Folding pasture plate meter

manual

An accurate, robust and easy-to-use rising plate pasture meter for measuring pasture cover in grass paddocks. The unique folding handle design and removable plate also make the Filip’s Manual Folding Plate Meter easy to transport, store and carry between paddocks. The hand-calibrated aluminium plate produces highly repeatable results for accuracy that’s second only to cutting, drying and weighing pasture samples, a method that’s impractical on-farm. The result is a series of accurate measurements of grass height that also accounts for any variation in pasture density. Two simple counters total the meter readings taken and count the number of individual readings, allowing quick and easy calculation of an average reading for each paddock. A comprehensive instruction handbook is included with each Filip’s Manual Folding Plate Meter. In addition, All-Weather Notebooks, a Carry Bag, Pasture Management Software and Electronic Plate Counters are available separately as Optional Extras. Instructions on how to convert rising plate pasture meter readings to pasture cover and pasture dry matter values can be found in the handbook or on the Feed Budget Cycle page. Also available with electronic plate counters as the Filip’s Electronic Folding Plate Meters. The electronic plate counters can be purchased separately as upgrade kits for any existing Filip’s Folding Plate Meter.
