Jd cotton harvester??

[NickCooper]

Did the jd cotton harvester get fix. So you can totally unload the machine. Thanks Nick

Nope. Did my first ever cotton harvest yesterday and can't get the last bit out so I can't fold it down and get it back in the shed.

Reset it.

Reset it.

Cotton is worth to much money for that.

I posted a bug report about it right after it was released and heard nothing back from giants.

What's the least amount it will unload?

What's the least amount it will unload?

I haven't tried it but it sounds like it'll only unload a full bale

Not a full bale i think 2500 liter that goes in to the hopper

Whist not a solution to the problem, it does give me some food for thought on an edit I’m working on of this harvester. Might be worth me modifying the hopper capacity to make it smaller and increase the actual bale capacity instead. That way if you do need to reset the harvester to fix the folding issue, you won’t have anywhere near as much cotton in the hopper to lose.

Edit: In fact looking at the xml, I just need to change value on one line to allow it to fold:
<fillUnits allowFoldingWhileFilled="false" allowFoldingThreshold="2500">
So editing that means I wouldn't need to adjust any of the internal hopper or bale capacities.

JD Cotton harvester is as protected as the Claas DLC. So no edits of that one unless strictly private.

Another thing to try with the Cotton Baler would be to see if the Unfinished Bale Mod will let you empty and unload it fully. Might have to tweak the settings in the mod to get it to empty at the correct fill level percentage.

I had also problem that the CottonPicker did not fold when having more than 375 l cotton in the pre-chamber (2500l capacity). However increasing the threshold from 2500 up did not solve this. The solution for FS22 which I have tested (and it works) was to change - in the <combine> section - following :
<folding allowWhileThreshing="false" />
in

<folding allowWhileThreshing="false" fillLevelThresholdPct="1" /> <!-- where 1 equals 100% of 2500l capacity -->

for FS19 maybe a solution is (I have not tested this):

<folding allowWhileThreshing="false" fillLevelThreshold="2500" />

I base this on FS19 LUA.DOC :

entry.foldFillLevelThreshold = Utils.getNoNil(getXMLFloat(xmlFile, baseKey .. ".folding#fillLevelThreshold"),
(self:getFillUnitCapacity(entry.fillUnitIndex) or 0.04) * 0.15)

Pls notice that folding the cottonpicker till 15% (0.15*2500=375) was available.

I hope this helps all concerned
