Re: Flatmap

I take it there is no bale trigger for woodchips on this map. I planted a small field of popular and baled it and have no place to sell them.

Re: New starting area (Ravenport)

I started at field 7 and now have fields 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 and 12. I’ve got 3 6bay garages, 2 large vehicle sheds and my house wrapping around the BGA. I’ve got my large silo and placeable fertilizer, lime and seed silos running along side of field 8. I turned 9 10 and 11 into 1 field. I’ve spent...

Re: New starting area (Ravenport)

I started with Field 7 and no buildings. It's a fairly big field and brings a good income. I recently bought Field 12 as well, still no buildings except for a workshop. I started with mid-sized equipment so the field work goes fairly quickly. Eventually I'll buy a nice flat area to build a home. Fi...

Re: New starting area (Ravenport)

I believe field 10 is the flattest field on the Ravenport map. You can place a large cow pen on it and not be charged a huge amount of money for landscaping fees. I like building my farms in the center of the map with fields 6,7, 12 and 13. The north area is nice also with fields ! thru 5

Re: How profitable are cows?

If a person is looking to get rich quick stay away from cows. If you have made a fortune and want to add another element to your game then cows are good. Just farming land can get boring. If you factor in the price of a cow pen and what it costs to place it along with the cows and equipment to feed ...

Re: The wait begins!

I think the reason people are tired of this game it is tougher to make money on it. With FS15 I would have made a million dollars by noon on day one. With FS19 money comes very slowly. I played a week on the Ravenport map with just field 7 before I was able to add field 6. With the patch the price o...

Re: What mode are you starting FS19?

In a earlier post I said I was going to wrap bales to start. not much money doing it on Farm manager mode. On 16 wrapped bales they sold for 17000 dollars. A lot of work for that amount of money. Looks like money is going to be scarce in this game. I started with field 6 on the American map it is cl...

Re: What mode are you starting FS19?

Re: FS17 vs GTA5

I have never played FS2008 or 09 I started with FS2011. FS2017 is so much better. I think FS2013 is what put Giants on the map. I also play The Sims. EA took a step back when they made Sims 4. Sims3 had a full world where you could drive cars now if you want go somewhere you have to wait for the gam...

Re: No more cranky dinosaur

I am sure there is vids on youtube how to build a computer dirt cheap. With a computer you can make your own maps. and edit your own mods, again youtube will help you out on this.

Re: Reverse drive tractors

I guess you can use these tractors as swathers using the mowers. I believe the Fendt 900 series is one of these tractors. Since the game has come out I have never bought a Valtra tractor so not sure which of these does this. My fleet normally consist MF' NH, Caseih and mod Deeres
