Just started playing farming simulator 17 recently, and it's the first sim I've played seriously. I've been having a lot of fun playing, and have appreciated your archive of videos.
Awesome! Arthur's first FS17 tutorial. Another great video. The FS15 silage tutorial is what prompted me to subscribe to the channel a couple of years ago. Thank-you Arthur for years of info and LOTS of fun. God Bless you and your family.P.S. it was a blast watching Mater run around the farm the other as well as your other kids.
Omg i been shoveling my pits to sell for the last few hours im off to buy those conveyors asap.. Thank you for all your vids i play on real time over 200 hours now and have made good progress and had loads of fun great game and you have given me good guidence thank you..
When you turn the wheels sideways on that last belt, you can then hire a worker, and he will move the unit side to side to spread out the pile you are creating. You can set the size of the arc with the degree setting. Not real useful for silage, but if you are just making a pile on the ground or in a storage shed, you can make a nicer pile.
The best way to set up the belt thingys is to place the one that picks it up from the ground first and then the one that can reach very high up so you set out those 2 first and THEN you get out the middle peice because its so flexible since you can move it in all kinds of ways
In my opinion this whole silage levelling/compressing stuff is nice if you are into doing such fiddly tasks. But if you want to be most effective, the best way of levelling and compressing is during filling. I always compress the load I fill in - usually I have the Strautmann Collection Wagon which can hold 50K or the Krone chaff-wagon you mentioned. These trailers are heavy enough that about 3-4 passes will compress the load (The first 2-3 loads may need 4 or 5 passes to compress, but the more the silo gets filled, the faster a single load will compress ). You can reduce the need of leveling if you set your cruise control to a value so that the unloading makes a straight pile from one end to the other (or to the half if it is a long silo). But how can you know which value to set. You can simply do it by try and error or a bit more sophisticated: fill your trailer up till it is full. Then go out on a field and force dump it at maybe 15 kph ( the speed doesn't really matter - it is just easier to get the mess cleaned up when you have a line you can go over with your collection wagon than just one huge pile) but what matters is the time your trailer needs to unload fully. Remember that time and then go to the silo. Now take your fully loaded trailer and set any cruise speed and let drive thrugh the silo. Was it longer than the unloading time, you have to go faster. Was ist less, than you have to go slower. Try this till your speed setting let's drive you from one end to the other in the same time your wagon needs to unload. Then dump - 1. dump on one side - compress - 2. dump on the other side - compress - 3. dump in the middle - compress - first layer leveled out. and compressed ;)
I figured out how to get a nice level pile in the silage pit after messing around with a leveler and following some of your advice! I will have to upload a video to explain it
Hi Arthur been watching you since 15 nice to see some proper farming videos on your channel again I gave up when you started that cartoonish simulator awaiting FS17 release now i should be watching more often!
A trick to get layers is when unloading to run the tractor over at cruise control at a certain speed, first on the right side of the silo, then on the left side, and so on and so forth. For the biggest loading wagon I found what works is setting it to about 11-12 kph, hit Ctrl+I about 2-3 meters into the silo (leaving a bit of space cause compacting will spread it out) will mean the wagon runs out of grass about 2-3 meters before the end of the silo. Without it, when you start getting to about 1M liters per silo, it'll really be a pain in the ass to be able to drive over that with the wagon. If you run something like a John Deere 9630 with triple wheels, it'll finish up to 100% in just one extra run over each silo. I suppose getting the heaviest weights on each side of the tractor plus maybe wheel weights might be the cheapest way to do it though. One question I have is how do you use the silage addatives? It says on the shop page (under pallets) that it's supposed to make it more valuable, but I haven't found out how to use it yet.
Dang... now I wish I hadn't sold all my bailing/wrapper equipment. Nice video - new subscriber here. I look forward to more FS17 from you. (Six kids and zero wives? I don't know if I am more impressed or terrified. Best of luck!)
Yeah, be terrified lol - I am a good Dad, but not so good as a Mom. I try though, and I definitely am more sensitive to my kids needs than most men, but I also have my butt head moments.
The reason you would actually attach all the belts together, is it ensures they are always correctly lined up, since the hitches are lined up with each other, to keep all the ends of the belts directly over the beginning of the next. I think you may be able to use them as well for the same method you did, but having them all hitched up will let you pull the entire line with the first conveyor.
Excellent tutorial. It helped a lot. Although you might want to create future tutorials using all vanilla items for people that aren't interested in modding. I'm referring mainly to the custom map you're using.
Oh, yeah - that. I figured for this one the map didn't make much of a difference cause the plant is the same on most maps, but yes, in general I do not use mods in tutorials.
An efficient way i use is put a big M on a meadow and then use the snowblower with a trailer and then you turn growth to fast and by the time he gets done he just turns around and keeps going. Unlimited silage
Hehe - way late response on my part - None of you noticed that I was going 43 KPH not MPH - so I was going about 25 mph, not busting the speed limit lol
Man I love your videos I've learned a lot but watching you I'm learning more. Sometimes it gets over wellming specially trying to figure out what the best vehical to use for different jobs. I'm farming for silage, and I'd like to do green houses.... I know I know but it's something I'm interested in. My question is can I just have cows and only feed what I have to for manure??? I don't need them for anything else. Can that work if I have enough cows and only feed them to make manure will they just do that?? Didn't want to spend money to be wrong. Wish I could use slurry from the bioplant to fill the manure at the green houses.
i found a unimog baler and i added a bar to it to pull the wrapper or bale trailer and i got the bar to rotate to off set the wrapper or trailer to the left of the baler or the right side but when the bar rotates the wrapper or trailer if already attached stayes there it wont move with the bar
hey art, i found a bug with the rostelmash forage harvester/trailer combo too. same sort of deal but i didnt run over anything else. the pipe just wouldnt free flow into the bin, even though it was picking up the trailer. great vid!
Hey Arthur just started playing 17 the other day I was doing the bull double pull trailer with the krone it filled the first trailer but did not change to the second trailer either
Excellent tutorial as always, Art. It was nice to get some clarification on the changes from FS15. Just a note, though, you missed a method for Corn chaffers. The really cheap, tractor mounted forage harvester MEX 5 is a thing still, right? The harvesting would be super slow, of course, but it would save the massive rental costs on a Krone for a starter biofuels farm!
Kyle and I have been working with it - its still the best way to make money in the game - the wrapped bales are easy to do and worth 980 per bale at the bale barn, and the price doesn't fluctuate.
