I assume from your question you are using Courseplay so this is how I do it.

I have used multiple combines many times with both FS17 & FS19 so my instructions will be based on those editions of FS. I have not used FS22 Courseplay so I do not know what their set-up menu is like. But the basic concept should be the same.

First, position the lead combine where you want it to start. Activate the “Fieldwork” mode on the combine. Go to the “Course Generate” menu and do the field settings you would normally use. Then go to the “Multi Tool “ option and set it at 2 for two combines or to the number of combines you plan to use. Now generate the field work course and it will be a path twice as wide as the header you are using if there are only two combines. (Both combines must be the same with the same width headers.)

The mode on the far right of the Courseplay menu has the setting as to which side of the path the lead combine will take – I always put it on the left side for no particular reason. Now give your course a name and save it. Start the lead combine and go to your next combine and call up the saved course. Check that it will take the right side of the harvesting path and start it on its way.

To avoid conflicts of “right-away” I always let the lead combine get a long ways ahead of the following combine. Hope this helps and even with separation you will probably get some conflicts but Courseplay has really become a pretty stable product and have used multiple tools a lot, cultivating, seeding and harvesting.

Good luck.

A lot has changed regarding multi-tool in Courseplay 22. It's currently in Github testing and has some growing pains. I'd advise waiting until it's feature complete.

Tyvm for the help will try it.
