Allenstein Cow Barn Feeding and bedding issue

Allenstein map - cow barn
Replicating- appears to be random read below given my 3 farm attempts.

Issue:
The following has happened on 3 separate farm attempts.

Cow Barn "locks" and on two occasions TMR could not be added. And on one occasion Straw could not be added. Feed is being added to the yellow marked floor section inside the cow Barn. Animal overview page shows volume can be added. No amount of attempts will allow TMR to be added. TMR is mixed correctly in all attempts with mixer wagon reading all green or the TMR had been pre mixed and stored in the placeable silo and then transported to cow barn via tipper.

Tried TMR mixers direct. Tried tippers to dump. Front loaders to dump. In all attempts the quick reference control page shows key commands. With tippers there is a dump icon lower right. Buckets dump but product doesn't exit the bucket. Tried moving to all areas of the yellow marked box to dump didn't work, with bucket left in dump position and moved around didn't work. Button combinations act "dead". However hay and silage can be added separately by any tool. All tools functioning correctly allowing either mixer or tipper to dump the TMR to ground or back to silo.

Farm one deleted after about 30 hours of play. Farm two deleted after about 65 hours of play

Farm attempt 3 same issue described above but happened with Straw. TMR working fine. Can't add straw to Barn. Straw locked at about 50% fill as per gauge. Allowed straw to be consumed down to zero, manure stopped depositing as confirmation. Manure pile less than max at 35245 lbs. Barn still won't take straw.

Tried the following

Straw bales direct to floor won't take them - had in earlier stages of game
Bulk straw from 2 different tippes to floor won't take - had in earlier stages
Straw blower won't take - even tried turning on blower outside of barn door to start process of straw blowing works fine, and then backed into the yellow square inside cow Barn. Straw continued blowing and buried the cows in a pile of straw but Barn didn't take the straw.
Uninstalled map, turned off FS17' restarted and reloaded map, no change

Farm three deleted at 200 hours

Observation - remainder of game and cow / milk / manure production all normal

In all cases the issue is similar in that the gauges indicate product can be added. Tool commands are there and your tools (equipment) work everywhere else on map except inside the cow Barn inside the yellow marked floor area. In all cases the tools had been used before to supply the barn with feed or straw and the stopped working. In all cases game and map was working fine and then stopped functioning without a notable reason.

Have several other cow farms on others maps without issue, only this map.

Cow herd size - ranged from 30 - 149 dependent on farm

Hope this helps to find a cause. Map is challenging and fun to play on, when working.

I have the exact same problems on PC. A friend of mine experienced it on his XBOX. Our solution was to delete the map an finde a new one. I've seen many reports on this and no reply how to fix it, or if it is going to be fixed. Kind of surprized this wasn't detected during testing?
