Re: New to farming? Ask questions here:
I felt like this belonged here over anywhere else. So I just bought the mod pull-behind forage harvester from the Old MF pack, pulling a loading wagon behind it..
I started on one field of corn, the wagon filled as it should to about 25% full; realizing not all of the field was ready for harvest yet. So I moved down the road. Upon starting this other field... I noticed the corn was being harvested but the wagon was not filling up. The chaff is not on the ground. I figure to troubleshoot unattached everything one by one. Turned off, folded up, etc the harvester.
Now the stinking thing won't even 'pipe out' and still won't fill my wagon.
What gives?

Of course! I'm harvesting corn chaff. Using the one with snouts, that looks like a corn head.Nigelbilt wrote:There are two harvesters in that pack. Where you using the proper one?
It displays the animation of harvesting corn, but does not fill wagon. And as I said.. now it won't even let me turn the spout around towards the wagon.

Re: New to farming? Ask questions here:
Are you using a loading wagon or a tipper? Sounds like the forage harvester doesn't recognise the wagon as something it can load chaff into or it thinks its full. Suggest trying a different tipper.El3mentGamer wrote:Of course! I'm harvesting corn chaff.

The cheapest loading wagon, by Pottinger. Makes me wonder why it filled to 25% and then just stopped?FarmerJimbob wrote:Are you using a loading wagon or a tipper?

Re: New to farming? Ask questions here:
If you are using a loading wagon it pickup up something in the field its self ( you were no loading it with harvester ) you need a tipper type wagon for using a harvester.El3mentGamer wrote:The cheapest loading wagon, by Pottinger.

Re: New to farming? Ask questions here:
Yeah that is weird tho I have read about issues with certain trailers and chaff fill levels. Try it with a tipper, you can get a better capacity for the same money as a loading wagon anyway and you can re-use it for grain transport.El3mentGamer wrote:The cheapest loading wagon, by Pottinger.

Re: New to farming? Ask questions here:
Oh okay! I'll either spit it on the ground and use loading wagon, or buy a tipper. Probably buy a tipper for how cheap and convenient they are.
Will test out this evening. Thanks for the suggestions; I suppose I just assumed the loading wagon would work as they're kind of geared towards forage

Re: New to farming? Ask questions here:
I've always used tippers, never really thought about using a loading wagon or even looking to notice that they will handle chaff, so you've taught me something there.

My grandson is coming to stay for a few days , can you suggest a map suitable for him to drive round as I think at 7 he is a bit young to cope with the complexities of the farmers life?

Re: New to farming? Ask questions here:
There is a bale shredder, but I'm not sure that it would come out as grass, probably hay still.