Yea, I don't really like those get rich quick things, most of them still feel broken, that silage bale for example seems to be way over priced, but maybe I'm wrong on that one. I'm content just working crops. Another thing I don't understand is people who put it on hard and then complain "money is too hard to make on hard". Not quite sure why they don't play on a different difficulty. Also, will the NH forager tow that massive Krone now?
21:00 You don't have to use a chaff wagon, is much better if you just use the biggest tipper you can buy. Get 2 of them, and you can empty one into the bunker manually, while a worker chaffs the crop into the other.
Yes, but that is not exactly realistic. The game also allows you to use manure on the crops as fertilizer in the last stage of growth, but that doesn’t mean that you should. I try my best to do things the way you would do it in real life 😜
I can respect that, my comment was aimed only at a gameplay perspective. Unfortunately the game isn't exactly realistic. Why would real farmers use a chaff wagon instead of a tipper though ? Does it have to be aerated when it gets dumped, to prevent compaction ? I can see that if they meant o use the chaff as a fodder or something, but if is meant to be silage, I don't see the point. Or is there an economic reason, they simply use a forage wagon because they just have that for other uses and don't have to spend money on a tipper ?
A chaff wagon has a moving floor and dumps the chaff out by opening the back and having the floor move the material to the rear, rather than using gravity. I would imagine that chaff, being very light, would just sit in a standard tipper and have to be shoveled out, which is time consuming and dangerous if working at an angle. But as you say, the game doesn't really handle this stuff realistically, so you can chaff into any tipper you like and not have issues.
I don't think lightness has anything to do with it. I worked in landscape business for 10 years, I hauled a lot of type of materials in real life, including hay, wood chips and grass clippings. None are difficult to dump and grass clippings, which are basically chaff, are especially easy if fresh, due to the juices in the grass being released when being chopped - is actually quite heavy. They compact into the bed very quickly, releasing water which accumulates at the base, so when you dump, everything slides out. It has the be an economic reason why real farmers would use forage wagons instead of tippers.
Chaff is chopped up crop. It can be chopped up Wheat, Barley, or Canola, or Corn. Mostly corn though as its dense and its high sugar content causes it to ferment easily. You can either put chaff or grass into a silage bunker (silo) and cover it. Overnight (in game) or in about 90 days real life, it will become Silage. Hay is just dried grasses. You can't use hay or straw to make chaff because its dry, and you need moisture for stuff to ferment. Hope that helps.
@@kingarthursims Thanks, it does help quite a lot! If you don't mind another 2 quick questions, are there any uses for Chaff/Silage besides selling it after? What differentiates in-game grass that can be put into Silage from hay as both come from grass, right? How do I choose to get dry grass or "wet" grass? Thanks again!
Alex, if you are on PC left ctrl + B will switch directions (must have tractor selected if you have attachments, hit G until tractor is white). Then you drive it like a harvester. Front becomes rear, rear becomes front. Have fun!
The Valtra T and S series tractors have reverse drive as well. Not sure if any others do or not. When I do it I run the Pottinger mowers on the back and a tedder on the front and go into reverse drive.
Just came across two issues with silage, I'm in the middle of unloading silos right now. 1: There seems to be a sell limit like there was in FS15, 50,000. When the bin hits that it will stop accepting, or staggers accepting. 2: I can only seems to suck up silage with conveyors from the left hand side of each silo, not the middle. This maybe a update thing, or a Courseplay mod thing, as I only noticed it after I got both of those.
Hey Arthur great video. Been waiting for you to start the tutorials again. Just have a quick question because I'm totally stumped. I put corn silage in the bunker at the cows and used most of it so I thought it would be good to clean it out and fill it back up. Now I have 2444 litres left in it and I can't get it out . I've tried everything and nothing has worked. What can I do to get the last little bit out ?
You will need to use this mod to clean it out. Becareful though - it can erase your fields, so just use it in the bunker. drive.google.com/file/d/0B0AW9-3R406IT3NxQUphQjBUNTA/view?usp=sharing
I know this was posted some time ago, however there IS (at least now.. not sure about then as I'm still rather new to FS17.. ) a placeable fermenter silo now. Kinda Cheaty, but you collect, dump, and over time it processes into silage. Same concept as the bunker I suppose, without the spreading and compacting and covering. Dump the silage into an Auger Wagon, sell, profit..
Can someone help please? Just started playing FS17. I cultivated and sowed 2 fields with grass. Now what? Do i have to weed and fertilize or no? How long until the grass will grow?
Weeding and fertilizing will increase your yield for sure, so I say "do it". The grass just keeps growing, so you won't have to replant until you decide to change crops.
Honestly its far quicker to buy a big mower, mow the grass, tip the clippings into the silage hopper at the biogas plant. Then when you have enough cash, buy a field near the biogas plant, sow grass, then mow the grass tip it into the silos at the biogass plant till full. Rap the silo and tip the silage into the hopper. Big cash. Especially if you mod the xml files a little ie 100000l big mower at 50kmh mow speed you fill those silos quick!
"we gunna" haha your awesome! great vids and love how you are with the kids! anyways im in ohio too brotha! do u have a server? love to play some day . anyways God bless n keep up the good work!
Cool dont rush with me it ment the world you even considered me! Ill add you though and maybe some day we can hang out at the farm :) thank you for your time my steam is AHardKnockLife and my logo has a joker holding a flower. Godbless
a little trick i do with forage harvester, donload the bsm 70k litre trailer, get that on a semi, go behind the harvester, hire a worker, engage crusie control on truck pushing the harvester boom, 1mph speed boast and u dont have to tip
I silage easily made at the area by the cattle I was thinking instead of moving all the silage by tractor could I use a coveyor belt system to transport is to the feeding area?
Yes, that would work. I have a friend that uses like 20 conveyors to deliver grain all over the map lol. The sky is the limit and conveyors aren't very expensive, so have at it :)
Arthur one of my friends has 17on there Xbox one and he was wondering if you could drop wood chips on the ground than use a conveyer to put it back into your trailer
Are you still playing Multiplayer? I would love to just grow hay/silage on your farm. (I'm ~40yrs old, married w/kids, US military, and play sims to relax).
Yes sir - We do South Mountain Creamery every Friday at 7pm EST. All the information can be found here - www.twitch.tv/vbluguitar. Hope to see you there!
Hello! I am new to fs17, bought it on Steam Christmas sale. Can someone tell me what mod Arthur uses to speed up time by 1000x, is there a mod that allows for editing of how fast the times goes through simple editing of files i.e. I can set a custom 500x time speed? Also, how do I install mods? Thank you. P.S. I know that it is best to play at 1x and that is what I normally do. I want the higher speed to mess around on my test farm to instantly grow crops.
