Happy Tuesday!
Several questions here regarding FS19 on Console (PS5 in my case):
Please note - these questions are solely related to farming in FS19 - not at all related to real word real life farming.
* EDIT = I do not play with the Seasons Mod
(1) Grass bales & the plastic wrapping to ferment grass bales into silage = after cutting the grass, baling the grass into bales, wrapping the grass bales with the plastic (excuse my very simplified way of wording this) - is there a waiting time period before these are “ready” (as in fermented) - or are they instantly automatically considered to be fermented with no waiting period involved? (Grass dumped in silage bunkers have the short waiting time period before they’re fully fermented and ready to go as silage, for example. Do the plastic wrapped grass bales have a similar waiting period or not?)
* EDIT = ANSWERED. Thank you very much!
(2) Using a mod that was just released today as a specific example - the Case IH 255 Cultivator (I’m just using this as an example, my question is more in a broader & more general sense relative to what different things can be used together - though I realize that’s too broad of a question to throw out here) - it has the option for a trailer hitch to be added to the rear (I love having options, so to me, this is always a good thing to see) - *but* - due to my lack of years of experience with the FS series and what I’ll just generalize as my limited FS19 farming knowledge of lots of things - I wondered “what could one actually use - attach - to the back of this cultivator, or any cultivator with a rear hitch, that would be a useful, helpful type of thing to do? I struggle with this same question in my head on all sorts of equipment/implement options relative to using X thing connected with Y thing, or things like attach X on front of tractor and Y to rear of tractor, or “daisy-chaining” multiple things together, to do one or more things easier, better, faster, etc.
The key here, whether it’s’ “realistic” relative to real life real world farming is not a concern to me - though I know and understand that ultimate authentic realism is very, very important to others relative to things they do and don’t do in FS19, and things they consider okay or not okay to do in FS19. I’m not at all meaning to offend any “purists”… I’m only saying that, for me, with FS19, I’m not really concerned with 100% realism in all aspects of how I choose to ‘play’ and enjoy FS19.
Looping back to the “what could be attached to the rear hitch on a cultivator?” - IF some other piece of equipment, tool, or implement could be attached to it - since it does have the rear hitch, I’d be interested to give it a try (even if it’s not really doing anything that’s FS19 significant but might be otherwise, like, just throwing out random thoughts here, attaching some other implement that theoretically would be making the soil even better for the seeding process & crop yield etc. (which gets into real world farming thinking). I could see how attaching a plow to the rear of a tractor, then attaching a cultivator the back of the plow, for example, would be something one might choose to do in FS19, for example (I typically don’t, as I actually like doing the separate tasks), but also at times would also like to find ways to do things a bit differently than my “same old routine” way (as well as forcing myself to use different equipment choices than what I typically seem to end up using out of habit) - which might make things easier, better, faster, etc. - *especially* considering I seldom use AI helpers and do all the work myself.

Many thanks in advance for taking time out to read through this - and many thanks in advance for any/all of your replies and for any helpful information and suggestions etc. - much appreciated!
Happy farming everyone!
