[QUOTE="ERNIBIGB, post: 667640, member: 3253"] Anyone ever use a baler mounted moisture tester? I found one last winter for a cheap price so I bought it and mounted it on the baler. I'm just now getting a feel for it but it is a nice little gadget. It seems that if the readings are below 20% consistently that the hay is plenty dry. I rolled a few bales the other day that were showing in the mid 20's and could tell that they really needed to dry some more but just left them in the field a few days. Checked them in the barn today and they were fine. I'm not really sure what the "correct" moisture should be percentage wise(18 sound like a good number?) and this meter is not supposed to be 100% accurate all the time. It is interesting to watch though and notice the variations in the field. I am anxious to see how it works in the bermuda hay that I can never seem to get dry enough. I think this is when it will be most helpful for me. With some time I think I will even be able to predict what the readings are going to be. [/QUOTE]
