Giants has made some improvements since FS15 (and even in FS15 they had made these improvements). It used to be that you would have to cut at a 45 degree angle before the tree could begin to fall naturally. Now, you can cut perpendicular to the trunk and at the end of the main cut a small notch just big enough to let the tree fall naturally is cut automatically.

Second day playing game, want to fertilize, but ran out I am guessing, so I bought liquid fertilizer, and front loader, and attachment, and pallet fork. However, I cannot control front loader, or pallet fork, and it sits at an upward angle so it will not go underneath pallet. How do I get the pallet fork to go under pallet? And how do I control up/down motion of front loader?

What platform are you playing on Carsen? On PS4 you hold down the L1 button and use the right stick to move the loader up and down and to tilt the attachment.

... And if you are on PC, you use a combination of the mouse buttons and mouse movement to control the frontloader. You can also use J and N the raise and lower the main arm, K and M to tilt the attachment.

Another question I bought a second tipper so I can pull two with one tractor, but I can't attach it to the back of the first trailer. I can't get them to line up. So I parked them both in a straight line and pushed the second towards the first one and when it got close I got an achievement, but nothing else. I jumped into the first tractor (attached to front of tipper one) and I see no attach option even though the second trailer's tow arm is right next to the first trailers hitch. Is there another way to connect? Or is it not possible in this game? Both tippers have hitches to connect other equipment but I can't seem to get it to work.

Never mind, I got it. :) Took some more practice backing up the first tipper.

Okay, another question, I bought a baler, and a baling fork, bailer works but I can't get the fork to attach to the front loader. It is still sitting in street where I pushed it. I bought a pallet fork and that works fine. This is on the Holland 8340. Do I need a different front loader?

Shouldn't need to get another frontloader, but double check that the bale fork you bought can actually attach to a frontloader. The Stoll attachments will only attach to the frontloaders and the Kramer, but you can't use the skidsteer or telehandler tools on a frontloader and vise versa.

The bale spike from Stoll for $600 is what I bought. It is in the front loader category, but it will not work on the Stoll FZ 30 front loader for some reason. Bought the bale trailer to haul them with, but need something to get them on the trailer. :)

Also, I can't seem to fertilize anymore. I back up to the containers, but no option to refill. How do I refill the containers? Buying a new one just gives me another container but still no option to refill..

As for the fertilizer spreaders and any other fillable tool, you need to have the tool selected before you can refill. As for the frontloader tool, you might need to position the frontloader properly before the attachment can be attached.

The Stoll pallet attachment will "attach" with no issues. All I do is drive the tractor close to it, and I get the "attach" option. I do the same with the Stoll bale spike, and I get no attach option. I have tried changing angles on the front loader, as well as the eight of the front loader to no avail.

Fertilizer, I bought a new pallet of fertilizer, back up my sprayer, and get no option to load it. The sprayer is the active tool, but nothing. I have tried it with cover open, and closed, and with the sprayer raised and lowered, and nothing gives me the refill option. :(

Ok, send us your log. This sounds like a technical problem. Instructions are in my signature.
