Baler mounted moisture tester

Paul N · Jun 4, 2016

I just bought a Agratronix BHT-2 baler mounted moisture tester, and I'm ready to install. I'll be mounting it in a NH BR7060. Before I start drilling any holes, I thought the smart thing to do is to ask some of you New Holland owners, where is the best place to mount the pads. Attached, are 2 pics.It would seem to me, it should be on a place where it is just single plate, not double wall. With that in mind, looking at the tailgate picture, is just above or below the "Danger" label a good place? Looking at the inside picture, how about near the bale shape indicator. There could be some double wall problems there. If anyone has any pictures, that would be great!
Any suggestions are much appreciated.

First of all let me state that I have never installed one of these, but if I were to, I would attach it to stationary structure. That way you don't have to worry about moving wiring. Secondly you might want to consider locating it so that it will read with the minimum bale size you can make. Some where above the disc on the second photo looks like it would be a good spot because it's stationary structure That's my $0.02.
