This measuring instrument detects forage moisture in real time during baling.
ROTO01 measures internally 25 times per second and displays an average value at a set interval. This gives the driver a clear overview of the moisture content in the bale. With AGRICO’s ROTO, you can react quickly, thus avoiding losses in feed quality or subsequent complaints right from the start. Maximum control and safety
It can be installed on the side wall of any round baler, while the system is powered by the tractor’s electrical system.

Why it’s essential to use it
By measuring the humidity percentage and temperature, you can determine the state of fermentation taking place inside forage round bales and big balers.
Make sure you store the product in barns after fermentation is complete and at the right temperature to prevent possible spontaneous combustion.
It’s a tool that absolutely all forage producers should have and use daily. It’s handy, compact, and, importantly, VERY ROBUST!
