Based on the design of the market leading AM5200-A, the AM5200-Farm uses the same UGMA technology and calibrations as the official testers. Producers can now be assured of accurate on-farm grain moisture measurements.

Stop over-drying, save dryer costs and match the moisture of the local elevator.
✔️ Test hot grain from the dryer – No waiting for grain to cool
✔️ Fast & accurate – Moisture, test weight, & temperature in 25 seconds
✔️ Simple operation – Pour and GO

What can a quality moisture meter do for your farm?

  • Protect your grain when storing by reducing risk for mold and toxin growth by knowing the real, accurate moisture content.
  • Optimize grain drying by monitoring moisture values in essentially real-time on hot grain. Allows you to hit the optimum moisture value without the time and expense of over-drying.
  • Since the AM 5200-Farm uses the same, new technology as the USDA, elevators, and terminals, there will be no surprises at delivery.

Customer Review

"Just to let you know the moisture meter is paying itself back immediately. I was drying rape and the new meter allowed me to reduce the drying time significantly compared to using the old meter. Very pleased with it.



It’s a Protimeter I’ve always had and even when I calibrate it every year, it always tended to read higher than actual, especially for rape. When I got the Perten and checked the first drier batch, it showed 7.7% whereas the Protimeter read 8.8%. So I ended up cutting back the next cycle by 1 hour whereas based on the Protimeter I would have increased the next batch by 30 mins.

The results were validated at the grain store with all the loads since getting the Perten were about 8.5% but the loads before were in the 7.5% range! I did about 10 batches before getting the Perten and then another 10 batches after.

So you can estimate that probably saved me 15 hours drying alone. Factor in the diesel cost, electricity cost (24 tonne drier), and time.