Yes. I wish youtube would allow revisions. There are several things I would change about this tutorial. I made it too soon after the game came out and made some mistakes.
I sold my bales to the silage company and got 5-6k out of it a bale. Load it in the same bins you use the belts for and itll work just as well, will need a bale loader for the height or the mod belt for bales
The nice thing about doing that is that you get the slurry at the BGA. I am not sure you get it if you sell it at the farm. A little trick though - bales sold at the farm don't fluctuate in price, they are always a set amount regardless of the market, so maybe the best thing to do is sell them at the farm, as you will make way more money.
I just now started playing farm sim 17. I didn’t realize how fun it is. But I was wondering, where is the best place to get mods that you can’t find in game? And what would you recommend? Btw love your videos!
Serious complaint...............Have watched all the Fs15 Videos. (which got me into the game in the 1st place). Am now going through the Fs17 videos. Did you actually give any kind of warning of how addictive this bleeding game is? If not I think you have a moral duty to give fair warning. haha. love your work man keep it up.
You can't attach two TKD 302 tippers together only the HKD 302 will attach to the TKD 302. I think it didn't give you the dump option because the tipper was still covered, I don't use the cover so I wouldn't know.
This may have been discussed but I'm new to FS17 but have you noticed when you plant grass in Field 14 on Valley Crest and let it grow out, an American flag will appear in the grass?
just drive straight through the silo with cruise control at 3mph and force dump then it will lay it very very even accross silo.i do this and compact every couple of drop offs.
does anyone know how you sell silage at marys farm when the price at the biogas plant drops? anyone notice when it drops at the plant it goes up to 100 or so there?
Definitely install ad blocker plus before you start browsing. I use modhub.us and only download the files that are available directly from Modhub. Also, don't forget that the game now has its own built in mod interface where you can get tons of mods without having to surf the web.
Pigs require a mixture of many foods - the good news is that they show in the menu exactly how much of each product they need. I will definitely do a tutorial soon though.
Excellent Depth to this tutorial. While you would benefit as a content creator by chopping the video into segments, I like the long ones, just play them in the background while I play. GG
pigs will need corn, that makes 50% of their food - but no pig would eat silage! Only ruminants (cows, sheep, horses, ...) are able to eat - and need - silage. Also there is a third way to make use of silage. You can sell silage-bales at the hay & straw sell point and you will get a descent amount of money for it - at the best of that: silage bales have fixed prices: So it doesn't matter if you deliver 1 silage bale or a thousand: the price will stay the same (2.940,- Cr. each if you play on easy - less if you play normal or hard - but always fixed.)
Yes - if you watch my "newer" video about the Most Valuable crop we discuss the silage bale money maker. Seems like its the best way to make money in the game - though its not without it downfall, as it is totally labor intensive.
Oh I will watch it, surely, I just didn't come across it YET. I don't think doing silage bales is more labor intensive than any other crop. And if you went for the Kuhn-Pack, where you can mow, bale and wrap in one pass, the labor is limited to the min. On the standard Goldcrest map I used the green area between the three fields you start with, took out all the trees in the corners there and then this was my "biological bank account", haha. Because the sell point is right aside you have very short ways to go which is very important, because the arcusin 16 bale collection trailer is not able to unload in that sell-point you have to use the little arcusin 3 bale-collector or do it with round bales. What I am investigating a the moment is which bale system is the better: round bales or square bales. They both have ther ups and downs, but I can not tell yet which is more effective. I guess this is one of the things where personal preference hax the most influence. What I really do not like at the square bales is the fact, that they need almost twice the space of the round bales, though they only have the same amount of crop in it!
That is a good point, I agree with that, but on the other sider you can store more roundbales in the same area than squarebales or spoken the other way - you don't need that much storage space. And if you don't pay for the KUHN-pack you are stuck to round bales if you want to go for silage baling. Besides that - I really really like the Göweil RBA Food-Mixer, which only takes round bales - but doesn't need any tool to be loaded: it can take round bales from the ground an place them in the mixer by itself which is very convenient, because you have the mixing-display visual while you are loading the mixer and don't have change the cars or if you only use 1 tractor connect and disconnect the trailer for filling. Besides that it really looks cool and because it is 3-ponit-mounted with no wheels, you can handle it in the tightest spaces you can imagine. And now to a totall different matter: You mentioned that pigfood is sooo expensive!?! Now, I do not play on hard, 'cause I'm just playing for leasure and fun so I play on easy. And playing on easy pigfood isn't expensive at all! In fact, if you are doing right, you can even make some little money using pigfood istead of harvested crop: The trick goes as follows: Let's assume you have to feed 10.000 litres, that would mean you have to feed 5.000 litres of corn, 2.500 litres of grain, 2.000 litres of protein and 500 litres of root-crop. In my example the prices where taken from the Drumard Farm on Easy: So if I use pigfood which whould cost 14.000 Credits if I took the palets from the store, I could sell the amount of crop I had to spare for food right? So I would sell corn for 1.842 Cr. per 1000l which adds up to 9.210 Credits, I'd sell 2500 litres of wheat (1.748 Cr per 1.000litres) for a total of 4.370 Cr., soybeans (3.837 Cr. per 1.000litres) for a total of 7.674 Cr. and last but not least potatoes (955 Cr. per 1.000 litres) for 477 Cr. Summing that up I would get 25.731 Credit for the crops I otherwise would feed to the pigs, which obviously is much much more than the 14.000 we payed for the pigfood, isn't it? So if we don't use palets, but the pigfood-silo from the modhub it would cost only 1.000 Cr. per 1.000 litres which even decreases our cost by 4.000 so we would have total profit of 25.731 Cr. - 10.000 Cr. = 15.731 Cr. we would spare on that one given day with these prices in Drumard Farm by using pigfood instead of harvested crop - I would not say anymore that pigfood is expensive. Well I already can hear you: "Hey, no one is gonna feed his most valuable crops to the pigs if there is a cheaper alternative!" - You are right! So let's calculate with the lowest priced crops: On that example day in Ireland the least we had to spent for pigfood-crops are as follows: corn (you have to use) 1.763 Cr/1.000L; wheat 965 Cr./1.000L; sunflowers 2.284 Cr./1.000L and sugar beets for 495 Cr./1.000L (if you are confused that there are different prices for the same crop as in the first example: Drumard Farm has 2 Sellpoints for each crop and we use the cheapest of the two for the second calculation). So with that lower prices the costs for our self-mixed pigfood add up to 16.044 Credits, which is now not that much more but it is more than the 14.000 for the palets and significant more than the 10.000 for taking it from food-silo. So on easy eather way it is cheaper to use pigfood instead of harvested crop. Would be interesting to compare that calculation with playing on hard. But I said in the beginnig one could make a little amount of money out of it: how that? Now - you "seed" pigfood to the pigs and you "harvest" the corn they will mess around!!! Do not put that messed corn back in the food tray - put it in you silo and sell it if price for corn is high. If you put the spill out back in food tray it is only worth what you payed for the pigfood - if you sell it, you get a lot more when the price is high! And this little income ( a bit like collecting the eggs) is only possible if you use pigfood ( as the "seed") ;)
Yeah, and its still better than regular crops - we planted grass on all 3 fields and at the end of the day it yielded over 90k dollars - the crops are only bringing 30k.
