Soil EC 3100

About the machine

This is the model that launched on-the-go soil mapping. With its dual-depth arrays and rugged reliability, it has become the standard for commercial EC mappers around the world. From the welded tubular steel framework of the implement to the six heavy-duty coulter-electrodes, it’s readily apparent this machine is built for hard-nosed fieldwork. And what isn’t visible is even more impressive—proven electrical arrays that are free from metal interference, along with data recording that produces the most accurate soil EC information. It easily handles tilled or untilled fields—and when it comes time to head to the next field, trailer-type hub assemblies allow it to be towed at highway speeds.

About the Maps

EC maps relate to soil texture and salinity—a fact that has been verified by extensive scientific research. Where the soil EC map shows the soil changes—you will find a change at that location.

And the mapping only needs to be done once, unless you do significant soil moving. EC maps made a decade apart show the same soil management zones.

The Veris 3100 generates two sets of maps, a topsoil map from 0-12" (30 cm) and one of the soil profile 0-36” (91 cm). While uses vary, the top layer is often used for soil sample site selection, and the deeper map for variable rate populations and nitrogen management.
