Re: How many Hours have you played FS?

FS19 - (3377h) 140d 17h 34m (Rank 2 of 8 ) --Goldcrest Valley @ 1000+hrs (racing with another member) ----ScorpionKing @ 100hrs (Thousands of trees felled) FS17 - (5336h) 222d 8h 15m (Rank 1 of 12) --Ravenport @ 1040hrs ----NH8340 @ 300hrs I'm sure some of that is idle time. But I try to dashboard i...

Re: Forage harvester hitch

Ok, I know what you're doing now. :)
Many of the trailed harvesters are meant to also pull a trailer.
I think the OP was talking about self propelled machines though.

Re: Forage harvester hitch

Illinois Farmer ~ You pull trailers behind a self propelled forage harvester?
Got pictures? (Not doubting just curious what that setup looks like)
Is it common in Illinois? Or just on your farm?

Re: Forage harvester hitch

I have the AI drive the harvester and just follow it myself.
That way you don't have to unload the harvester repeatedly.

Look up the machines on YouTube and see how they are used IRL.

Re: Forage harvester hitch

For the initial pass? Maybe pull the trailer. Where space is limited, it makes sense. After the first pass its less efficient to pull a trailer with the harvester. Once the trailer is full, the harvester has to stop. Then you're either swapping trailers or using the harvester to transport the load. ...

Re: Forage harvester hitch

I kinda wish they'd get rid of the hitches on the harvesters.

All I ever see is people trying to "game the system".

Re: Something I notice most don't think about when buying a tractor in FS19

Welcome to the forum!

That's a good observation.

I think you should check the weight though.
My quick search says the 6 series weighs about 11,000 lbs.

Re: List of assets

1. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Lots of people here are eager to help.

2. Turn off auto-save and just TRY some stuff. Exit without saving and you wont lose any progress.

3. There are multiple ways to accomplish many of the chores. Try everything, find out what works for you.

Re: Railroad crossings

I've got 730 hours on Ravenport and have only been hit by the train once. That was because I cut the corner too close and the trailer got hung up. Totally my fault. I've seen a car get hit by a train IRL, so I tend to slow down and look. I've had guests on my map that always seem to get hit by the t...

I had horses named after my dogs.
Well, most of them.

Re: HUD Improvement Idea

I prefer the HUD from 17. The background box made it easy to read with anything behind it. You could turn down the opacity so you could still see through it. I want it back! The current HUD being in white only was a HORRIBLE idea. (Who tested this?) The info always seems to be over top of a yellow h...

Re: Feedback - Fillable Fuel Tank by MissyB

MissyB ~ I love the fuel tank. It is popping up on many of my maps. I hate infinite fuel points on the farm. The idea of a tank that I must fill, is awesome! I took some pictures of my latest installation, I will post them soon. (Hopefully) Currently trying a rival fertilizer storage. I just downloa...

Re: Low fuel usage (consoles)

First thing: someone mentioned a "high fuel usage" option. I think that is a good idea. The fuel is configured to real life time. Many players have the speed set higher than 1x while they play. I think this simple option would satisfy many people. -=-=- I never seem to have the fuel issue....

Re: More fuel consumption by RealismusModding

My farm burns through an entire fuel trailer in two days. Ya'll need to buy more land.

My biggest peeve is an unlimited gas station in the middle of my farm. Takes the fun out of having a pickup and fuel trailer. (Looking at you Lone Oak)
