A grain moisture meter that crushes the sample in its built-in grinder before measuring. That reads moisture inside the kernel too, which matters when wet grain has been dried fast and the outside looks drier than the middle. The sample is small, 9 or 18 ml, so it suits checking grain before harvest starts.
Pick the grain, fill the scoop in the cap once or twice, turn the cap until it stops, and press OK. You get the result in under 20 seconds. Each grain's scale can be adjusted to match a reference. Compare its readings with an oven test or the buyer's meter, not another quick meter.
Clean the grinder with the two brushes after every test. With oily or wet grain, grinding some dry wheat or barley afterwards makes cleaning easier. Keep it dry, and fit a new battery at the start of each season.
