Need A Device For Windrow or Baled Hay?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9267 size-medium aligncenter\" style=\"color: #555555;\" src=\"https:\/\/sandcreekfarm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/using-hay-moisture-tester-e1667510707704-300x183.webp\" alt=\"using hay moisture tester\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandcreekfarm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/using-hay-moisture-tester-e1667510707704-300x183.webp 300w, https:\/\/sandcreekfarm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/using-hay-moisture-tester-e1667510707704.webp 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/p>\n<p>Determine whether you are in need of a device to test moisture in the windrow or of baled hay as there might be differences between them.<\/p>\n<p>If there is loose hay in the windrow, it is best to buy a device that has a meter that employs an electrode with a disc-shaped prod.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because there are <strong>numerous open holes of air in loose hay<\/strong>, and the multiple pin-points of a probe such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Delmhorst-F2000-Moisture-Meter-Tester\/dp\/B00EX9SLMS\/?tag=sandfarm-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Delmhorst F2000<\/strong><\/a> can fix.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, hay bales are compatible with a long, reinforced prod as they can reach the interior of the bale to generate a result of moisture conditions deep inside of the bale.<\/p>\n<p>The length of the prod should be at least \u00bd to 2\/3 the thickness of the hay bales.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Read more:<\/strong> <a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/sandcreekfarm.net\/what-is-hay-made-of-comparison-between-hay-straw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"\u201cWhat is Hay made of? Comparison between Hay &amp; Straw\u201d (Edit)\">What is Hay made of?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>2. Construction Of The Meter\u2019s Casing<\/h3>\n<p>Even the most rugged farming tools and equipment might not last long under the harsh conditions in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, it is advised to be mindful of what equipment you plan to bring out there.<\/p>\n<p>When comparing hay meters, don\u2019t forget to check the casing and whether it is heavy and strong or light and poorly made.<\/p>\n<p>As the internal components of the moisture tester are quite sensitive, hence <strong>only secure meter cases can be a good shield<\/strong> for them in front of the rigors of farming work and avoid related damages.<\/p>\n<h3>3. The Meter\u2019s Moisture Range<\/h3>\n<p>A hay moisture tester should be able to measure moisture across the recommended range for your particular type of hay bale with a 100% level of accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>The optimum moisture content of a hay bale is affected by the type of forage and bale density, however, you might find the most common ranges below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small square bales: 18-20% MC<\/li>\n<li>Large square bales: 12-16% MC<\/li>\n<li>Round bales: 15% MC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No matter what type of tester you would like to purchase, please make sure that its meter can detect moisture over a range of 8% to 30% MC exactly.<\/p>\n<p>Also, check that it gets accurate readings of actual measurements rather than just a result showing that the hay is under or below the % MC range.<\/p>\n<h3>4. For Baler-Mounted Testers, Check The Continuous Mode<\/h3>\n<p>If you have to check the hay moisture while you are baling, without an appropriate meter, you might have to leave the cab of your tractor a lot.<\/p>\n<p>The meter you need to search for is one with a <strong>continuous mode<\/strong> to measure hay in a baler. Then you don\u2019t have to go anywhere and just keep your eyes on the moisture conditions of your hay bales.<\/p>\n<h3>5. The Meter\u2019s Calibration<\/h3>\n<p>Even the best moisture tester might not be able to work well after years. To make sure that the results you receive are correct, you should follow the simple and convenient below to check the meter\u2019s calibration.<\/p>\n<p>For a hay meter, you can use either a <strong>Moisture Content Standard (MSC)<\/strong> or a built-in calibration check.<\/p>\n<p>An MCS is a tool whose function is to provide a specific reading value when linked to a moisture sensor probe. If the reading result is not the same as the value, then it is possible the meter is off-calibration and needs a fix.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Built-in checks have the same functions as an MCS, but there is no need to have an external device which is a moisture sensor probe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>6. The Warranty<\/h3>\n<p>You should find the warranty written in a way that is simple and understandable.<\/p>\n<p>They should also state clearly what is and isn\u2019t included, covered, and how repairs or replacements will be dealt with.<\/p>\n<p>That means the manufacturer understands its product and knows that its product is of high quality.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, if you find the warranties doublespeak with a lot of exemptions for daily use, there is a high chance you might not receive the expected service and support as promised.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to help you find the best supplier is to <strong>look for other customers\u2019 reviews <\/strong>and find out how the manufacturers have handled warranty service.<\/p>\n<p>By this, you can have a bigger picture of the company\u2019s service and support and the quality of the product itself.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Description Of Usage Or Training Course<\/h3>\n<p>It is not difficult to differentiate between a good manufacturer and an excellent manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>And that is in how they provide customers with instructions.<\/p>\n<p>A good toolmaker might write very detailed and comprehensive online product manuals.<\/p>\n<p>An excellent manufacturer might even produce a tutorial or even a training course on how to use the product to make sure you have no difficulties with it at the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>You can go to their website to find out online manuals, brochures, videos, or training courses offered by moisture meter manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing whether it is easy or difficult to use a piece of equipment can also affect your decision.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How To Test Moisture In Hay Bales?