To check the temp of your hay, you need to leave the probe in for a minute or 2. Takes a bit for the probe to absorb the bale temp. Also, putting the probe in against the grain of the bale will give a more accurate reading. Tighter the hay is against your probe, the more accurate the reading will be. Thanks for the videos.
Monty Bussard I did test it and it’s anywhere between 2-4 percent difference. With the sensor in the bale chamber, it’s reading the outside of the bale as it goes past so it varies when testing the inside of the bale.
I was wandering about the difference between the inside and outside of the bale. 2-4 percent difference is not bad. I think I'm going to get the baler mounted one in the spring for my round baler. Thanks for sharing your video with us on RUclips.
Also I am aware that you are looking at combines I think you should look at John deeres we have a 9400 and it's awesome I bet you could find a decent 6620 at a good price but just a thought thanks for your time allis
allislover12 I did look at a 6620. I probably will stay away from Deere just because we don’t have jd dealers close by. Also I have more experience both operating and working on IH and MF. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the video always since we are cash crop farming only always enjoy videos from the other side of the business
Thank you, straightforward and easy to understand video, thank you
Push in from the ends, and not down the flakes, for proper readings. good video just improper technique, keep them coming
That's a pretty cool thing to have!! Corn is looking good!!
2022 let's go. Haha
Just bought one and baled here is Michigan . 10% avg.
Thanks!
👍🏻
Do you know the appropriate moisture meter reading for a prescribed burn?
Will it do windrows?
How does the hand held in comparison with baler mount one. Do they read about the same on bales.
Monty Bussard I was wondering the same thing.

@@PAFarms does the baler or the probe read higher percentage moister when checking the bales in field
Guess I'm old school I just check them by touch and weight.
Josh Timer yea I guess for small bales it could be unnecessary. I see a lot of guys using them for big bales.

Oh I see well wish you the best in your search for a combine
how to buy?
Interesting gadget. I'd be curious as to how close to the correct moisture we've been baling our hay at. lol
Mac Farms I guess that’s why I bought it. I didn’t want to guess what it was.
