Tbh making silage bales and selling them in barn. Price is solid it wont drop no matter how much bales you sell. Prices is around 4k/bale in easy 1.7k/bale in normal havent tried in hard yet. So I use 2 flatbeds 30 squrebales each and get about 100k (50k each) and PC use gowel lt mod, to make 5000 liter bales, you get even more.

Alltho I use krone big m, square baler and kuhn wrapper combo with follow me... So easy money if needed

I play on hard mode. No idea what pricing for chips is beyond hard mode. Hard mode would most definitely not see them at at price of 400. Hard mode pricing is much lower than that on average.

On PC use gowiel and make woodchip bales to get the most money aprox $1200 for 5000l on hard $1000 for 4000. Max price I've seen at sell point is $225/1000l on hard for loose wood chips.

Interesting...how much money can you make?

I make about 300k out of 75 trees or so.

I find silage is the money maker for me. A full clamp running constantly into the mixer will make me a mil or so. It's a lot of work but worth it in the end.

70k trailer
Field python (compacts the clamp really quick)
Wheelloader with 11k mod bucket

Atm i use one 7ha grass field. I get about 160-170 bales from it. So it makes about 272-289k/normal and 640k/easy.
But this is very easy money! Once you have planted the grass, you just fert it once in every mowing cycle to max yield. Then worker with krone big M+square baler+tractor with wrapper (with follow me mod) and they do their job and you can do something else at same time. After that just go and pick the bales.

No prob. I hope you get a good rest soon. It is really hard to work while tired.

And yes the heizomat placeable heating plant's prices are really too low. It is almost useless in the existence of Jenz placeable.

thats strange because i play on hard and the price of woodchips was 189/1000l with the heating plant i got 142/1000l and with the jenz placeable its locked at 125/1000l

I didn't look at the prices of any of them. At least in PS4 I can't see the prices for placeables. May be I don't know how.

The thing is my comment was based on my experience. I usually play on easy and I get a bit over 9k per tree (big one) on the Jenz placeable.
A big tree gives approx. 20k ltrs of wood chips (3,5 of them fills the BsM 70k trailer) which means Jenz gives approx. 219/1000L on easy.
I only once tried the heizomat heating plant with a full load of BsM trailer and got something like 13k for the entire load and that made me pretty upset.
Less than half what I could get from Jenz.

So, I don't know if it is map dependent or prices change in easy for different placeables. But that is what I experienced. Since then I use Jenz placeable or the mobile one to sell the load at a green price.

It's impossible to be any way accurate using that method. Only way to test it properly is use a a number of 8 metre logs cut with the scorpion king and take the average of 5 or 10 logs selling in each way.

[Irish farmer]

I played Drumard farm on hard mode I used the Scorpion King 2 chop trees into 1m lengths and drop them straight into Red Rock trailer normally 3 Trees fits in. I reverse up to the Jenz wood chipper with a small placable ramp and tip the load in and I use the ITRunner truck and trailers to collect the wood chips I think 4 to 5 fills two of the 45000ltr containers I tip both containers at the same time using another tractor so I don't lose out on the price drop I usually wait for the highest price which is normally around £600 to £610 per1000ltr which gives you a total of £54900 and I never sell below £500 per 1000ltr and I usually get 4 double loads before it goes below £500 per 1000ltr so in my opinion I think wood chips is better than logging because it's much quicker for me it doesn't take long at all probably 15 minutes of game time. I play on PS4.

Woodchipping for the win!

I use the Ponsse Skorpion King to cut 1m logs into the Jenz HEM 583 Z woodchipper (towed by a hook truck carrying a 20k liter fuel tank).
That spits the chips into my transporter that carries 160k liters.
I transport that back home where I have placed the Heizomat Heating Plant.
I sell all and return the transport to the job.
The stump-grinder brings up the rear.

I'm pulling in roughly $750k / day on easy, at real-time. I could make more if I didn't afk so much.

It simply takes too long to strip/load logs onto a trailer. Its more fun with a group than my method.

Don't forget to replant those little guys though.

I planted field 10, 6, and 20. (Goldcrest)
According to the stats page its ~4,300 trees.
Has anyone ever harvested ALL their trees?
