Note: Temperature measurement settling time varies greatly with bale type. Wet and dense gives faster settling than dry and light. Time after which 90% of temperature change has been achieved ranges typically from 8 minutes with 60% haylage, to 30 minutes with 16% straw. - Page 9 Once bale type and bale temperature have been set, moisture measurement may start: The tester asks you to push the probe into the bale. Hold the tester by the handle only. The tester estimates bale density during the push by measuring push force and probe motion.
