Wile 500 hay and silage moisture meter

Description

A meter for baled hay, haylage, straw and silage that reads moisture and temperature at the tip of its 50 cm stainless steel probe. It reads continuously as you push in, and works out the bale's density from the push, so you don't enter it yourself.

The memory holds results for 64 bales, 1,000 readings in all, with average and highest figures for each bale. Results download through the USB port, which also takes updates. You can adjust the moisture reading separately for each bale type.

Measure temperature first, as it settles more slowly than moisture. Push at least 15 cm into the bale, away from earlier holes, and average several readings. Don't push into the soft core or the flat end of a round bale. Take care not to bend the probe when pulling it out. Wipe the tip clean and dry after use, and store the meter dry and out of direct sun, with the battery out for long storage.
