Hello!. Let's start the weekend with a poll. Do you like to use the plough, the subsoiler, or maybe you prefer the direct seeding?. Answer one of the options and tell me in the commentaries if you want You can say us your favourite tool for this things too.

That no-till thing is blasphemy to me. Ploughing is mandatory.

+1 for plough btw.

Growing up, we moldboard plowed every year, 3 rows at a time, 330 total acres. then it increased to 4 rows at a time, then when I was able to reach the pedals, 7 rows, 3 bottom on the 4020 with my granddad and 4 bottom on the 4430 that i was driving.

Since that's the way I grew up, that's the way I play.

FS19

Inline Ripping (Ecolo-Til 2500) or some other variety of ripping, or just a chisel plow. Occasionally a moldboard if I feel like taking forever. No Till isn't something I've done yet, largely because I run livestock and spread manure, and therefore wish to incorporate it in.

I turn off plowing, and I'd I have to plow when I start a map, looks like this "feature" is gone with fs22... I prefer a wide subsoiler/cultivator. Like the 12m JD one in fs19, the create fields pack is nice too...

Neither, a chisel plow and I edit a disk to give plowed state because that’s how I handle corn trash in real life. Plus you go at a pretty good clip with a disk… I like fast

Direct seeding.

Ploughing, currently using the Kverneland Ecomat, I've always found it one of the more relaxing and satifying things do to in Farming Simulator.

Plough is winning! I don't like it very much the plough, because I don't know to use it very well...

I plow in game. Another reason to really focus on how I choose tractors. May only plow once in awhile but gotta have something to be able to drag that thing when it needs done.

In real life I noticed some local small farms still plow every so often. The soil looks so much better when it's all smoothed out after being plowed over.

I prefer plowing to avoid stubble tillage since I usually don't use a direct seeder. If the field doesn't need plowing and I use a shallow cultivator, I need to roll the field to get rid of stubble tillage before planting, so the rolling step takes the place of the plowing step in that case. I don't roll my fields after sowing for a mere 2.5% increase in yield, so might as well just plow.

I turned plowing off. I'll either direct seed or use a disk or cultivator depending on what the previous crop was.
