AgraTronix and Farmcomp Purchased the Grain Tester Manufacturer “Skuttle” in 1982
Before AgraTronix and Farmcomp bought the tiny company named Skuttle in 1982, all operations were located in a small house in Canfield, Ohio. Soldering and assembly was performed in the living room/dining room, storage in the bedrooms, packing in kitchen and shipping out the back door. The company made one product, a hand-held moisture tester for grain, which they called the Skuttle Moisture Tester. The original Skuttle was a simple analog electronic circuit wired to a couple of aluminum plates in a square, wood box. Testing was a complicated, multi-step procedure. Grain to be tested was poured into a slot between the metal plates. The appropriate metal dial plate with markings for moisture percent for the grain type being tested was mounted under a knob. The knob was turned to adjust an analog meter to its lowest reading. At this point, the knob pointed to the correct moisture on the metal plate.
“Customers wanted a more user-friendly product with a straightforward, direct, digital readout. If we could manage this, our company would be off to a great start. Our engineers were able to redesign the tester’s electronics to provide customers what they wanted. The original Skuttle tester was replaced by our digital Moisture Master. Customers loved the new model. That was the beginning of our customer-driven, engineering company.”
