Re: So what will be best map for Big Bud?

I think Giants Island would be a good map for this dlc. The fields are big and no fences to get in the way. The Russian map would be good also.

Re: Cows Total Mixed Ration

with the big mod mixer I load 8 hay bales and 8 silage bales to make my TMR. on the pull silo king I use 2 hay bales and 2 silage bales. I suppose if I used the self propelled mixer I would pick up my hay with a loading wagon instead of baling it. I use bales only so I don't have to change tools on ...

Re: Great ideas for starters, and veterans.

Get into baling as soon as you can. It gives you a lot of extra income from wheat and barley, and once you have the equipment to make silage bales from grass you will really start making money. It also keeps you busy while waiting for workers to finish planting etc. excellent advice. If a person si...

Re: Mixer Wagon

sorry guys and gals I was completely wrong on the sugar beet issue. on field 12 of the GCV map I planted sugar beets on easy mode with the plowing turned off and 1 time fertilizer on. I made 94000 dollars on the beets. I then planted the field to wheat which I made 37000 dollars on it. with that muc...

Re: Pig food

I have yet to buy one single pallet of pig food. My pigs are only fed with fresh, self harvested crops - and that's the cheapest way to feed them anyway. 100 pigs need about 4500l corn, 2200l wheat/barley, 1800l canola/soybean/sunflower and 500l potatoes/sugar beets a day. That's only a small part ...

Re: Pig food

for the pig food pallets all you have to do is drive next to the pallets with a tipper not sure what button you use for consoles but pc it is R this will fill your tipper(no frontloader needed)

Re: Mixer Wagon

I do not raise sugar beets for sale. the ratio for the mixing station is 33% wheat. 33% canola and 33% sugar beets. my cornfield is about 14ha so eve...

Re: Mixer Wagon

I assume most players don't feed sugar beets to their pigs. In FS2017 beets took a major beating pricewise. the holmer harvester costs over 500000 dollars. so in my opinion they are not worth growing. the pigs will still produce 95% without them. what I do when I plant a field of corn the first pass...

Re: Big bud dlc

make a few passes with the roller on each side of the field then your helper should turn around okay. `I do this on mod maps the modder always puts things too close to the field.

Re: New Vs Old Silage thoughts?

The map I am playing now has a built in upright fermenting silo. so I don't have to pack my silage. I just drive under the spout at the silo put 59000L in it and drive over to the BGA unload the tipper. then get on the JCB wheel loader and start selling silage. IMO silage is too cheap to go thru the...

Re: Need help with Milk Factory :confusednew:

I assume that the milk plant is created by the same modder so it should be the same on all maps. I am playing Saxony map and it has the milk plant also. I haven't tried it yet. I have plans of using it in the future along with the bio-diesel plant.
