This unit gets two thumbs up from field users! The Geoprobe® Model 540B direct push machine, one of Geoprobe's® most versatile utility units, has all of the standard features of its truck cousins, but uses a compact, skid-steer loader as the carrier/power source. It's small enough for tight places, but heavy enough for tough probing.

It's a great unit for rough terrain and limited access probing. It has all the movement features of truck-mounted Geoprobe® machines, including hydraulic extension in and out from the carrier unit, hydraulic tilt for angle probing, and power lateral movement. The Model 540B comes equipped with remote ignition and hydraulic quick connects for easy connection to the unit's hydraulics.
