Pickup-Powered Moisture Tester
To overcome the problem of erratic moisture readings when making haylage, Argentinean farmer Anthony Garcia built a pickup-powered moisture tester that uses exhaust heat to dry down hay samples. It mounts on the tail-gate.
He measures 100 grams of hay into a metal dish (made from a hubcap). He then runs the pickup to heat the dish, which is designed to let exhaust moisture pass right on through. After 20 min., he measures moisture loss.