We have Alfalfa in Europe as well (well... Europe... I know we use the word in the Netherlands) but the most common name is Luzerne.and we tend to put it in salads (well... not me, I hardly eat salads? I do have some grass related questions but since I have FS15 and not this one.... yet (no funds atm) I will first check your FS15 vids if the answer is given there and if not ask them there :D
Amazing how much you do for the FS community, your videos helps many virtuel farmers, thank you!
Keep them comming!
You are very welcome bmbpdk!
55:00 Easy there John 😂.
Love your videos even in 2019
Just started playing farming simulator 17 recently, and it's the first sim I've played seriously. I've been having a lot of fun playing, and have appreciated your archive of videos.
Glad to hear it Brayden - its addictive lol
Awesome! Arthur's first FS17 tutorial. Another great video. The FS15 silage tutorial is what prompted me to subscribe to the channel a couple of years ago. Thank-you Arthur for years of info and LOTS of fun. God Bless you and your family.P.S. it was a blast watching Mater run around the farm the other as well as your other kids.
haha - I am still finding trees that Mater cut down lol.
Thank you I'm sick now but watching RUclips vids made me feel a fair bit better thanks
Glad to hear it - Feel better Hayden - I was sick last week, and it sucks.
Omg i been shoveling my pits to sell for the last few hours im off to buy those conveyors asap.. Thank you for all your vids i play on real time over 200 hours now and have made good progress and had loads of fun great game and you have given me good guidence thank you..
Glad to be of service!
When you turn the wheels sideways on that last belt, you can then hire a worker, and he will move the unit side to side to spread out the pile you are creating. You can set the size of the arc with the degree setting. Not real useful for silage, but if you are just making a pile on the ground or in a storage shed, you can make a nicer pile.
So that's what the angle setting is for... never considered putting a worker on a conveyor belt.
Ah! How cool is that? I will have to try it!
The best way to set up the belt thingys is to place the one that picks it up from the ground first and then the one that can reach very high up so you set out those 2 first and THEN you get out the middle peice because its so flexible since you can move it in all kinds of ways
seeing as Arthur so kindly guided me through FS15 I though I would treat myself to FS17. And now we have conveyor belts on xbox for 17. Great times.
Its a big help, especially now that you can just dump wherever you wan't
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I got to the fermenting stage of the grass and didn't know what to do with it, so now I know.
Glad to be of service
the same video on fs 15 was the reason i subscribed to your channel!! great work again!!
Glad you enjoyed!
This helped a lot. The fs 15 tutorial is why I subbed to you. I kinda was ticked when I found out the silage got cut back.
Yeah, but its still decent income - honestly, you are best off with the round bail and wrapper - that seems to earn the most money in the game.
Love your videos Arthur. You explain things so they are understandable and useful. Thank you!👍👍👍
You are very welcome Russell!
Glad to see they finally got some Massey Ferguson into the game. That's what we had on our farm when I was a kid.
Its nice stuff.
In my opinion this whole silage levelling/compressing stuff is nice if you are into doing such fiddly tasks. But if you want to be most effective, the best way of levelling and compressing is during filling. I always compress the load I fill in - usually I have the Strautmann Collection Wagon which can hold 50K or the Krone chaff-wagon you mentioned. These trailers are heavy enough that about 3-4 passes will compress the load (The first 2-3 loads may need 4 or 5 passes to compress, but the more the silo gets filled, the faster a single load will compress ). You can reduce the need of leveling if you set your cruise control to a value so that the unloading makes a straight pile from one end to the other (or to the half if it is a long silo). But how can you know which value to set. You can simply do it by try and error or a bit more sophisticated: fill your trailer up till it is full. Then go out on a field and force dump it at maybe 15 kph ( the speed doesn't really matter - it is just easier to get the mess cleaned up when you have a line you can go over with your collection wagon than just one huge pile) but what matters is the time your trailer needs to unload fully. Remember that time and then go to the silo. Now take your fully loaded trailer and set any cruise speed and let drive thrugh the silo. Was it longer than the unloading time, you have to go faster. Was ist less, than you have to go slower. Try this till your speed setting let's drive you from one end to the other in the same time your wagon needs to unload.
Then dump - 1. dump on one side - compress - 2. dump on the other side - compress - 3. dump in the middle - compress - first layer leveled out. and compressed ;)
Yeah - I don't bother leveling anymore - if you just dump and run it works best.
I figured out how to get a nice level pile in the silage pit after messing around with a leveler and following some of your advice! I will have to upload a video to explain it
Thank you Clemens - let me know when it available.
I am currently uploading it! however long that will take lol
My video is uploaded!
Hi Arthur been watching you since 15 nice to see some proper farming videos on your channel again I gave up when you started that cartoonish simulator awaiting FS17 release now i should be watching more often!
I am talking about farming ''expert'' lol
Haha - I knew :) FE is still not bad, but FS 17 is definitely more awesome :)
It might be an OK game to play, but for the eye candy FS is alot more enjoyable for us to watch!
Silage takes 60 days to ferment for use
I love your vids , It takes roughly 9 weeks for a wrapped bale to turn to silage
A trick to get layers is when unloading to run the tractor over at cruise control at a certain speed, first on the right side of the silo, then on the left side, and so on and so forth. For the biggest loading wagon I found what works is setting it to about 11-12 kph, hit Ctrl+I about 2-3 meters into the silo (leaving a bit of space cause compacting will spread it out) will mean the wagon runs out of grass about 2-3 meters before the end of the silo. Without it, when you start getting to about 1M liters per silo, it'll really be a pain in the ass to be able to drive over that with the wagon.
