OPERATION:
The Electronic Counter automatically senses each time a reading is made and updates the average height for the paddock. No more keeping track of the number of readings or any calculations!
When you need to jump a fence or drain simply turn the electronic counter off. The readings to that point are remembered and any plate movements are ignored until you turn the Counter back on and continue.
Pressing the button instantly provides the average Pasture Cover (kgDM/ha) using your choice of equation. Standard pasture equations have been programmed into the Counter. However, there is an option to input other equations that may be more appropriate for individual properties such as recommended by local dairy advisors. At the end of the paddock record the height or cover, reset to zero and start on the next paddock.
Other features that assist day to day operation include:
- Adjustable handle - the comfortable height adjustable handle reduces the strain on your arm and helps you maintain a good measuring technique.
- Removable plate – Simply unscrew the Plate when you are transporting the Meter
