Hay Moisture testers

[cpubarn]

I couldn't find any info in a search on this website.  Does anyone use  hay moisture sensors?

I was looking at the Delmhorst f2000 specifically.  Able to use as a probe or mount a sensor on baler.

Also if you use one, what moistures do you use for "safe" to bale grass hay or alfalfa...


Thanks in Advance.

Hi, We have used a moisture tester for the past 7 years.  I am not sure what model it is but you can mount it in a baler
or use a probe.  It has been a long time since we used one in the round baler we normally just use the probe since we
do alot of small square bales.  When we do round bales we like the moisture to not go over 16 average.  For the small
squares for horse hay we don't  go over 14 average.  Gail
