About the Leica DISTO series

Three things you can expect from all laser distance meters in Leica DISTO range of very accurate handheld, state-of-the-art devices:

DISTO meters connect to apps via Bluetooth for organising and sharing measurements.
All DISTO laser distance measuring devices are individually tested and come with a calibration certificate.
Measuring distance is easy. Place any DISTO meter at point A, press the ON/DIST button and aim at point B. Press the ON/DIST button again to measure the distance between the two points. That’s it – it’s that simple!

Leica DISTO Laser Distance Meters – Basic

The “basic” DISTO laser distance meter models offered by Leica are anything but basic. They are powerful distance measuring devices offering functions and modes that make laser distance measuring a breeze.

The three Leica Laser Distance Meters featured below are for indoor use by professionals such as:

8 Must-Have Grain and Hay Moisture Meters

2:59 AM | 10 Nov 2021

Grain and hay quality is profoundly affected by moisture content. High moisture, especially when paired with high temperatures, increases the risk of mould, mycotoxins, and insect infestation. Therefore, monitoring the moisture content within hay, grains, straw, pulses, and oilseeds is essential for growers, buyers, and processors in the agricultural industry.

To help you find the best grain or hay moisture meter for harvesting season, our scientists have compiled a list of the top grain and hay moisture meters currently available at Instrument Choice.
