    Which hand held grain moisture meter?

    Currently got a Sinar Agripro 6095, and to be polite, it's results can be variable. Just put a new battery in, sampling at exactly same place in heap, just 5 mins difference and the results can be 2% out. Can trust it, so any recs? Must be portable, not keen on those Prontimeter grinder ones
