Microwave Moisture Sensors for AGCO Large Square Balers
Introducing the Microwave Moisture Sensor option for AGCO balers! The sensor will accurately read crop moisture from 6% – 70% by reading bale mosture across the width of the bale in the chamber. The non-contact microwave moisture has 2 sensor that mount at the back of Large Square bale chambers that read through the width of the bale with every stuffer stroke, giving the operator complete visibility of crop conditions.
These accurate microwave sensors can be used multiple ways, depending on your operation.
