<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regarding measuring the moisture
content.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Recently I have bought a "Haymatic Standard"
moisture meter. It has a 50cm long spike to stick into the bales. It measures in
the range 13% to 50%.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The accuracy is very good.</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2> It depends on the density and the temperature.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- The Haymatic is calibrated for hardpressed
bales.</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> For looser bales 2% is added on top for
adjustment]</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- The Haymatic is calibrated for 22 degrees
celsius. 1% is subtracted for each 10 degrees higher, and 1% subtracted for each
10 degrees low.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My estimate is, that it will cost around
Euro 30,- to send it anywhere throughout Europe, one way. The
equipment itself costs app. Euro 350,-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am willing to lend it out, for one week at a time
as long as my shipping fee is refunded.</FONT></DIV>
