Testing in the Windrow
There are three ways to test moisture content in the windrow:
Test A
hAttach the #831 short pin prod to the H-4 handle and
connect the handle to the external connector on top of the
meter.
hPrepare a representative sample by collecting hay from
various parts of the windrow.
hPlace hay in a non-conductive container (such as a 5 to 10
gallon plastic pail) and apply the short pin prod to the hay.
hPress down on the electrode to make firm contact with the
hay sample.
hPress the read button
! and take a reading.
hMix the sample once again and take at least two more
readings. Use the highest readings.
Notes
hWhenever pressure is being applied on the electrode, be sure
that the points of the electrode are touching nothing but the
hay.
hRepeat 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.
