Wool Pallet Loading

Post by annasgramma »

A clueless farmer needs help! I have four sheep pastures (BTW, I absolutely detest the terrain alteration!) Lots of sheep generate lots of wool. Is there an autoloading flatbed-type trailer I can use to autoload the full pallets to take to the spinnery? I find it difficult and time consuming to take pallets one at a time to the spinnery. Thanks for any suggestions. I can download a mod if necessary, but something already in the game would be preferable, if available. I understand if nothing is available, but automation is a good thing!

There is an autoload bale trailer on PC but I don't think it takes pallets.

there are a few in game trailers that will allow you to load more than one pallet at a time.

Take the bag n lifter. It can handle about 4 palets of wool and Lift them onto the fliegl bale-trailer. It is mit Automatic but much faster as with a fork...

My wool comes slowly enough now I can load it with out too much hassle on a trailer, it's having to unload them all with a forklift that is making me want to get rid of the sheep. Seem like most things you either unload/overload or they pop out when you get to the sell point, wool won't pop out unless I take it off the trailer. :(

Which trailer are you using? I had that problem with the small ‘convertible’ flatbed, when I use the fleigl bale trailer configured as a flatbed it sells directly without unloading.

Yeah, the small one with various volumes, and a flat setting. meh. I was thinking of getting a better trailer anyway, guess it's time.
It was kind of fun tipping the trailer over with the forklift, and pushing the bales around, but only once.

I think it was a bad idea to change the wool pallet volume from 4k on FS17 to 1k on FS19.
Even with 50 Sheep, it's just way to much hassle, even more so considering the not so great pallet loading physics.

I got the fleigl bale trailer, but there were no config options, except tires and load left/right.
I had trouble putting bales of silage in it, until I closed it and put them in the top, haven't gotten to try wool yet.
to sell the silage bales I had to open it.

The other fliegl trailer is the one I meant.

In 17 they are 2k per pallet (at least with Seasons running; maybe they were bigger without? I don't actually recall now), but that's a detail. I agree it seems funny to make them so small in 19.

I haven't even gotten around to owning sheep yet but would the cotton bale trailer work for hauling wool pallets? I know it can lift up and down but I dont know if the pallets would slide off or stay in place when you lift it up.
