Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
Running a small household of horses and was planning to use my 'household mower', to cut the grass around the horse paddock and then feet it to the horses ..very simple!!
So I mowed the area around the horse paddock and got a huge heap of freshly cut grass ..only to realize, that they don't take grass?? ..only hay(realism takes some serious beating here)? Really!?
Went to the tool-shop to search for a little and stationary tedder, that could turn this heap grass into hay, on the go ..but no luck?
Looking at the heap of grass and are wondering ..do I really need to spread that heap out on the ground, to run a "huge tractor" with a "huge tedder" back and forth, just to turn it into hay?? ..come one??!
Thought, this must be an easy/logic mod-creation and went to ModHub ..but no??!? - Only large scale tedders, on big tractor, used in the fields..!
What I'm looking for, is a "small size tool" - for household machinery ..either for the movers, or the small carts, or gators(at max)
Ideally, a little movable tool/machine, that I can dump/empty my household-mower into, that will 'ted' the grass into hay on the go?!?
Any Modders around that can 'follow my logic'??

How about the Pottinger Alpinhit 4.4 H in the shop. It only needs 30 HP. You should be able to run it on some of the smallest machines in the game.

Re: Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
Well.. You can! ..but it's still a way bigger tool, relying on a bigger vehicle ...than any 'usual household sized' machinery.
The purpose/usability of the the small mowers.... kind of, goes down the drain, since I will have to acquire another bigger vehicle, that can run this field-tedder (and they could even cut the grass faster!)
Second, I will have to move the heap, to another flat area again, to use this larger vehicles(that uses the bigger tools) and then we are back to, ..why not just use the bigger tools(that we have in abundance)?!
I was hoping for a little movable tool(even a handheld air-blower), to keep it in the 'household' category

Why not changing the animal food xml so that horses accepts grass.

Re: Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
Have you thought about using a placeable barn instead?
There are quite a few hay loft type building on the modhub that will convert grass to hay.
You could simply dump your gras cuttings into the loft, have it convert it and take the hay out.
There are quite a few on the modhub, some are part of building packs, so there's bound to be one that fits your scenario.

Re: Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
There are many things in the game that weren't thought out, and require work arounds to fix. I guess the devs at Giants never thought a pitchfork would be a good tool for a farmer to have.
Waiting for a modder to come up with something is probably a waste of time.
Modifying the xml yourself is likely your best choice. You might be able to make the horses eat grass, or switch the grass to hay. Good luck.

That is some serious 'next-level' tunings, that I'm not skilled to, or dare fiddle with!!

Re: Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
Yeah.. I'm aware of that solution ..but it goes a little beyond the limits of 'small household appliances' ..just a tad!

Re: Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
What exactly do you mean by “small household” Those stave silos, especially ones that small are extremely tiny in the farming world. I think the issue is that what you’re looking for doesn’t exist in real life so it’s going to be hard to find exactly what you want. A tedder works by fluffing and spreading grass over a large area so it can dry more quickly. It’s basically the opposite of what you are wanting it to do. The only thing that would maybe help is the old moisture system from the seasons mod. The problem with that is people hated how it forced you to plan for the correct weather and it was often complained about. I’m assuming that’s why it didn’t make it into the base game.
Re: Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
If you use one of those mowers that directly collect grass into their basket, you could very easily do the magic and transform it to hay. If that would be some "realistic gameplay scenario" for you ...
EDIT: Just came across this cute little one by coincidence. You could easily adapt it to a nice stationary grass-dryer!

Re: Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
Got that corn-dryer already, but I have no idea, how to 'adapt' anything(I'm NOT a modder - not even close! ..but I would love if someone that could, would do the trick!)LS-Lara wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 6:40 pm If you use one of those mowers that directly collect grass into their basket, you could very easily do the magic and transform it to hay.

Well.. I was aware of the smaller silos for drying grass ..and I might end up with one of those, if nothing else is possible.UncleRico wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 5:49 pmWhat exactly do you mean by “small household” Those stave silos, especially ones that small are extremely tiny in the farming world.

As far as I remember(from my childhood, at my uncles farm) ..a tedder just 'fluffs'/turns grass, so it may dry faster than usual..?! - but normally, it still takes some time for the grass to dry..?!
In this game, the tedder just 'magically dries the grass' instantly, as it turns it over ..so still some 'instant magic' happening there!
I was just asking, if it was possible to do some 'magic' in a smaller scale ..as an addon-tool for the mower?! - until then, I found this Lizard Z525 that I might try..!
But still ..the obvious error, that horses won't take freshly cut grass..?! ..an 'easy fix' some say?!

Re: Stationary 'Household sized' Tedder?
That is easier than you think. On which map are you playing on?
Another option would be to use the maize plus mod. Brings a lot more realism to the game, and you can also adjust the feeding quite simple. It includes a PDF file with a good explanation of how to do it.
