Testing in the Windrow
There are three ways to test moisture content in the windrow:
Test A
h Attach the #831
short pin prod to the H-4 handle and
connect the handle to the external connector on top of the
meter.
h Prepare a representative sample
by collecting hay from
various parts of the windrow.
h Place hay in a non-conductive container (such as a 5 to 10
gallon plastic pail) and apply the short pin prod to the hay.
h
Press down on the electrode
to make firm contact with the
hay sample.
h Press the read button
!
and take a reading.
h
Mix the sample once again
and take at least two more
readings. Use the highest readings.
Notes
h Whenever pressure is being applied on the electrode, be sure
that the points of the electrode are touching nothing but the
hay.
h
Repeat the steps above if considerable variations are found
in the meter readings. To reduce these variations, chop the
hay, mix it thoroughly and take several readings by follow-
ing the procedures above. This will make the moisture
distribution in the sample more uniform.
