[QUOTE="novaman, post: 667715, member: 2744"] I agree with not wanting to bale to test the moisture. However, all handhelds I have seen are designed to be inserted in a bale as it requires tightly packed hay in order to be accurate. As far as moisture levels, I've been told that anything up to 18% is good, 18-24% is ok but caution should be used, and anything above 24% is a big no no. I'm sure it depends on the type of crop being baled. Unless I'm in a pinch with rain or the like I never bale over 16%. [/QUOTE]
