TK100H Portable Hay Moisture Meter for Cereal Straw,bran, Forage Grass, Leymus chinensis, Emperor Bamboo Grass, Testing Fibre

Does what i need it to. Seems accurate

I am a novice hay farmer, having harvested my first hay crop this year. I found this easy to use and accurate enough for small farm use. There were many to choose from and they varied in price quite a bit. I chose this, which was on the less expensive side. I am happy with this purchase.

If you have horses or livestock that eat hay, you need to have one of these. This tool made it super easy for me to test the moisture levels of individual bales of hay. I recently bought some hay from a new hay farmer and some of the grass bales felt a little heavy. This tool quickly let me test bales and I found that some of them had over 30% moisture content! This could lead to moldy bales, or possibly even spontaneous combustion if left in a stack. Because of the moisture reader, I was able to pull the moist bales out and feed them now preventing loss of the hay from either rot or the potential for fire. I gave five stars because the while the functionality is simple, the directions leave much to be desired. There are a bunch of different functions, but I couldn't really understand what the different functions mean. I also don't know how precise this moisture reader is as I don't have any other tool to calibrate it. I don't even know if it can be manually calibrated. That being said, I could definitely tell that some of the bales were moister than others and this tool confirmed it. This tool, along with a cheap kitchen digital cooking thermometer, and you have what you need to test your hay. I'll keep this with me when I go to pick up hay so that I can test bales for moisture before going through the trouble of unloading and stacking them.

works as described, didn't have another to compare humidity level

I’m using it to test hay that I purchase . In rainy seasons it is particularly important to test the hay moisture . I have not , as of yet, been able to verify the accuracy of the moisture tester but it seems reasonable and experience will eventually validate the results . Be forewarned : the instructions are not very English friendly — somewhat hard to believe someone would be selling in the US market and not bother to get the English right .

Works as advertised, allows me to keep a close eye on moisture of my hay.

I have no idea if this product works or not. The user's manual provides three codes: 00=Straw/General 01=Guinea Grass/Clover 02=Soap Wort 03=Wheat Straw 04=???? Sadly, in my area (Central Texas, USA), I have none of these. How does one determine if it is accurately metering the grass properly? If you toggle between codes, the results vary drastically!!! Additionally, there are absolutely no calibration instructions (which are included with competing meters). I will be returning this product simply because A) I have no way of accurately determining the moisture level of my hay, thus I am unable to determine if my hay is ready to bale and 2) I do not want to risk excessive moisture levels...which can lead to combustion and burn my barn down. Ultimately, the risk outweighs the gamble and I do NOT recommend this product.

Easy to read and operate. Seems fairly accurate. Extremely helpful for beginners.

I like the small size, carry bag. Moisture number is always updated. No pause in waiting for ready to display

Facile à utiliser. Bel étui de rangement. Fonctionne bien.

Works great

Seems to be built well and is easy to use. Happy with purchase.
