Soil sampler
Concord Environmental Equipment has introduced a new automatic soil sampler.
The series 2000 auger is designed to mount on all-terrain vehicles.
The robotic arm allows the operator to take the soil sample, retrieve it and place it in a labeled sample box without leaving the seat of the ATV.
The sampler is powered by a 6.5 horsepower Honda gasoline engine. It is designed to sample frozen, dry or wet soils. It can be used with global positioning system equipment.

Chain saw recall
Stihl Ltd. has announced a recall of all model 029 and 039 chain saws manufactured since December 1992.
The recall is to replace the gas caps. Stihl changed the gas cap design in 1994, but models made earlier than that could have caps that don’t properly tighten and could leak gas, increasing the risk of fire.
All 029 and 039 models should be returned to a Stihl dealer for free cap replacement. The model number is located on the top of the saw’s engine.
Also, a collar on the spark plug boot will be removed to make it easier to ensure a tight connection with the plug terminal.
For more information contact a Stihl dealer or phone 519-681-3000.