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to test hay bale moisture before putting it into the silo and each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n<h3>1. By Hand<\/h3>\n<p>This is considered one of the oldest methods to assess the moisture content and quality of their produce.<\/p>\n<p>Its convenience is that you don\u2019t have to use any tool but your own hands.<\/p>\n<p>With this method, farmers take a <strong>handful of hay out of the bale, and twist or rub them together<\/strong> in their hands.<\/p>\n<p>When they open their hands, they will see how dry or moist the hay is and whether the hay can hold its shape or not.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is not a perfect option. Why?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need to accumulate experience in order to be able to feel the hay by hand and give a correct reading of the bale\u2019s moisture content.<\/li>\n<li>Even if you are an experienced farmer, the random bundle cannot represent the whole bale. Most farmers often test the surface sample rather than the core hay in the bale and it is always affected by the weather.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, if what you want is just a <strong>general assessment<\/strong> of the bale, it can give you a very quick guess.<\/p>\n<h3>2. By Oven Drying Test<\/h3>\n<p>There are a number of different oven-dry tests using different kinds of oven\/heating elements, including convection ovens, microwave ovens, and even in-field testing apparatuses.<\/p>\n<p>However, it doesn\u2019t matter which kind of oven you are testing, the process to find out the moisture content is quite the same:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Weigh the hay sample before drying.<\/li>\n<li>Dry the hay (this task can take 20-40 minutes, subject to the drying method and overall moisture of the hay). Sometimes you might need to keep drying the hay until the weight is fixed.<\/li>\n<li>Weigh the dry hay to have the \u201cdry weight.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Divide the dry weight by the wet weight, and convert it to a percent number. Subtract this number from 100 to have the moisture percentage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you prioritize accuracy, this is what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>However, the inconvenience is that sometimes <strong>it can take you hours or even days<\/strong> to assess the moisture.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you use the convection oven drying method, it might take you 24 hours to dry out the hale at 165\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p>Yet with an already baked hale, you don\u2019t have to worry about the time except when it is rainy. Then your previous assessment will be of no use.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, in case you want to have a reliable result for your hay bales, you might want to take a large enough sample size.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended to take samples from different bales, which is not practical at all, especially when you have to make a lot of hay bales within a short time.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

You put the probe in the hay bale, switch it on and the device will do the assessment for you.<\/p>\n<p>There are many moisture testers like this that can generate results within seconds.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>FAQs about Hay Moisture Tester<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>1. What is the ideal moisture content of hay?<\/h3>\n<p>In general, the optimum moisture content of hay should be in the range of 18-20% if you do not use preservatives.<\/p>\n<p>If you use chemicals to preserve the hay, check and follow the manual for the ideal moisture content.<\/p>\n<p>Be aware that the moisture level depends on the bale shape.<\/p>\n<p>For small square bales, the moisture content should be kept from 18 to 20%. Those bales are often light, not dense packing, and inherently highly tolerant to moisture.<\/p>\n<p>For large square or round bales which are packed more densely, the recommended humidity is between 12-16%.<\/p>\n<h3>2. How do you test hay for moisture?<\/h3>\n<p>You can test the hay moisture content by hand, an oven, or a moisture tester.<\/p>\n<p>Manual testing requires high experience and is often inaccurate. Using an oven gives you a more accurate result, but still, the process is complicated.<\/p>\n<p>The most efficient way is to use a moisture tester which shows the moisture content in a few seconds.<\/p>\n<h3>3. How do I know if my hay is dry enough to bale?<\/h3>\n<p>After 5-7 days of drying, you can use a moisture tester to check if your hay is dry enough to bale.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the traditional method to check. To do so, break the stems or twist them to see if they break and crack cleanly.<\/p>\n<p>If yes, it is a sign that your hay is ready to bale. For more accuracy, double-check the hay with a moisture tester.<\/p>\n<h3>4. How long should hay sit before baling?<\/h3>\n<p>If it is good weather and the sun is at its peak, at around 11 AM., you should let your hay sit about 1-2 hours before baling.<\/p>\n<h3>5. How accurate are hay moisture testers?<\/h3>\n<p>A good moisture tester, if used properly and stored in good condition, will be one of the most reliable and accurate ways to determine the moisture content of the hay.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Does hay moisture increase after baling?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes and No.\u00a0 Depending on the temperature, air humidity, and exposure to weather, the hay moisture can either increase or decrease after baling.<\/p>\n<p>So, to keep the hay bales at the best quality, store them properly.<\/p>\n<h3>7. How fast does hay dry?<\/h3>\n<p>The drying time depends on your purpose of baling, the weather, and the amount of hay you want to dry.<\/p>\n<p>If you dry hay for making fodder, it takes about 24 hours or less because haylage is stored at higher humidity.<\/p>\n<p>If hay is dried for baling, in good weather, it usually takes about 3 to 5 days.<\/p>\n<h3>8. How do you calibrate a hay moisture tester?<\/h3>\n<p>First, select a standard level, let\u2019s say 18% as the standard for the calibration. Some testers might default to a preset number whenever they are switched on, so you have to change it.<\/p>\n<p>Then, run one or two calibration tests on the tester. To do this, there will be buttons to press, just follow the sequence. Or, you can use the calibration block. Always check the manual before using it.<\/p>\n<p>Switch the tester off if it is showing strange results. Clean the sensor plate or probes. Switch it on again, and make sure that it is at the new set point.<\/p>\n<p>You can do one more calibration test for more accuracy.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>In A Nutshell<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What purpose and what type of hay you\u2019re planning to test?
