Koster crop tester
Tells you when to ensile, bale, pick corn and put grain into bin or crib. Especially valuable to determine correct moisture content to help prevent combustion and the formation of fatal poisonous gases. Consists of a small portable electric drying unit that furnishes thermostatically controlled heat; a container with a screen bottom in which to weigh and dry samples; and a specially constructed scale tat shows directly the percentages of dry matter and moisture, thus eliminating arithmetic. An instruction chart is included which indicates drying time for various crops. Moisture range 15% or less for barley, shelled corn, oats, rye and wheat; 20%-25% for cob corn and hay; 45%-60% for haylage; and 60%-65% for silage. 110-120 V. AC current. Replacement thermostat and replacement scale available upon request. C08633
