Harvest 2017

[eric21]

Why rush? I'm holding out until the dlc comes

What dlc is this? Or are you referring to the platinum edition

Yes the platinum one. By my calculation the harvesting, plowing, Spraying and seeding should be done by then

I See you haven't watched my Youtubes then

You just changed my simulated farming life!

[ErwinR55]

For the better or worse?

[redglasses]

Im pretty sure its for the better

[FordFarmer97]

For all the people who've never seen wheat. Found this sample in my dads office

[ErwinR55]

...

4 combines, 2 graincarts, 2 motherbins, 2 trucks with 3 trailers behind. 2 hours and 45 minutes or so, 80 ha barley 190% yield, 1460625 liters product after missing some pieces where I drove over or missed in the beginning by bad overlap.

@Rodha Just for your info, it is ploughed now

[RODHA]

Ahahahhaha... no kidding? With what and how long did it take?

[ErwinR55]

Challenger MT975E with Grégoire Besson 10m plough.
took about 7 hours I guess.

Started on the field with the manure spreader (manure buy by worker), directly followed by the plough in the same path.
By the time the manure spreader was done, the plough was half way over. Then I used Challenger from the manure spreader to hook on the Speed Hawk seeder and started seeding. Seeder caught up about 3/5 of the field done, so I stopped that for a while . In the mean time I was working (not much to do anymore) and or just looking at the internet on my pc and work laptop . Although yesterday evening I was busy hauling straw and food for my new pigses on this map after I started the plouging.

Funny though that the plough jumps over large straw piles from stopped combines when it hits the middle wheel, so I have all over the place unploughed little dots on the map

Next time I will do with 2 ploughs, already had 2 bought, but for now it was okay this way

hey erwin whats with the case headers on the nh combines

[RODHA]

took about 7 hours I guess.

I guess 7hrs is till the seeding finished, right?

Even the QT struggles with the seed hawk, how on earth did the challenger complete it? Yes, it is a plain field but still...

How many?

Jympas don't do that

hey erwin whats with the case headers on the nh combines

I was thinking the same thing while watching the video but forgor asking

[ErwinR55]

Oh well, hahaha, that's because I first used Case combines on Westbridge, but those were rented, the headers were bought.
Then I switched over to NH just for the speed of the machines to travel between fields. So I left the headers from Case to use. Got used to this combo.
Then on this map I just bought the same combinations. You can clearer see the edge of the red thingies too , while yellow is harder to distinquise in the yellow crops.


3500 pigses or so, couldn't buy more yet without having to put the money cheat on again . Maybe I will do again if I have enough feed for them. Now they only have barley at the moment, and a tiny bit of corn they magically produce themselves at the feed trough

But now I have 2 maps with 3500-4500 pigses, this way I never get to the 20.000 or so


No problems at all with the challenger, except for turnradius IF you don't use the MF weight in between.

Euh, no 7 hours was without seeding I think, but that only took 30 minutes afterwards. But I not really sure exact. Theres now 8 hours on the clock of the tractor, and I did something else with it before aswell. So that is just a guess.

[RODHA]

Ok, red header being visible in the yellow crop means you actually harvest in cab?

And leave that much pigs on their own, they will reach 20k in no time

[redglasses]

^^oh ya, it wont take to long
And this weekend is going to be epic, a two fie;d silage harvest on thornton will be quite the grind but should be well worth it

[fenixguy]

Just thought I'd share a pic from my latest harvest on Lawfolds. I got fields 11, 12, 13, and 14 done yesterday and have 6, 7, and 26 left to go. The whole "AI running the grain cart" thing is completely brilliant. I'm just blown away that I didn't know about this workaround before. It's going to make silage harvesting (something I gave up on) epic.

Oh, and I traded my BSM Hook for the Biobeltz ITR just to change it up a bit. This is a really nice truck.

[redglasses]

how well does the grain cart trick work with silage?? Does it work well on a short field?
