Very justified rant, I have to agree. Giants seem to have confused us. Volume in litres; if it looks the same shape and size etc. Whereas variations in bulk-density and hence mass per volume... absolutely varies between materials. All that said; I really want to use a mixer, I have only used to 'robot' cow pasture when it arrives with a mod-map. I hope the volume anomalies don't actually drive us all insane, Keep it Mr Driver53 I like how you present your opinions.
I discovered this video a day late. Yesterday I switched my cows over to the Robo-Barn, just because of the hassle of having to use an 18K trailer to be able to squeeze beneath that down spout. The good news is that I still have TMR maker on my farm, and it's chock full of raw materials and TMR. I'll set up that Meridian conveyer as you showed, and empty the heck out of it. I found a buy point mod that buys TMR and other things. So thanks for the helpful video. 😉
For me it depends on the size of your herd. There's others out there that hold up to 1.000.000L of straw, silage and hay each. Sure you lose some product on those but i take that over smaller capacity since i'd have to storage hay, silage and straw elsewhere over winter when i'm not mowing grass or harvesting grains. With those bigger ones i just put all the materials in there over harvest season and all i have to do through winter is just take out some TMR and put it in the barn every 1,2 or 3 months depending on the food capacity.
Much easier, OmaTana mods. Especially the "Farm Production" mod that can make everything you need, including TMR without 3 different recipes (2 of which don't require Mineral), and also includes a 10M capacity multifruit silo.
I have my own mix. 2 telehender buckets 5k silage. So 10k silage and 1 bucket straw and hay. I store everything loose. Especially straw bales. I cannot give straw bale to cows only loose. Plus less equipment required. Plus a funny thing, I use the t bucket on my john deere 6r lol. I had to put a mod weight 4.t on the back. And heaviest tires. With an adapter for frontloader its possible to use it. Instead of a 2 3k bucket. Its especially useful for silage when I collect it in a trailer.
So I just purchased the TMR Mixing Station and I found a “good glitch” I loaded it all up and now it’s processing TMR forever and I’m not losing any sileage,Hay, or Straw or Mineral but my amount keeps growing.
This I would say is the cheapest easy way obviously the robot cow shed is easy but obviously a major chunk of money to buy. I been using a mod that sells TMR in bags and just filling up the mixer with them. This will save me some cash.
Got to get this, I'm sick to death tired of filling those mixer trucks takes forever . Thanks for posting this, now just to find that TMR factory/station .
When I park the same Meridian Auger that you used in this video I don’t get the option to Start Filling. It works on my smaller truck but not on the Meridian. Any advice?
I got this mod on console and works great if I buy the bales but when I make my own it won’t work. The silage and grass both aren’t working off the field.
Get the buy anything silo and use it for tmr it's so cheap to do it that way then you don't need a mixer or anything or balling equipment, I find when you first start it's a great way to feed cows and give them straw until you build up and buy all the equipment
I use one for fertilizer and lime. But I feel like for food would be like cheating and Id prefer to roleplay that part. You dont really need tmr for first 9 months. But you can get hay easily.
Where can I find the data you had on the animals? (How did you figure out how many cows you could feed per month?) I am curious as I am trying to calculate a sort of yield/ha for the different animal products. I want to see if I feed my chickens for example with barley which has a yield of 19,200 L/ha how many eggs will I get per ha of barley I feed them? You mentioned the age of the animals affects food use, does it also affect how much product you get? (Does it only affect the speed of production/consumption or also yield?)
Fellow RUclipsr Scroft has a great video looking at dairy cows I used for my numbers. Not sure if he has a video on chickens but wouldn't be surprised.
Does that mean I can have a trailer load of just hay bales and just put them in where they bay goes and do the same with straw, and it makes itself from the products Or do I have to make the tmr itself by the bales and it does it that way
Actually, the smallest mixer takes one hay + silage round bale from the store and then you just top it off with straw before you add some minerals. You will need to run it twice, but it mixes quite easily!
An easier way you ask? The easiest way to make TMR is to let a robot do it with the cowbarn with feedingrobot of course. No easier way to feed your cows. Unless you want to make TMR for selling but then you will want to see if that makes more money then selling grass, hay and silage sepratly and you'l need to infest in a TMR selling point to.
easiest, hay and silage, done. If you then put it in a silo, when you take it out in a mixer it will show it having straw and mineral additive.... minerals are just for show make no difference, been tested and proven.
@@cindystevens well, to make TMR tou need alot of equipment, how to afford that? I’m not saying one should not mix TMR, just that its easier to buy it, and its cheap.
That red mixer is easy. 2 small round hay, 2 small round silage, 1 straw.
Great info, any idea what to mix for the big green one?

