On The Go Moisture Tester For Combines COMBINES Accessories 15-2-2 An electronic, automatic moisture tester that's been used for five years on grain dryers has now been adapted for use on combines.
Developed by DMC , the Calc-U-Dri's stainless steel sensor simply mounts neat the top of the combine's clean grain auger. It consists of a metal "fin" that extends into the auger. As grain is augered past the sensor, it reads moisture using electrical resistance and sends a reading to a control box in the cab, which can be set to give an audio or visual alarm when moisture reaches a preset limit.
"It saves time at harvest. Moisture con-tent can vary greatly between varieties or even fields and this lets you get a quick reading without having to climb up to take a sample. One farmer, who had two fields side by side with different moisture levels, used the Calc-U-Dri to blend the beans, alternating fields as he combined," says DMC.
Sells for $1,200.
