Grain moisture meters

[Jimbo]

On my to do list this year at lamma was to looks at grain moisture meters . Currently have an aging Wile and spaldings grinder one for testing grain into store and off dryer . Was looking for something a bit more accurate . Quite fancy one of those whole grain testers that also do grain weight aswell . At lamma we looked at the sinar 6070 which looked very well made , the dicky John mini GAC 2500 which looked like a £12 kettle out of Argos and a Perton 5800 . The perton and dicky John claming to use UGMA technology ( unified grain moisture algorithm ) . When I spoke to sinar person she seemed confused about the technology ??
So no further forward after trip to lamma . Wondered what others think about theses moisture meters ? Cheers .

I bought a Marconi and got it converted to 240v, good as anything else, i reckon.

We also use a marconi.not portable but nothing to beat it

The Dicky John is a decent bit or kit for a portable device. Moisture and bushel pretty close to merchants samples.

I’ve a sinar 6070, very good and reliable piece of kit. I get it checked and calibrated every year just before harvest.

I disagree. The Marconi is better than any of the sub £1k meters.
