and tractor to determine hay moisture content, speed of baling in terms of tonnage, how much preservative is being applied, and total tons baled. The system can also store up to 300 job records by fi eld, including the
date and time of baling, number of tons baled, product used, and overall moisture levels. Within those job records, the system also can store up to 33,000 individual bale records. Records can be downloaded via a USB port for easy and effi cient access to crucial bale data.
