What is the difference between Wile 78 & Unimeter Digital?
The Wile 78 is a more recent design of moisturmeter, however it uses the same measurement technology.
The compact and ergonomic design of the Wile 78 makes it easy to carry around such as in the combine cab.
Some people find Wile78 grinding mechanism easier than the Unimeter due to the longer and finer screw thread.