If you run something like a John Deere 9630 with triple wheels, it'll finish up to 100% in just one extra run over each silo. I suppose getting the heaviest weights on each side of the tractor plus maybe wheel weights might be the cheapest way to do it though.
One question I have is how do you use the silage addatives? It says on the shop page (under pallets) that it's supposed to make it more valuable, but I haven't found out how to use it yet.
Oh, I didn't even see that - is it a mod?
Arthur Chapman Yeah, but it's one of the ones you'll find under 'mods' in the main menu, so you'll have it running in no time.
Arthur I would like to help with vid preparation but I don't have a pc. You make my day when I come home from school and watch your vids
~Mike pezza
Glad I can be there my friend!
Good to see you back Arthur,, you seemed to disappear for a while,, I hope all is well with you and the kids... Neville....
Dang... now I wish I hadn't sold all my bailing/wrapper equipment. Nice video - new subscriber here. I look forward to more FS17 from you.
(Six kids and zero wives? I don't know if I am more impressed or terrified. Best of luck!)
Yeah, be terrified lol - I am a good Dad, but not so good as a Mom. I try though, and I definitely am more sensitive to my kids needs than most men, but I also have my butt head moments.
I adore the fact that you have kids.
They are my life.
I found this channel via your World Of Tanks videos. It's really relaxing to watch your videos, you got new subscriber i think ^^'
Thank you Flappy! Glad to have you aboard.
You are welcome dude! :D Do you have steam? I would love to add you! :D
Where was this video when I bought FS17. I had to learn by trial and error which was sooo frustrating.Thank you Arthur.
You are welcome David!
Great video answered plenty of questions for me. Are there special headers to harvest soy beans?
Nope, they just use the regular header - I think this is true in real live too. The Sunflowers have special headers though.
Thanks for the help.
Awesome vid man. Your doing a good job. You gained a subscriber 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you George and Welcome to the Channel
Another awesome video Art. Keep em coming brother!
More to come!
Thanks for clearing up the silage mystery Arthur!
You are welcome.
The reason you would actually attach all the belts together, is it ensures they are always correctly lined up, since the hitches are lined up with each other, to keep all the ends of the belts directly over the beginning of the next. I think you may be able to use them as well for the same method you did, but having them all hitched up will let you pull the entire line with the first conveyor.
Oh, that is cool - Makes it much easier to transport.
I love the energy coming from John... told him not to yell he yelled louder 😂😂
He is a ball of energy until about 11pm and then he just passes out :)
Excellent tutorial. It helped a lot. Although you might want to create future tutorials using all vanilla items for people that aren't interested in modding. I'm referring mainly to the custom map you're using.
Oh, yeah - that. I figured for this one the map didn't make much of a difference cause the plant is the same on most maps, but yes, in general I do not use mods in tutorials.
An efficient way i use is put a big M on a meadow and then use the snowblower with a trailer and then you turn growth to fast and by the time he gets done he just turns around and keeps going. Unlimited silage
fendt 900 has it to ;) (backwards driving)
Another great tutorial Thanx Arthur!
You are welcome Jean!
On Xbox the controls to force dump a load should be LB + RB + Y.
Spencer Hubble for PlayStation its L1+R1+triangle
I have a ps4
8:30, he's obviously speeding, the speed limit is 35, he was going 43
Dillon Honore The speedlimit is 35 mph and he did go in 43 kph.
And this is an "Simulator".
Hehe - way late response on my part - None of you noticed that I was going 43 KPH not MPH - so I was going about 25 mph, not busting the speed limit lol
Man I love your videos I've learned a lot but watching you I'm learning more. Sometimes it gets over wellming specially trying to figure out what the best vehical to use for different jobs. I'm farming for silage, and I'd like to do green houses.... I know I know but it's something I'm interested in. My question is can I just have cows and only feed what I have to for manure??? I don't need them for anything else. Can that work if I have enough cows and only feed them to make manure will they just do that?? Didn't want to spend money to be wrong. Wish I could use slurry from the bioplant to fill the manure at the green houses.
Yeah, as long as you give them grass and straw they will make poo :)
Your vids are a real help thank you :)
Glad to help Danny
i found a unimog baler and i added a bar to it to pull the wrapper or bale trailer and i got the bar to rotate to off set the wrapper or trailer to the left of the baler or the right side but when the bar rotates the wrapper or trailer if already attached stayes there it wont move with the bar
is there a way to fix it so that when i move the bar the wrapper or trailer moves with the bar
Unless you have some sort of 3d animation software, I don't think so.
ok thank you
hey art, i found a bug with the rostelmash forage harvester/trailer combo too. same sort of deal but i didnt run over anything else. the pipe just wouldnt free flow into the bin, even though it was picking up the trailer. great vid!
Oh weird- I will see if I can duplicate that.
I should have watched this before I bought the Krone big X and easy flow header. Good stuff as usual keep it up
Great video very helpful. Why was your harvester so bouncy
Using the "real terrain" mod
I cut a lot of trees down around the homestead and it's pretty open now and good for mowing
Btw great video
The base farm.
Thank you Gary - My kids are slowly "accidentally" cutting down the trees around the farm lol.
any of you having the dreaded "tree disappears underground forever" issue? lol lol
Hey Arthur just started playing 17 the other day I was doing the bull double pull trailer with the krone it filled the first trailer but did not change to the second trailer either
I knew you would do this video so I putt off silage until today lol thankyou
haha - you are welcome Eric.
Thanks for the Link to this tutorial Arthur :)
Excellent tutorial as always, Art. It was nice to get some clarification on the changes from FS15.
Just a note, though, you missed a method for Corn chaffers. The really cheap, tractor mounted forage harvester MEX 5 is a thing still, right? The harvesting would be super slow, of course, but it would save the massive rental costs on a Krone for a starter biofuels farm!
Man, I don't even know if that is in the game still - I HATE that MEX 5 lol.
Lol =D
Yup, its still in game - OOOPS
Hehe! :) Oh, and did you mention that you can sell silage bales at the hay shed stable thing, along with the loose hay?
Did you? DID YOU?? =p
LeiFlux07 yup - that was covered as the second "easiest" method, though I didn't show the actual "sell".
what map was this looks cool I love to always try out new ones
The change angle is when you are using a worker and having the arm swing back and forth, the angle is the amount of swing
even with silage being a fraction of the profit it is still the first tutorial to come out. You must dream about silage, or more like nightmares now.
