The first essential step in grain grading is to obtain a correct and representative sample. Cars, trucks, wagons or barge loads should be sampled with a double tube probe in five or more places. Also used for plastics, Seedburo probes are made to conform to USDA specifications.
They are constructed from extra heavy gauge tubing for durable, time-tested sampling. All probes on this page have an outside diameter of 1-3/8", are of double-tube construction and have a heavy bronze point (unless otherwise stated). Openings are 3-3/8" L x 7/8" W.
PARTITIONED GRAIN PROBE WITH WOODEN HANDLE
Partitioned grain probes are used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and by all grain inspectors. There is a separate compartment for each individual opening. Samples from these probes can be emptied on a grain sampling canvas.
OPEN-HANDLED GRAIN PROBE
Open-ended probes without partitions are more convenient to empty and are widely used by the grain elevator operators for obtaining samples from truck loads. After sample is obtained, probe is held upright and sample is dumped from the handle.
BIN PROBES AND BAG TRIERS
Brass Grain Bin Probes and Cups can be used for all applications where samples need to be pulled from grain bins, trucks, and rail cars. Bag Triers can be used to penetrate grain bags for sampling various commodities. See link for details and part numbers.
