Found a workaround for the infamous Welker tire

[Bryan83]

I know a few players here have talked about the tire by field 2 stopping them from taking out the original farmyard and expanding the field. If you have the patience, I've found that with the landscaping tool you can "bury" the tire and cut a new field over it with a plow.

When I did it, I raised the terrain 2 "clicks" above the tire, then in gradual steps from the center out. To finish, I used the "Smooth" option.

I don't have any screenshots now, but I can take some later if anyone wants to see them.

Neat idea, thanks for sharing! I actually just made a grass patch with a old red decorative barn out there like I see here in Ohio

I went even simpler. I planted 4 of Alien Jim’s Medium pines around it in a grass patch and left it there. I can barely see it and I know it’s there.

I agree it is a great idea though.

I would like to see Picts. I tried but no luck

Confirmed! Raising up the terrain above the top pf this tire and smoothly flatten the surrounding terrain worked for me too!

Still got that stupid small tree not far from the tire... I wish they would update and fix this map. It's all I play on, almost 500hrs

Yeah, the tree bugs me too. Can't cut it down and it won't grow so I can. And you can't landscape under a tree, so it gets to stay there. I smoothed out around it and what I did (though in this picture it's not complete yet) was use the paint tool to make a small island in the field for it. Kind of like in field 17.

The tree can be cut down, use the Trex, just position the tree on the far right side of the cutter, keep working with the height and distance and you will cut a piece off then save and reload your save and the tree will be full size and easy to to cut down.

Thanks for that. I used the trex from a few different angles and had no luck. I'll try again this weekend.

Great find Valhall! Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been trying to get that particular tree ‘gone’ for many months without any luck. I’d used the “Lizard Trex600” on it several times many months ago, but it didn’t work for me, so I gave up on it and assumed it was hopeless to remove it.

I can confirm that this method above (as Valhall described) absolutely *does* work - though it took me several ‘tries’ - it finally did work just as described above. After going all around the tree at almost every possible angle, and moving the front end cutting section on the Trex600 up & down, etc. - not having luck and almost giving up - when I worked on approximately the middle height level of the tree (go figure) - that’s when it finally worked for me.

A quick mention of the famous tire that won’t go away - I used a hedge strip (from a hedge mod) - and placed it almost on top of the tire - covered & hidden now. The landscaping route sounds like the better way to do it overall, but I just wasn’t in the mood for landscaping that entire area just for that one tire.

Happy Holidays & happy farming everyone!
