Regarding measuring the moisture
content.
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%.
The accuracy is very good. It depends on the density and the temperature.
- The Haymatic is calibrated for hardpressed
bales. For looser bales 2% is added on top for
adjustment]
- The Haymatic is calibrated for 22 degrees
celsius. 1% is subtracted for each 10 degrees higher, and 1% subtracted for each
10 degrees low.
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,-
I am willing to lend it out, for one week at a time
as long as my shipping fee is refunded.
Yours sincerely
Lars keller
