HX700 Instant Hay Moisture Tester

Description

The Instant Answer for Hay Moisture, From Windrow to Barn

Damp hay ferments or rots in storage; over-dried hay loses quality and weight, and weight is money in every hay transaction. The HX700 delivers instant moisture readings in bales and windrows, so baling timing, storage decisions, and buying or selling all happen with a number instead of a guess.

Solving Hay Moisture Challenges

• Slow Laboratory Methods: Instant electrical resistance measurement calibrated against the reference oven method, with standard error of 1.0% at moisture values of 20% or lower, across an 8 to 30% range
• Hidden Moisture in the Stack: The long probe reads inside bales and windrows where damp spots start, without breaking bales open
• Screening at Volume: Set the buzzer alarm anywhere from 10 to 39% to flag wet bales instantly, and average readings across a lot for storage and pricing decisions
• Matching Your Reference Results: Moisture correction from −9.9 to +9.9% aligns field readings with your laboratory or your trading partner’s numbers

Built for Hayfields and Barns

At 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) with six AA batteries and automatic power off, the HX700 rides along at baling, at loading, and at the stack. The shoulder strap and carrying case handle daily transport. Backed by the One-Year Total Care Warranty covering parts, labor, and specification compliance.

Testing hay cubes instead of bales? The HB300 Universal Moisture Tester with Hay Cube Calibration uses a four-needle probe made for compressed alfalfa cubes.
