Here are the differences in strippers and pickers. Location. Strippers are ran in drier areas that typically support smaller cotton plants. Pickers are used in rainier areas such as the south where cotton plants grow bigger and yield better. Header Difference. The Stripper heads have bats and brushes which strip everything off the plant except for the stalks. The picker has spindles which pick the cotton fiber off the plant. A cotton bale from a stripper would grade worse than a picker bale because the picker is only taking the lint and seed not the burs and excessive trash that comes with stripped cotton. Picked fields will still have some lint left on the plant whereas the stripper fields look much more bare. Realistically in Missouri you would run a picker not a stripper but that is totally up to you. Hope that helps.
Appreciate the information! Selfishly I gravitated to the stripper because it's got a much wider header which means I'll harvest quicker but we'll see how things go, it might make more sense to just run multiple pickers.
Looking forward to seeing play on this map with the big equipment, You ought to make a super farm with it. That would really be nice to see ! Thanks for sharing the video !
My family runs a tractor on the grain cart with no pto you just replace the pto shaft with a hydraulic motor instead it’s slower but better then buying a new tractor
Hate to hear about the trouble on Taheton, I was wondering what happened to the video releases. I'm still playing on the rcr version and really enjoying it. If you don't mind me asking, what happened?
I ran into an issue where no matter what I did anytime I advanced time forward past the end of the month that I was in, I'd get errors while trying to save field data and my save would end up in an unplayable state. I could restore to a previous save but no matter how far back I went anytime I'd move time forward past a certain point the game would get into a state where it couldn't save anymore. I suspect it was a side effect of using the Anhydrous Ready version of Precision Farming. In hindsight I should have just used the regular version of PF with the Anhydrous Add-On mod but I decided to give this other version a try since it was recommended by the map author. Live and learn.
Whilst not as big as the Balzer I don’t think. The 45t and 60t Coolamon chaser bins are good for big fields and a little different style than Brent / Demco / kinze etc. Would colour match well to your US Claus for OCD 😂
The Balzer is definitely oversized for our current operation. Unfortunately with the auger issue I keep having I'm worried I'm going to have to swap out the CLAAS combines.
It does seem to be an ongoing issue. I'm going to have to do some testing and swap out the combine most likely which is very unfortunately because I like how they look.
Hmmm I'd like to know how your running a grain cart on a tractor that has no P.T.O.? Besides the obvious farm sim magic. The 747 Big Bud never had a P.T.O. like a lot of the old 70's - mid 80's articulated 4 wheel drive tractors most were what they called a bare back very few had 3-points let alone a PTO.
Doh, well that's a little embarrassing... You raise an excellent point sir! Guess we'll be switching that to another job next episode. I wish FS was smarter about stuff like that, I made it so that you can't run equipment with a PTO if the tractor doesn't have it in American Farming.
One thing git rid of the big bud junk pile.they are the most useless tractors on the market.they have no PTO.even a new Holland would be better as they are owned by case

This looks to be a good series. Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks, I'm excited to try some new stuff out!
I live in SE missouri and at least where i live, every other year, all there is is cotton xD. Worst time of the year for allergies
Great start, looking forward to this series. That Big Bud and Grain Cart looks awesome.

I am planning to do more farm building and check out a lot of the new placables I've seen coming out recently
Really excited to see this new play through. Great replacement for taheton county
Dumb question how do you use a big bud with a grain cart since the big bud does not have a PTO?
My family runs a tractor on the grain cart with no pto you just replace the pto shaft with a hydraulic motor instead it’s slower but better then buying a new tractor
FarmSim invented these new invisible PTO's that seem to work great! ;-)
The yellow/orange Claas combines are mainly a U.S. thing and it is weird that they got rid of that since they are made in Nebraska
Excited to watch this series! Southeast missouri actually has more cotton than you think at least around me.
True, I think this map is based Northwest but it'll do.
I was having this issue with course play in general the other day. I had to set them up to stop to unload

Not sure in what part of Missouri this is based but here in SE Missouri cotton and beans is about all we grow.
I *think* this map is based in NW Missouri but I'm going to just pretend I don't know that and grow cotton anyway. :)
@@KederkFarms that's what simulation is all about dude! Great content as always!
Im kinda new to the channel is there a list of mods that you use on this play through?
I haven't posted a mod list for this series yet but I'll try and work on that. For my other series I have posted mod lists on my discord server.
Love the map, but when I try to load it, I'm stuck at 60%. Has anyone else run into map loading issues?
Cant wait for the next episodes .

Actually lots of cotton is raised in southeast Missouri.
Great video if you don't mind me asking are you continuing the umrv let's play
Yes! Going to take UMRV to 100 episodes at least just to say I did it :)
Wat mod lets u know the the bpa
It's called Vehicle HUD Extension by ThundR. You can find it on his itch.io page.
@@KederkFarms thank u
Mine did the same thing on the combine I kept having to deactivate cp
It does seem to be an ongoing issue. I'm going to have to do some testing and swap out the combine most likely which is very unfortunately because I like how they look.
@@KederkFarms I can’t wait to see ur vids on this series

@@KederkFarms manual attach mod would of prevented that but as we know that mod seems to cause other issues. Lol
Is this map on consoles?
No, I believe this is a 4x map and not able to being brought to console.
Premium dlc crops are gonna consume the whole map.
One thing git rid of the big bud junk pile.they are the most useless tractors on the market.they have no PTO.even a new Holland would be better as they are owned by case
They were very good tractors when they were new as there was no purpose to have a pto on a large articulated tractor
The 747 was built for ripping up cotton fields. No pto required.
