An accurate and robust electronic rising plate pasture meter for measuring pasture cover in grass paddocks that’s straightforward to use and simple to understand. The unique folding handle design and removable plate also make the Filip’s Electronic Folding Plate Meter EC-09 easy to transport, store and carry between paddocks.
The EC-09 Electronic Plate Counter automatically records each reading and displays values for number of samples taken, plus average pasture height and cover. Different pasture cover calculation formulas can be entered and selected, with the selected formula remaining in use until changed. All data and records are retained when the counter is switched off.
Jenquip Pasture Management Software and a comprehensive instruction handbook are included with each Filip’s Electronic Folding Plate Meter. The software is supplied on CD for use with Windows XP or later versions. Software for earlier Windows versions or on floppy discs can be supplied on request.
In addition, Carry Bags are available separately as Optional Extras.
Example pasture cover formulas for entering into the EC-09 Electronic Plate Counter can be found in the handbook or on the Feed Budget Cycle page.
Also available without the EC-09 Electronic Plate Counter as the Filip’s Manual Folding Plate Meter. The EC-09 Electronic Plate Counter can be purchased as a separate upgrade kit for any existing Filip’s Folding Plate Meter.