I agree, the only problem is the space to get the TMR. I changed the values in the XML too
Also make sure you manage and activate it to make the tmr on the rear of the tmr mixer building.

I love the TMR mod, used it the first day it came out!
I’ve always used the silos to store loose and used hat and a fast finger to make the mix in the mixer boul
I’m bad at the game this helps me
Idk I just pull under the 82 studio buy all silo. Great video driver53.
I will say I use loose hay grass straw. Great you shown the factorys as well. I have been using them as they come out. I do say they run slow.
great technical analysis of actual gameplay. I hope Giants is watching!!!!!

Just to let you know, you only need silage and hay to make tmr, not sure why, but the game accepts it. Makes it super easy 👍
Because straw is just a filler.
Using straw makes it cheaper
I love this I was using silos and hay barn and driving under and mixing
Honestly this thing is fantastic and easy to use, great for learning cattle farmers.
Love this!🚜👍🏼
When I park the same Meridian Auger that you used in this video I don’t get the option to Start Filling. It works on my smaller truck but not on the Meridian. Any advice?
Can i use the belt between this silo and tmr station
Just wish there was a way to expand how much TMR it can hold. Im on console and cant change the XML
Totally understand that. I'm going to look at the available mods again and see if there is a new one that is better.
@@Driver53Gaming much appreciated!
Could you run the auger to one of the TMR multifruit storages like OmaTanas? Instant storage?
This is a pretty brilliant idea!
They fix the baler problem? When you make for exemple grass bale, and if the baler is not full, you cannot get out the bale.
I believe this is still a thing. Haven't been able to unload patrial bales myself.
I got this mod on console and works great if I buy the bales but when I make my own it won’t work. The silage and grass both aren’t working off the field.

You put the straw, hay, silage, and mineral feed into the building using the triggers. Then turn it on and let the magic happen.
@@Driver53Gaming legend thank you. Cuz others you have to make the tmr for the machine
Any kind of the factory without the mineral feed? Is just very annoying to deal with that.
There are but you lose quite a bit of product in the recipe.
Downloaded Mod for this.. Can't get the "Start Filling" to work!
Actually, the smallest mixer takes one hay + silage round bale from the store and then you just top it off with straw before you add some minerals.
You will need to run it twice, but it mixes quite easily!
There is another TMR auto mixer can't remember name right now but it's bigger than this one and I think just as easy
There are a few mixers and productions that have released since this video that are honestly better. Guess it's time to do an update video.
I cant put the mineral feed in, do someone know what im doing wrong
It goes at the end of the building and not with the other items.
Is this available for Xbox’s? I can’t find it
It is. Try searching for "station"
An easier way you ask?
The easiest way to make TMR is to let a robot do it with the cowbarn with feedingrobot of course.
No easier way to feed your cows.
Unless you want to make TMR for selling but then you will want to see if that makes more money then selling grass, hay and silage sepratly and you'l need to infest in a TMR selling point to.
Yeah but he’s taking cost into it. That robot barn is almost $1,000,000
Where is this station, I am on PC< I do not have it.
Is it for console?
so probably a dumb question, but can the tmr from this go into silos?
Yes
Console has a bale limit?
excellent ty
Does it only take bales like will it take loose hay???
You can put loose product into the unload area.
I just might start doing cows because of this video. TMR in my eyes is a pain in a$$
I can not find that through building I have not long started playing
Maybe a mod even though it doesn’t say it is one
❤
Try 82 studios tlx feed bed
There’s no way to set it to distribute product?
You can only distribute to places that accept TMR, so I think you can't as of right now
You mean like sell points?
@@TheMrprez that'd be setting it to sell
Does this work on console
Yes it does. We used it on the cross-platform server for a month.
No it doesn’t not even on the list
easiest, hay and silage, done. If you then put it in a silo, when you take it out in a mixer it will show it having straw and mineral additive.... minerals are just for show make no difference, been tested and proven.
Is this a mod
The esiest way is to buy TMR from a Multifruit Filling station. 🤷🏼♂️
Easiest way to *mix*
Buying isn't mixing
But of you have no money to Buys it
@@cindystevens well, to make TMR tou need alot of equipment, how to afford that? I’m not saying one should not mix TMR, just that its easier to buy it, and its cheap.
I dont see this on PS4 ????
