Larger Working Width Windrower for PS4?

[Mdavis1967]

So in FS15 there was a windrower that had a very large working width (about 19m iirc) yet none of that size are in FS17 or any of the mods. The main reason for asking is combining straw swath rows in a single pass versus multiple passes to combine 2 rows with the 9m one.

Not sure why no modders havent made a large working width one (maybe a limitation of the available models to mod? I am not a modder so I really dont know) but having something that would span at least two rows of straw swath in a single pass would be great Giants. There was one in FS15 as I said earlier... not sure why not one now?

Thanks!

Hey Mike,
I am not sure if you are on Console or not but I will share this anyway.

A modding group I used to be part of before joining the team at LS Modcompany did a conversion of the 'Krone Swadro'. This will be the windrower you are talking about from FS15 and it is available here.

Hopefully you are looking for PC as I do not believe this is available on Console.

It says PS4 in the title so....

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah I am on a console. I really dont know why Giants limited windrowers so badly in FS17. I CANT be the only one that wants this....

The FS15 windrower was a beast! I wouldn't mind a larger one for FS17...

I might be missing something here, and obviously everyone wants to play their own way, but it seems to me it would be just as much work to windrow 2 swaths into 1, then bale/collect it, as it would be just to pick up each swath as it lies.
You'd still be driving the field twice, and you'd have to fork out for an extra piece of equipment.

What you can do is take the kuhn merger, and merge the windrows to the right, then when you come again to make your second pass push the grass onto the pre existing windrow. This will give you a total of about 18.6m, best part is you can go 14mph with the merger.

Kun merger to combine 5swats from the mower, or just use the kroner mower..

It is just less passes I have to make with the baler. Windrowers can run with a helper so merging the rows into 1 is more efficient. I have been using a tag team of 2 mergers to basically combine 4 rows into 1 but that old windrowere was a beast in FS 15.

Fair enough, I didn't realise workers could use windrowers, it's that long since I used them!
And yes, the big windrower is fantastic if you've got the acreage to justify it.

I'm with you, Mike. That Krone rake was a beast! I miss using it and wish it would be brought back for 17 on PS4. Maybe it will make a return for 19?
