Accurately measure hay moisture on the move
Make your hay bales safer and work much more efficiently with the Gazeeka 870, on-baler hay moisture sensing system.
Gazeeka 870 moisture gauges not only detect areas of high moisture but mark where they are in the bale. Furthermore the 870 can work in tandem with preservative spray-applicators.
- Precision within ±0.7% of oven dried sample (cured hay only)
- 25 readings per second
- Sample area of approximately a square foot right through the bale for every reading
- Fitted with our v8 microwave module, for increased moisture range, precision and processing speed
- Instantaneous, peak and average moisture readings
- Non-contact, microwave technology that measures the number of water molecules through a large section – NOT the conductivity of the water at a small point
- User configurable bale mass input improves precision even more
- Now standard with Calibration Check Module (CCM) – giving you piece of mind that your unit is operating correctly
- High moisture level alarm in tractor cab gives you instant feedback
- Marker units fitted as standard, giving you a visual indication of wet spots at a glance
- ISObus compatible for selected balers (870i only)
- Bluetooth connectivity allows in the field, remote access for software updates and troubleshooting
Work Safer
Avoid conditions that can lead to dangerous microbial activity and spontaneous fire. Moist spots are marked on each bale in real time making potentially hazardous bales evident at a glance.
Save Time
Stop probing bales with hand-held moisture detectors and stay in the tractor cab. The real-time, instantaneous, peak and average moisture readouts give you better information without even needing to stop.
Extend your baling window
When presented with precise hay moisture readings second by second, you’ll be surprised at how much baling time you were missing out on.
Ensure Quality
Automatically record your baling moisture data and share it with the buyer.
Save Money
Some insurers offer premium reductions when using a Gazeeka hay moisture analyser.
Increase confidence
The Gazeeka 870 gives you much more detailed and consistent information about your hay than hand probing ever could with instantaneous, peak and average moisture readings taken right through each bale.
The recommended solution
The Gazeeka 870 is the recommended moisture tester for Staheli West steamers and is compatible with balers from AGCO, New Holland, Kuhn, Krone, Case iH and every other make.
These manufacturers have Gazeeka systems at their factories for rigorous testing and development to suit their baler models:
The 870 speaks for itself
No matter what make of big square baler you have, it’s hard to ignore the benefits of an 870 moisture detector. Scott Campbell was confident enough in the efficacy of Gazeeka moister sensor technology that he entirely switched away from probing bales. Here’s what he had to say:
Treat bales as you make them
G-Link Ready Gazeeka 870 moisture gauges integrate with the 485 liquid applicator system. Customisable parameters gives you control over how your hay is treated in conjunction with the hay moisture read by your Gazeeka instrument.
