Transporting pallets on PS4

[Jpeterson]

Hey everyone. Just recently started to play FS19 and I have become obsessed with it! Haha

I’m trying to figure out how to transport pallets so I can do some transporting contracts while workers sort out my farm. I’m using the Sussex farm map and I’ve bought a tracker with a front loader and pallet fork. I’ve then bought a flatbed trailer. My idea was to load the pallets on the flatbed using the front loader. It doesn’t seem to work! The pallets stick in the forks and won’t load into the trailer.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way?

Tilt the forks slightly and let it drag on trailer

You need to be fairly precise when inserting the forks in to the pallet. Take your time and make sure the forks are flat and try and make sure they are hitting the middle of the slot in the pallet. If it's too high or too low then they tend to get bound up on the pallet.
If they do get stuck, sometimes it helps if you detach and then reattach the forks on the loader (doesn't always work though).
The CSZ pack includes autoload pallet forks so check them out and see if they help you out if all else fails.

^^^ Use the CSZ pack fork pallet... It's going to make your life a lot easier. It is not autoloader in the console but will discover the magic.

I’ve downloaded the CSZ pack. It has a much better selection of forks etc! I can’t workout how you get the forks to auto load though?

Im in the same boat actually... Knew that autoload wasnt available, so never spent much time using the CSZ forks as i wasnt a fan of them all being black. What is this 'magic' you mention JamP? It might make me overlook the colour if it simplifies loading a little.

As to the original question, i can load pallets (and am getting faster the more i do) but find it a little time consuming with the amount of wool im producing. The two things ive found make the difference is
1) Viewing from the side so i can judge exactly where im placing it, and can see the angle the forks are at underneath the pallet.
2) Using the 3-point forklift mod on the front of a truck (they are straight up/down, and eliminate the forks changing their angle as you raise and lower like i get with my MF skid-steer loader. They also have a little indicator on the bottom that means you can get the right height right away). I actually mount it on the D754 truck with a flatbed back. That way i can drop the flatbed, drive out and load pallets on to it with the truck, then back the truck back under the flatbed and drive off. An all in one solution. Plus the truck has so many other backs for other purposes.

If you DO use a skid steer, i really like the MF mod, as you can remove the cage roof, and it gives FAR better visibility.

If you’ve got the CSZ pack then id recommend the big bag lifter. Thank me later

If i remember correctly it should be towards the end of the csz options in the relevant category (frontloader, telehandler, etc etc)

There is a big bag handler?

[Jpeterson]

OMG I’ve got it. It’s amazing!

When picking up a pallet you want the forks to be angled up slightly when you insert the forks and then you can tilt them down to retract from the pallet.

Learned that from spending days building my warehouse.
