Harvest 2017

[FordFarmer97]

Do you mean in-game hours? Or real hours?

[ErwinR55]

Both the same as I play on speed 1

[FordFarmer97]

Oh okay. Wow!

[redglasses]

Uh because 8.5 hours is like going to school then watching a movie after, that's crazy

[Smith Modding]

^^ what he said. I would have to do that after several days, I don't have the patience

[redglasses]

^^ya, did you atleast have help or were you playing by yourself

[ErwinR55]

Going to school..... jeesh, that's a long time ago.

I was atleast on my own. Can't stand multiplayer cooperation games.

[PsychoFarmer]

Damn 8 hour harvest thought my 4 hour harvest was long enough, I play without helpers and solo.

Also I'd like to see pics of the map

[redglasses]

I would defiantly play with three or even four players for a 8 hour harvest

[ErwinR55]

Some barley, this field took me 1,5 hours. (started around 08:00)



Some soybeans



And more soybeans


The last bits of corn (almost 16:30, the time I finished)



In the mean time everything manured, slurried and solid fertilizer spreaded again, plus ploughed and cultivated what needed to be done


Making a total of 153,91 ha. Only the grass fields not included (field 19-20-21)

I divided it into 3 sections to have around 45-55 ha in each round of ploughing needs.
The time I need for ploughing around 50 ha is the same time I need to manure, slurry and fertilize all fields together, plus cultivate one other section.
It is now almost midnight in my game, so that takes me around 6.5-7 hours aswell
Please note that so far I haven't used field 5 and 6 yet.



And some nice pictures from a previous harvest

[AgPro Farms]

Very good stuff, Erwin!!

[ErwinR55]

So, just planted everything again, 151.78 ha.
2 hrs and 20 minutes

Used 5 seeders

Approaching 3 hours on the middle field on Mustang Valley, using 2 NH combines and a Brent chaser bin

[FordFarmer97]

^^ I tried that, and it was SO time consuming

[ErwinR55]

On mustang Vally you can easily use more combines than 2. Easy to maintain a "do it your self turn at the end".
Or have 2 combo's driving 2-combines, 1 chaser bin.
Cut the field in half and start both at the middle of the half section .
Have both chaser bins also drive on AI workers.
Only don't know if you have enough time to also transport the goods from the field to the farm or sell points though .
