Would you use this if it was added to the game?
I was looking up different types of harvesters on youtube and this popped up as a recommended video:
Would you buy one of these for your virtual farm? I'm not sure what the advantage of using this would be, but it looks really cool.

Re: Would you use this if it was added to the game?
I probably wouldn't. It's neat, for sure..But as a piece of equipment in game it's likely expensive, and cost more to run and maintain than just a tractor and baler. In real life, it is also somewhat impractical. Still very neat, but it's one more engine to maintain, and it can only do a single thing. Around here where I live, haying season runs from roughly May-August, maybe a little more or less either way depending on weather conditions that year. After that, the machine would get put up for the remainder of the year. It's much easier for most farmers (especially around here) to have a tractor and "normal" baler. Because in the fall and winter the baler can just be put up and the tractor can be used for other jobs. Bigger farms might find some use in something like this though.

Hell ya I would because this is really just a game and using cool stuff is awesome.

Would it be awesome: yes. Would I use it: probably not....I think the cost of purchase and then upkeep costs would outweigh the benefits of ownership since it can only be used for one task.

It's just a concept not a production model

Maybe they would like to use Farming Simulator for further testing of the concept!
Re: Would you use this if it was added to the game?
Maybe but who in the real world is going to buy one of these things? It's been posted before but quite a few people here don't like it or sell well

I don't think putting it in a game would help them test it, but idk

Re: Would you use this if it was added to the game?
Yep, I would certainly use something like that. We have self propelled sprayers and mowers so why not? I'd quite like the convenience of not worrying about having a free tractor in order to get the baling done.
Re: Would you use this if it was added to the game?
I bet you could buy a tractor and baler for less than the price of one of those, then you'd have an extra tractor when not baling.
IRL I can see benefits with the operating position and turning circle, but the pick up reel doesn't look very visible or accessible, and you wouldn't want much of a slope with those tyres!
That said, I'd probably use it in farm sim, as I quite like specialized pieces of equipment and money's not much of a factor, usually.

Re: Would you use this if it was added to the game?
I wouldn't. For one I never use round bales, and secondly it would be way too expensive. You will already own a tractor in the game so then you just need to buy a round baler, which is relatively cheap if you want to get into baling.

Re: Would you use this if it was added to the game?
Same could be said for sprayers or combines or forge harvesting or telehandlers or wheel loaders or trucks . This is just a video game, more stuff is always a good thing

Re: Would you use this if it was added to the game?
I would absolutely use it! Nothing is worse than baling up or down a hill, once it's full you can turn on a dime. Great idea, great concept and most of you guys sound like you're playing with real money. Get Real..
