Description
A moisture meter for dry hay, haylage and fresh hay. With the bale probe it measures baled hay; with the dish probe you test loose hay, for example from the row before baling, by pressing a sample into a clean bucket.
Work out the bale's density from its weight and size and enter it on the meter. It averages several readings, and you can adjust it in 0.1% steps to match a reference result. Take five readings in a big bale; one is usually enough in a small bale. Always double-check high readings in dry hay. If you find damp spots, act at once, because spoiling hay can heat up dangerously.
The meter needs a probe to work. Choose it with the bale probe, the dish probe or both, or on its own if you already have a probe.
