I am considering putting a moisture meter on the AC 442 balerthat we have. It will probably be the agratronix BHT-2 and I believe that it works off of electrical resistance between two sensors and a ground wire attached to the baler.

With the D15 II being a positive ground tracor and not a negative ground, is this going to cause a problem? I aks here before emaling or calling the manufacturer because I'm sure there is someone on here who has done this.

Your D-15 can easily be changed to 12 volt negative. You simply change the two small wires on the coil, reverse the battery cables and "flash" the generator before you start it.

If you have an ammeter, you will also need to reverse the wires on the meter.