Kyle and I have been working with it - its still the best way to make money in the game - the wrapped bales are easy to do and worth 980 per bale at the bale barn, and the price doesn't fluctuate.
Yea, I don't really like those get rich quick things, most of them still feel broken, that silage bale for example seems to be way over priced, but maybe I'm wrong on that one. I'm content just working crops. Another thing I don't understand is people who put it on hard and then complain "money is too hard to make on hard". Not quite sure why they don't play on a different difficulty. Also, will the NH forager tow that massive Krone now?
21:00 You don't have to use a chaff wagon, is much better if you just use the biggest tipper you can buy. Get 2 of them, and you can empty one into the bunker manually, while a worker chaffs the crop into the other.
Yes, but that is not exactly realistic. The game also allows you to use manure on the crops as fertilizer in the last stage of growth, but that doesn’t mean that you should. I try my best to do things the way you would do it in real life 😜
I can respect that, my comment was aimed only at a gameplay perspective. Unfortunately the game isn't exactly realistic.
Why would real farmers use a chaff wagon instead of a tipper though ? Does it have to be aerated when it gets dumped, to prevent compaction ? I can see that if they meant o use the chaff as a fodder or something, but if is meant to be silage, I don't see the point. Or is there an economic reason, they simply use a forage wagon because they just have that for other uses and don't have to spend money on a tipper ?
A chaff wagon has a moving floor and dumps the chaff out by opening the back and having the floor move the material to the rear, rather than using gravity. I would imagine that chaff, being very light, would just sit in a standard tipper and have to be shoveled out, which is time consuming and dangerous if working at an angle. But as you say, the game doesn't really handle this stuff realistically, so you can chaff into any tipper you like and not have issues.
I don't think lightness has anything to do with it. I worked in landscape business for 10 years, I hauled a lot of type of materials in real life, including hay, wood chips and grass clippings. None are difficult to dump and grass clippings, which are basically chaff, are especially easy if fresh, due to the juices in the grass being released when being chopped - is actually quite heavy. They compact into the bed very quickly, releasing water which accumulates at the base, so when you dump, everything slides out.
It has the be an economic reason why real farmers would use forage wagons instead of tippers.
Or maybe its because it is wet - do you think the moisture would cause the material to stick?
22:00 so I can either harvest the crop or mow it?
I'm so lost on what Silage, hay, chaff, etc..are
Chaff is chopped up crop. It can be chopped up Wheat, Barley, or Canola, or Corn. Mostly corn though as its dense and its high sugar content causes it to ferment easily. You can either put chaff or grass into a silage bunker (silo) and cover it. Overnight (in game) or in about 90 days real life, it will become Silage. Hay is just dried grasses. You can't use hay or straw to make chaff because its dry, and you need moisture for stuff to ferment. Hope that helps.
@@kingarthursims Thanks, it does help quite a lot!
If you don't mind another 2 quick questions, are there any uses for Chaff/Silage besides selling it after?
What differentiates in-game grass that can be put into Silage from hay as both come from grass, right? How do I choose to get dry grass or "wet" grass?
Thanks again!
U can fertilize the grass now to get a better yield after u cut it use the weeder on it. It will go to the second stage of fertilize
I use the fendt 900 series because it have reverse driving too and with wheel weight and frond weight it compact very good
Alex, if you are on PC left ctrl + B will switch directions (must have tractor selected if you have attachments, hit G until tractor is white).
Then you drive it like a harvester. Front becomes rear, rear becomes front. Have fun!
The Valtra T and S series tractors have reverse drive as well. Not sure if any others do or not. When I do it I run the Pottinger mowers on the back and a tedder on the front and go into reverse drive.
LOVE IT - I think the Fendt does too.
Arthur Chapman
The Fendt 900 does, but I don't think the Fendt 700 does.
there only 4 tractors with reverse driving when you pre ordered then there 5
valtra N,T,S series
valtra T series cow edition
and fendt 900 vario
Just came across two issues with silage, I'm in the middle of unloading silos right now.
1: There seems to be a sell limit like there was in FS15, 50,000. When the bin hits that it will stop accepting, or staggers accepting.
2: I can only seems to suck up silage with conveyors from the left hand side of each silo, not the middle. This maybe a update thing, or a Courseplay mod thing, as I only noticed it after I got both of those.
Interesting - I have never had the "suck up" issue. Nice to know about the limit too, Lei
Hey Arthur great video. Been waiting for you to start the tutorials again. Just have a quick question because I'm totally stumped. I put corn silage in the bunker at the cows and used most of it so I thought it would be good to clean it out and fill it back up. Now I have 2444 litres left in it and I can't get it out . I've tried everything and nothing has worked. What can I do to get the last little bit out ?
You will need to use this mod to clean it out. Becareful though - it can erase your fields, so just use it in the bunker. drive.google.com/file/d/0B0AW9-3R406IT3NxQUphQjBUNTA/view?usp=sharing
I know this was posted some time ago, however there IS (at least now.. not sure about then as I'm still rather new to FS17.. ) a placeable fermenter silo now. Kinda Cheaty, but you collect, dump, and over time it processes into silage. Same concept as the bunker I suppose, without the spreading and compacting and covering. Dump the silage into an Auger Wagon, sell, profit..
I love that silo - much easier and less fuss.
Can someone help please? Just started playing FS17. I cultivated and sowed 2 fields with grass. Now what? Do i have to weed and fertilize or no? How long until the grass will grow?
Weeding and fertilizing will increase your yield for sure, so I say "do it". The grass just keeps growing, so you won't have to replant until you decide to change crops.
Thanks Buddy, awesome video!
You are Welcome Frank!
Honestly its far quicker to buy a big mower, mow the grass, tip the clippings into the silage hopper at the biogas plant. Then when you have enough cash, buy a field near the biogas plant, sow grass, then mow the grass tip it into the silos at the biogass plant till full. Rap the silo and tip the silage into the hopper. Big cash.
Especially if you mod the xml files a little ie 100000l big mower at 50kmh mow speed you fill those silos quick!
The part with the forger isn't a bug, you had grass in the krone which is why it wasn't putting the wheat in
paused during video to write that, my bad i saw that you corrected your self :$
I really do try to get everything right the first time, but I swear - I always screw something up lol.
"we gunna" haha your awesome! great vids and love how you are with the kids!
anyways im in ohio too brotha! do u have a server? love to play some day . anyways God bless n keep up the good work!
Friend me on steam - artkatpc - I will try to get you in rotation.
