC 900 - Soil Compaction Meter - Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Field Scout SC 900 Soil Compaction Meter. This manual describes the features and operation of the meter. Soil compaction prevents moisture penetration, reduces fertilizer and chemical uptake and hinders plant root growth. In some cases, yield losses can run as high as 30% due to compaction. This electronic soil compaction meter is the most versatile compaction meter on the market. Soil depth readings are determined by a sonic depth sensor. Cone index values are measured by a load cell sensor and can be displayed in PSI or kPa.
