SELF-PROPELLED, TOWABLE CORING APPARATUS

摘要

A self-propelled, towable coring apparatus includes a base structure having at least one primary wheel. A rotary spindle drives a coring element. A support mechanism supports the rotary spindle and displaces the rotary spindle upwardly and downwardly relative to a ground surface. At least one engine is supported by the base structure and provides power to the at least one primary wheel to propel the apparatus, and to the rotary spindle to drive the coring element. A tow member is connected to the base structure for trailering the apparatus by a towing vehicle.
