Agratronix Advanced Hay Straw And Silage Moisture Tester With Durable 20" Probe

This is a little more involved to use than our JD tester (also made by Agratronix), but accuracy is worth it! Customer service is excellent!

Temperature is very slow to register compared with temperature probe we use. Talked with Nicole in technical support: Asked for help finding the software on the website for the USB data transfer There are no updates available for this tester. It’s a brand new unit that just came out. Still on first version of software. It’s not on the website because it doesn’t exist. MH - On your scale, you have 5 settings (hay/halage, straw, hay silage, corn silage, alfalfa) we would like to create 3 new settings of our own 6-7-8 based on our product variances & densities. Answer: The unit was not designed to have anything other than the 5 programed scales. You can’t program anything on this product. The product we are testing has different densities and higher moistures. We don’t want to apply a different moisture offset to corn silage scale as we move from one density to the other. If we have our own 6-7-8, I would use the 6 scale for one product density, 7 scale for a different product density and 8 for the other. Right now, I have to use the corn silage for all our products and make adjustments for the different densities which isn’t efficient. I’d like to have my own 6-7-8 scale so as I move from one density to another I just select 6, 7 or 8 like others do moving from hay to straw or silage (the 5 scales). Answer - Again the unit is not programable for you to enter your own scales. You would need to select the one of the 5 scales we offer an make a moisture offset if needed. In summary, we cannot program this unit and are limited to the 5 pre-programed scales they have provided. She recommended using the scale that represents the closest to our product and use the moisture offset if needed.