Cool dont rush with me it ment the world you even considered me! Ill add you though and maybe some day we can hang out at the farm :) thank you for your time my steam is AHardKnockLife and my logo has a joker holding a flower. Godbless
I got stuck 444 silage, can you help, get clean silage? I use, the silage cleaner mod, its no't help.
PC or Console?
The siloking bucket is actually limited to 50 000, i saw it when i had 250 000 silo going into it with a belt system.
Yes, that is correct. this is one reason why I hate doing tutorials early. There is just so much info that is easily missed.
a little trick i do with forage harvester,
donload the bsm 70k litre trailer, get that on a semi, go behind the harvester, hire a worker, engage crusie control on truck pushing the harvester boom, 1mph speed boast and u dont have to tip
What about turns? All the forage harvesters I use back up for squareness unless I headland. Thanx :)
Did you know with a dolley you can put the 70000l trailer right on the krone
Arthur thanks for help
Your Welcome Pezza
I silage easily made at the area by the cattle I was thinking instead of moving all the silage by tractor could I use a coveyor belt system to transport is to the feeding area?
Yes, that would work. I have a friend that uses like 20 conveyors to deliver grain all over the map lol. The sky is the limit and conveyors aren't very expensive, so have at it :)
Arthur one of my friends has 17on there Xbox one and he was wondering if you could drop wood chips on the ground than use a conveyer to put it back into your trailer
And is there a square bail rapper in the new game
No, only the 1 round bale wrapper as or right now.
Yes - absolutely - we mowed grass, dumped it in a huge pile and then used a conveyor to load our semi truck. It worked really well.
how do you force dump the grass on Xbox one?
I believe that you hold down both bumpers and press Y.
Are you still playing Multiplayer? I would love to just grow hay/silage on your farm. (I'm ~40yrs old, married w/kids, US military, and play sims to relax).
Yes sir - We do South Mountain Creamery every Friday at 7pm EST. All the information can be found here - www.twitch.tv/vbluguitar. Hope to see you there!
Could you do one of these about the wood chips and the poplars, i am trying to work out how good it is for making money.
I sure will - I will try to get to it this week.
Cool, Thank you.
Hello! I am new to fs17, bought it on Steam Christmas sale.
Can someone tell me what mod Arthur uses to speed up time by 1000x, is there a mod that allows for editing of how fast the times goes through simple editing of files i.e. I can set a custom 500x time speed? Also, how do I install mods?
Thank you.
P.S. I know that it is best to play at 1x and that is what I normally do. I want the higher speed to mess around on my test farm to instantly grow crops.
when we get silage bails done on our farm the bailer has a built in wrapper and the bailer dosnt need to stop untill all grass been picked ip
OH, that is nice - (I would imagine it was expensive).
My advice from experience is to load the trailer of in a thin layer over the hole bunker and then get a heavy tractor to level it out
Yes. I wish youtube would allow revisions. There are several things I would change about this tutorial. I made it too soon after the game came out and made some mistakes.
Arthur Chapman what you should do is a 2.0 and add the stuff you wanted to revisit
I sold my bales to the silage company and got 5-6k out of it a bale. Load it in the same bins you use the belts for and itll work just as well, will need a bale loader for the height or the mod belt for bales
The nice thing about doing that is that you get the slurry at the BGA. I am not sure you get it if you sell it at the farm. A little trick though - bales sold at the farm don't fluctuate in price, they are always a set amount regardless of the market, so maybe the best thing to do is sell them at the farm, as you will make way more money.
Does this method of bailing grass and wrapping it turn it immediately into silage still in 2018?
Yes, and in 19 too.
I just now started playing farm sim 17. I didn’t realize how fun it is. But I was wondering, where is the best place to get mods that you can’t find in game? And what would you recommend? Btw love your videos!
I get my external mods from modhub.us - I only download the ones from Modhub (they usually have 2 links) as the other links often have adware.
Thank you!
i dont even have this game but nice vid :)
Thank you Dapper!
Arthur Chapman is this a lot harder than the 2015 version
dapper E30
get in its the best ;)
if you have xbox game pass it’s free rn!!!
is there a way to fix it so the wrapper or trailer if already attached so it moves with the bar
I am sorry, I am not sure exactly what you are asking
Serious complaint...............Have watched all the Fs15 Videos. (which got me into the game in the 1st place). Am now going through the Fs17 videos. Did you actually give any kind of warning of how addictive this bleeding game is? If not I think you have a moral duty to give fair warning. haha. love your work man keep it up.
Ikr - I can't stop playing either - its like crack on a 32 inch monitor lol.
Do you know how to get salt in farm Sim 17 on the mape with all the licker and grapes
I don't that sounds like a mod thing.
You can't attach two TKD 302 tippers together only the HKD 302 will attach to the TKD 302. I think it didn't give you the dump option because the tipper was still covered, I don't use the cover so I wouldn't know.
This may have been discussed but I'm new to FS17 but have you noticed when you plant grass in Field 14 on Valley Crest and let it grow out, an American flag will appear in the grass?
hehe - Yes. Its been WAY overused on mod maps. I think in my Goldcrest series (from 2 years ago) we show it.
@@kingarthursims I'll have to catch up on that, I got introduced to your channel a few months ago and I've learned everything from you. Thanks Arthur!
just drive straight through the silo with cruise control at 3mph and force dump then it will lay it very very even accross silo.i do this and compact every couple of drop offs.
Ah, that is a great idea.
I have noticed when using a forage harvester on poplar it will glitch out and still cut the crop but I doesnot fill the trailer..
oh weird - I haven't had this happen.
Arthur Chapman it only does it when using a helper.
A good trick to compact the hay faster is using a tractor with a big trailer full of grain, it will go 10times faster!
THAT is a great idea! The extra weight will compress it fast.
do u have plans on doing a animal tutorial?
Yep - probably one for each type
Kewl looking fwd to it
does anyone know how you sell silage at marys farm when the price at the biogas plant drops? anyone notice when it drops at the plant it goes up to 100 or so there?
Hey Arthur I am wanting to get fs17 but I want to install mods. however I am scared of viruses any tips tricks on how to avoid
Definitely install ad blocker plus before you start browsing. I use modhub.us and only download the files that are available directly from Modhub. Also, don't forget that the game now has its own built in mod interface where you can get tons of mods without having to surf the web.
Arthur Chapman can you tell me with which program you're recording gaming? :)
Hi Lego - I use Bandicam to capture the video/audio, and then I put it together in Sony Vegas 14
Thank you :)
Are you going to a tutorial on animals and how to feed them
Ok cause I not sure how to feed pigs yet
Pigs require a mixture of many foods - the good news is that they show in the menu exactly how much of each product they need. I will definitely do a tutorial soon though.
