Coastal Hay - Ideal Moisture Content Range - Ideal Temperature Range

In addition to the hand break method to test my hay and I am going to purchase a Delmhorst F2000 with 18" probe to test the moisture in windrows and in first two bales.   I am baling round bales

 

My questions:

 

What is the ideal moisture range before raking?

 

 

What is the ideal moisture range in a windrow before baling coastal?

 

 

What is the ideal moisture range in a round bale? (immediately after baling)

 

 

What is the ideal temperature range in a round bale?

 

 

Decided against the Agritronix which could be sold under the label John Deere, New Holland, etc, for the unit only has a 1 year warranty.

 

Thanks,

 

 

Mark
