You can probe and read, but you can't move it while reading, which is very useful at times. Sometimes when we are baling right at dawn you can get a little too much dew moisture on the top of the windrow, if that is the only place you probe you'll think it is too wet. Move the probe in or out 2" and it might drop below 10, nice to be able to read that. Or a green stem or two can fool you if you hit right on it.
We bale a lot of export hay that needs to be dry, but they want good leaf retention which only happens if you bale with good dew, so accurate moisture readings are very crucial.
I've tried on the baler meters, none work at. The ones on the new Hesston big balers are supposed to be good though. | |