Ok good
humm, nice video! :) thanks for the tutorial ;)
You are welcome Martin - Glad you enjoyed it :)
The Silage bales usually have to sit for about 2-3 months before they become fermented
That makes sense.
You were gonna say shit it out! Well done lol I love it
:)
Excellent Depth to this tutorial. While you would benefit as a content creator by chopping the video into segments, I like the long ones, just play them in the background while I play. GG
ikr - but I hate when people chop up stuff. It makes me mad. So I figure its better in the long run to leave them full length.
pigs will need corn, that makes 50% of their food - but no pig would eat silage! Only ruminants (cows, sheep, horses, ...) are able to eat - and need - silage. Also there is a third way to make use of silage. You can sell silage-bales at the hay & straw sell point and you will get a descent amount of money for it - at the best of that: silage bales have fixed prices: So it doesn't matter if you deliver 1 silage bale or a thousand: the price will stay the same (2.940,- Cr. each if you play on easy - less if you play normal or hard - but always fixed.)
Yes - if you watch my "newer" video about the Most Valuable crop we discuss the silage bale money maker. Seems like its the best way to make money in the game - though its not without it downfall, as it is totally labor intensive.
Oh I will watch it, surely, I just didn't come across it YET. I don't think doing silage bales is more labor intensive than any other crop. And if you went for the Kuhn-Pack, where you can mow, bale and wrap in one pass, the labor is limited to the min. On the standard Goldcrest map I used the green area between the three fields you start with, took out all the trees in the corners there and then this was my "biological bank account", haha. Because the sell point is right aside you have very short ways to go which is very important, because the arcusin 16 bale collection trailer is not able to unload in that sell-point you have to use the little arcusin 3 bale-collector or do it with round bales.
What I am investigating a the moment is which bale system is the better: round bales or square bales. They both have ther ups and downs, but I can not tell yet which is more effective. I guess this is one of the things where personal preference hax the most influence. What I really do not like at the square bales is the fact, that they need almost twice the space of the round bales, though they only have the same amount of crop in it!
I like the square bales overall because they collect easier with that 16 bale trailer. I also find them easier to handle all around.
That is a good point, I agree with that, but on the other sider you can store more roundbales in the same area than squarebales or spoken the other way - you don't need that much storage space. And if you don't pay for the KUHN-pack you are stuck to round bales if you want to go for silage baling. Besides that - I really really like the Göweil RBA Food-Mixer, which only takes round bales - but doesn't need any tool to be loaded: it can take round bales from the ground an place them in the mixer by itself which is very convenient, because you have the mixing-display visual while you are loading the mixer and don't have change the cars or if you only use 1 tractor connect and disconnect the trailer for filling. Besides that it really looks cool and because it is 3-ponit-mounted with no wheels, you can handle it in the tightest spaces you can imagine.
And now to a totall different matter: You mentioned that pigfood is sooo expensive!?! Now, I do not play on hard, 'cause I'm just playing for leasure and fun so I play on easy. And playing on easy pigfood isn't expensive at all! In fact, if you are doing right, you can even make some little money using pigfood istead of harvested crop: The trick goes as follows: Let's assume you have to feed 10.000 litres, that would mean you have to feed 5.000 litres of corn, 2.500 litres of grain, 2.000 litres of protein and 500 litres of root-crop. In my example the prices where taken from the Drumard Farm on Easy: So if I use pigfood which whould cost 14.000 Credits if I took the palets from the store, I could sell the amount of crop I had to spare for food right? So I would sell corn for 1.842 Cr. per 1000l which adds up to 9.210 Credits, I'd sell 2500 litres of wheat (1.748 Cr per 1.000litres) for a total of 4.370 Cr., soybeans (3.837 Cr. per 1.000litres) for a total of 7.674 Cr. and last but not least potatoes (955 Cr. per 1.000 litres) for 477 Cr. Summing that up I would get 25.731 Credit for the crops I otherwise would feed to the pigs, which obviously is much much more than the 14.000 we payed for the pigfood, isn't it? So if we don't use palets, but the pigfood-silo from the modhub it would cost only 1.000 Cr. per 1.000 litres which even decreases our cost by 4.000 so we would have total profit of 25.731 Cr. - 10.000 Cr. = 15.731 Cr. we would spare on that one given day with these prices in Drumard Farm by using pigfood instead of harvested crop - I would not say anymore that pigfood is expensive. Well I already can hear you: "Hey, no one is gonna feed his most valuable crops to the pigs if there is a cheaper alternative!" - You are right! So let's calculate with the lowest priced crops: On that example day in Ireland the least we had to spent for pigfood-crops are as follows: corn (you have to use) 1.763 Cr/1.000L; wheat 965 Cr./1.000L; sunflowers 2.284 Cr./1.000L and sugar beets for 495 Cr./1.000L (if you are confused that there are different prices for the same crop as in the first example: Drumard Farm has 2 Sellpoints for each crop and we use the cheapest of the two for the second calculation). So with that lower prices the costs for our self-mixed pigfood add up to 16.044 Credits, which is now not that much more but it is more than the 14.000 for the palets and significant more than the 10.000 for taking it from food-silo. So on easy eather way it is cheaper to use pigfood instead of harvested crop. Would be interesting to compare that calculation with playing on hard.
But I said in the beginnig one could make a little amount of money out of it: how that? Now - you "seed" pigfood to the pigs and you "harvest" the corn they will mess around!!! Do not put that messed corn back in the food tray - put it in you silo and sell it if price for corn is high. If you put the spill out back in food tray it is only worth what you payed for the pigfood - if you sell it, you get a lot more when the price is high! And this little income ( a bit like collecting the eggs) is only possible if you use pigfood ( as the "seed") ;)
Even though it doesn't give much money it's really fun to do, at least for me
Yeah, and its still better than regular crops - we planted grass on all 3 fields and at the end of the day it yielded over 90k dollars - the crops are only bringing 30k.
the unit would not fill because the mower changes grass types when you drive over others
Right - Pain in the butt. But ok - You just have to work around it.
We have Alfalfa in Europe as well (well... Europe... I know we use the word in the Netherlands) but the most common name is Luzerne.and we tend to put it in salads (well... not me, I hardly eat salads?
I do have some grass related questions but since I have FS15 and not this one.... yet (no funds atm) I will first check your FS15 vids if the answer is given there and if not ask them there :D
haha - I can't eat alfafa its way too bitter.
