Actually it will shred hay bales.

Not with seasons it won't.

Oh yes it will. I just finished 56 bales from Straw Harvest Krone and 19 from John Deere baler mod.

You are the only one I have seen or heard of that has gotten it to work. Check this entire thread on the number of times it hasn't work for ppl. I still don't believe it does unless there was an update recently.

I have enough hay to make a few bales.Will post some screen shots shortly.

The baler makes bales. It doesn't make hay pellets or shred hay bales with seasons.

Dark ones from Krone baler.
Lighter ones from John Deere baler.

No comment?

I really want to know how you can shred and pelletise hay with Seasons active. Mine flat out refuses hay. "Bale type not supported". Only dry grass works for me.

Sorry, I have other things to do then check this all the time. I don't get why that dark bale is consider hay with seasons. You are still the only one to have it work.

I’m guessing it works shredding hay bales because it’s unloading straight away into the hopper and not reaching 5% which is when the primor usually cuts out

I’d urge anyone not to use straw pellet pallets for animals,it messed up the straw on my animals on Rade2k19. I had to uninstall the straw harvest add on,save my game and then reinstall it to fix this issue

I had the same thing Patrick. The bar only half filled with pellets so I topped it up with straw and then the bar disappeared. I’m still getting manure and the health is not affected so I suppose it’s one less daily job to do.
I gave up with the new square baler as even using a tractor with high hp would be crawling even on a slight hill. Haven’t tried the round baler yet.
