Understanding soil compaction is critical to healthy turf, productive fields, and consistent growing conditions. Designed as a modern evolution of the traditional dial penetrometer, the SpotOn® Digital Soil Compaction Meter delivers precise, repeatable readings with the durability professionals expect from Innoquest Inc..
Built for Accuracy Across All Soil Types
At the heart of the SpotOn® Digital Soil Compaction Meter is an electronic load cell design that accurately measures compaction in all soil conditions—without the need to change cone sizes. This streamlined approach not only saves time in the field but also ensures consistent readings while fully meeting the ASABE S313.3 Soil Compaction Standard.
The 0.505″ hardened steel cone and stainless-steel shaft are engineered for long-term reliability. Depth markings every 4 inches (10 cm) make it easy to record compaction at precise levels below the surface, supporting better analysis and informed decision-making.
Smart Digital Readings, Instantly
Unlike analog meters that require interpretation, the SpotOn® Digital Soil Compaction Meter does the work for you. When the probe is extracted from the soil, the peak compaction value is automatically captured and displayed on the large, easy-to-read digital screen.
Readings can be displayed in PSI or kPa, giving flexibility across applications and regions. To simplify interpretation even further, the meter features a green / yellow / red color-coded severity indicator, allowing users to quickly assess compaction levels at a glance.
Designed for Professionals in the Field
Whether you’re managing turf, evaluating soil health in agriculture, or conducting research, this meter is designed for efficiency and clarity:
- No tip changes required
- Clear depth reference markings
- Instant peak-value capture
- Visual severity indication for fast decisions
A Modern Upgrade to a Proven Tool
The SpotOn® Digital Soil Compaction Meter combines the familiarity of a penetrometer with the advantages of modern digital technology—offering durability, accuracy, and ease of use in one rugged instrument.
For professionals who need reliable soil compaction data they can trust, this tool delivers clarity where it matters most: below the surface.
