playing fs19 the old fashioned way...

[chaskuchar1]

before today I couldn't play fs19 because this version of win10 would crash. last night it was updated for me and now I can play it, well, play it without the xbox controller. it still crashes that way but it's ok if I disconnect the wireless xbox stuff.
I am having to learn to play it in hard mode really from scratch... good thing fs19 has a good info sheet to tell me what keys to push. and I am learning which contracts to do. for example, I plowed field 11 for 2400. leased the equipment and after I was done I only lost 300 euros. no more plowing contracts for me unless I get better equipment. chas

I guess if you lost money you hired a worker? I have heard that’s quite expensive on hard mode but haven’t tried that yet myself.

Fertilizing jobs pay the best for the time to complete it seams...get the cheap spreader just for it

Do grass, buy a mower, windrower, a loading wagon and the bga and youre off. There are grass field to buy. I buy it, mow it and sell for the same price so i can buy the next grass field.

I have been avoiding grass. there is a mower baling contract offered. maybe I should do that? I am trying to not go into debt on the toughest mode and I just have been doing contracts. did all fertilizing and a couple of harvesting and have been testing plowing and conditioning. it is going to take forever to buy a house unless I borrow the money. I do like the ai. lots better than fs17.

Up the time to 120 for a few minutes, that'll repopulate the jobs list...

so land doesn't decrease in price that you pay for it? I did that to find a plot of land for the house and I was able to buy and sell it at the same price. about the hay, how many days to repopulate it? do you have to own the bga to sell the hay? do you sell it as silage or bales or just unload the loading wagon? lots to learn here and it is tough getting around playing solely on the keyboard. will be nice when I get the xbox back. I'm not going to get console for my xbox until the bugs are worked out... chas

hmmm. got to edit my signature... chas

Yes indeed, you can sell the land for the same price as you bought it and get the crops.
You have to own the bga.
Mow, windrow and collect with a loading wagon.
Dump in the bga silo, cover it and after a couple of hours its ready.
You can collect it with the same loading wagon in the silo and dump it in the bga dump place.
Easy money.
