What is your silage operation?
How do you chop silage for Farming Simulator? Created a poll with two options so you can choose a grass option and corn option, unless you don't make any silage. I personally like chopping haylage (grass) with a pull type chopper, so I do everything myself besides the tractor sitting at the blower, then for corn silage it's either the pull type again, or on bigger operations I will run the chopper myself and have tractors hauling to and from the farm.

Re: What is your silage operation?
Bale square bales that are wrapped, so far have pulled a chopper box behind a pull type a few times, hope to run some type of courseplay set up with a SPFH sometime.

We do both grass and corn in multiplayer, me and my mother-in-law's wife run choppers or mowers, and nieces run loading wagons and trailers. My wife, her mom and sister-in-law do the compacting.

Re: What is your silage operation?
I make grass and wrap it for the silage. I don't do Corn for Silage through.

Re: What is your silage operation?
I have tried a couple different paths for silage and this is the most efficient I have been able to come up with without going deep into courseplay.
- Triple mower or similar that windrows (player, cruise at 18 kph)
- Large square baler following the mower (bale capacity set to 10k, follow me)
- Large square bale wrapper following the baler (modded to wrap faster, follow me)
- Autoload large square bale trailer
- If using BGA, edit to process a higher volume and to accept silage bales
Re: What is your silage operation?
Playing on Autumn Oaks DFMEP. I’m using a pull type chopper for grass, triticale and corn. I run the chopper, and I use Auto Drive to haul the wagons back to the tower silos.
Once I get more cows and land I will probably upgrade to a self propelled chopper.

Re: What is your silage operation?
I mostly chop corn, but I do bale and wrap a small amount of grass as well. I do all the grass work myself and as for the corn silage, auto drive runs the chopper boxes and courseplay or vanilla workers and I take turns running the chopper while I level the pile off and help get the inevitable lost sheep back on track
Edit: I use a tractor, usually a four wheel drive, with a front blade to level and pack

Re: What is your silage operation?
I'm also interested to read what people do for unloading the bunker.
I really like using a wheel loader manually (using wheel and joysticks), but it gets too repetitive for 2mil litres of silage.

Re: What is your silage operation?
I use AutoDrive or Courseplay for that. Both works pretty fine with the latest versions.

I do that too as I have a similar setup to yours.
When I'm bored and playing solo, I pick a Grimme conveyor belt with a smaller one, and fill a large trailer with it to help.
In a hurry I make a path of conveyor from the bunker into the BGA plant.
Cheers.

Re: What is your silage operation?
I chose the grass loading trailer and pull behind chopper. That's the preferred methods but I can see myself using all the console options at some point. Everyone who says auto drive makes me jealous

Re: What is your silage operation?
I'm running a small self propelled silage chopper pulling a silage box. The grass is through a pickup head, it's pretty rare I direct chop anything other than corn.
I unload my bunkers using the Liebherr 622 with the CSZ silage fork (12,000l.) The maneuverability is hard to beat and it handles pretty well with a couple adjustments on PC.

Re: What is your silage operation?
I automate everything with courseplay. Sometimes I bale it with the Kuhn baler/wrapper. But usually I run a swath dropping mower. Loading wagons use the mower route plus delivery to bunkers. I sometimes have 6 tractors running on courseplay to do it all. 2 mowers, 3 loading wagons, and a compactor in the bunker.
There’s no place like utopia.
