Model 870 BALER MOUNTED MOISTURE METER
Designed and Manufactured in Australia
Benefits
- Isolate potential hot spots as you bale
- Bale without stopping to check moisture levels
- Instantaneous, Maximum (Peak) and Average moisture
- unit on both sides to mark high moisture bales
High Performance
Moisture content measured accurately and reliably.
Based on total moisture (as oven dried), not just surface (dew) moisture.

Proven Technology
Successfully operated in the cotton industry, and in coal and minerals for many years where the precision is typically 0.25% to 0.5%.
For hay, precision can be expected to be better than 1%.
For hay, precision can be expected to be better than 1%.
Non Contact
Very low energy - high frequency electromagnetic waves are transmitted between two antennae positioned in a non-contact configuration for ease of operation. The measuring "area" is approximately a square foot right through the bale at power levels less than the standards set for mobile phones.
Components
The two antennae are mounted on the baler so as to analyse the hay bale as it exits the baler. The LCD moisture display unit is mounted in the tractor cabin, providing updates every few seconds. The unit also has an audible alarm for high and low moisture levels.
Applications
Calibrated for cereal hay and legume hay. Large Balers only.
