Is it limited to fields? Idk if that only applies to poplars or if it's both poplar and sapplings

I own the land but it had trees prior that i cut down not all but a chunk of it i cleared including stumps. And yes I lowered it hence the digging animation.

I can tell you from working standard maps that you do not need to plow before planting. I have even planted on exposed ledge with no problem. You can plant on the headlands with no issues. The standard in game Damcon 75 planter works fine for planting tree saplings (load with saplings, lower planter, turn on planter and go. The Damcon 75 plants a single row spacing them about 5-6 meters apart. They appear as tiny slivers of silver and you can drive right thru them for the first day. After that you can't. You do have to own the land to plant. If you are close to the property boundary having this issue then it is likely that the boundary line is the issue, and your trees may be on the wrong side of it. If you are having the issue in the middle of the field then it may come back to an item count issue. The game does have a limit on the number of trees that can be on it. If that is the case it should have given you a message saying you need to remove some more trees first. Custom maps with alot of trees have written an over ride command in to allow them to exceed the game limit, but it doesn't cover planting trees. So it will not let you plant a single tree until you get the tree count back down below the standard game limit. Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with the Griffin map for any quirks it may have.

There is also a Damcon 75X planter mod, but the difference is that it changes the spacing between trees to 3-4 meters.

Hope there is some useful information in here for you.

I just tried looking up the base game tree count limit. The only reference I could find put the count between 1,650- 1,700 trees. If there is someone who has different and or better information please post it. I would like an accurate number.

If you have the Placeable Sell Points by Loki_79 that may be the issue as it was preventing the tree planter from actually planting saplings. He just came out with an update last Thursday that fixes it. So you may need to update that.
