‘I’m not saying i’m good at reversing trailers, but I am.’ ~ FSG, 2024

[@Farmerboy123]

Haha I’m horrendous at reverse img trailers

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Hey, small wins, and I'll take them! 😂

If only telehandler buckets were as easy to get into bays and hoppers without all the crash, bang wallop.

@@glenjones6980 I think we can safely blame the driver in this instance! 😝

Mean FSG. Drove poor Stu out of the country..

It was never my intention... I feel bad now 😂

@@TheFarmSimGuy 🤣🤣 Looking forward to the new series (watched episode 1) looking forward to multiple combines, intrigue and cliffhangers. Watch out for the Son, seems the jealous, narcissistic type to me! 😆

Fsg is an honoury jock the yank has no chance 😂

[@edwardtaggatz3994]

Gotta see the good in the situation, now Stu can make twice, or even triple what FSG makes in England over here in America

Day 2 of suggesting you get a yard dog. I named mine "Cash" because just like money, he comes and goes as he pleases. He doesn't do a very good job of keeping the deer out of the yard, but since I got him, Not a single piece of equipment has been stolen! Cheap investment and a great companion! Plus, he's a tax write-off! "Security System" (Also buy the 7R 350!!)

[@maria-dt5ux]

Slow and nice steady driving helped a lot. Thanks for a really really great episode

[@cartech22]

Loved the mix of the guys contracting and you doing your own thing FSG.

[@DancerOfClouds]

FSG spoiler alert, you can bulk sell pellets at the sell point you placed. Not sure why they chose that approach. However, selling Bulk allows you to sell every pellet. With the Pallets, some residue pellets are always left behind (half filled pallets for example). So selling the pellets straight off the field, seems the best option. Great episode as always……

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Ah I’d not thought to tip at the sell point, thanks Dancer 👍

[@davidvanmol5199]

Love the Straw Harvest mod. Makes the game feels fresh again.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

It’s a great alternative to just selling masses of bales, a great bit of immersive gameplay

[@davidvanmol5199]

@@TheFarmSimGuy I agree. 👍

A couple of German Shepherds roaming the yard would certainly deter any unwanted guests..

That is just awesome with a high quality picture of the person, looks so much better

[@EnigmaFarmer]

Typical farmer abandons his forklift and leaves the forks up in the air 🤣🤣, Just loving this series, keep up the great work FSG.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I think I jumped out of it while it was still moving too! 😂

[@markfotheringham5154]

Hey fsg, I was thinking how profitable are pellets? U stuck in approx 60,000 litres of hay bales, for a 14.363litres in pellets?? How much would u be selling the bales to the amount ul make on the pellets??

[@MrBuyerman]

That's my query, too. The FS19 version, taking into account all the extra work, wasn't worth it. Took me a long time to get it to pay for itself with the shredder and the pallet factory, let alone make money.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I think over the next few weeks we'll get the data to prove one way or another, lets see 👍

[@markfotheringham5154]

@@TheFarmSimGuy loving the series either way sir 👍🏻

[@belfastfarmer]

There isn’t a whole lot of difference in the price for bales verses pellets. Also palletising is pointless. You don’t get any extra. Obviously youtubers will disagree. Because of the immersion argument.

[@needsmoredrums]

Backing up trailers in this game is always an achievement. I don't know about you, but I find the ones with real-wheel steering to be especially challenging. Great in the fields, but not so much in the yard...

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Totally agree, everything gets a bit too twitchy

[@maria-dt5ux]

Just knew it 🙈 You saved a lot of money there not need to buy and build it up yourself, you might even get a good deal there as well to buy the hole business 😉

[@maria-dt5ux]

Looks like your JCB needs some fuel soon

[@paulrogers4483]

Just a quick question that I'm curious about.... . If you're devoting all your bales to the pellets as well as both of your grass fields pellets, how do you plan on feeding your cows?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I’ve silage hay and straw bales in the sheds 👍

[@maria-dt5ux]

You even have the crane with bucket in the roof there

[@weztankersley2293]

it's great to see the pellet process

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Thanks Wez

[@johnphillips2405]

i have a question that is the mod you are using for your ai workers to get them to together like that

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

It’s a mixture of courseplay and Autodrive

[@johnphillips2405]

@@TheFarmSimGuy thank you does any of these work with grapes and olives and what about the headland manger mod

[@per-olofadolfsson4874]

I wounder if you can make silage pellets too? Not heard of it anywhere.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

No not heard of that one either, I bet a modder will tweak this so it works 😂

[@glenjones6980]

There's a crazy contractor on Calmsden at the moment doing two potato harvests in field 9 and 21, he's losing the will to live. Do not ask how I know this.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Whaaaaat I need to know

[@LukeGJPotter]

Does CoursePlay work with Slurry?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

It does but you run out quick, so you’d need to set a refill course for Autodrive for it too

[@jeremycripps4206]

I am not as over rhe moon with the pellet Palettetizer as everyone else is. From my point of view the money put in and the work from making bails to selling the pellets the end result to me its just not worth it.

[@DancerOfClouds]

You can sell the pellets Bulk for the same money as Palletized. However, selling Bulk allows you to sell every pellet. With the Pallets, some residue pellets are always left behind (half filled pallets for example)

[@maria-dt5ux]

Thanks for the episode

[@Agri_Ewan_Hay]

You should get a straw blower if you don't have already and give the round bales to the cows

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I don;t want manure though, Slurry's the good stuff!

[@RandySplawn]

Stu had to leave his dog behind. His dog might like to stay at Home Farm until Stu returns.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

You are one step ahead of me mate! 😂

[@RandySplawn]

@@TheFarmSimGuy Thank you. Actually I was just paying attention.

[@brianmillard3385]

hey i think that you can dubble stack the bales on the shredder i seen daggerwin do it during the first time that this was shown

[@ryno220]

The pellet shed needs a jcb teletruck

[@Bootneck-RMC]

Forklift driving could do with a wee bit of improvement FSG but, at least you made up for it with your trailer reversing skills. 🤣

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

😂 Gonna blame the straw harvest pallets, they are awful, worse than the in game ones, I think they've put FS19 pallets in FS22... well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

[@Bootneck-RMC]

@@TheFarmSimGuy 🤣

[@shanemay3797]

@TheFarmSimGuy, you are right about the physics of the pallets being a fs19 direct port. I was on Argsy's stream when he had problems on 22/1/'24.

7bales gave 14000liter? And 8 with straw. Down from 7+8 bales at example 8k liters each (56000+64000liter). Wonder if its even worth it?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

If you use the straw harvest sell point it’s about double the price for the pellets as selling the bales

[@kimejohnsen87]

@@TheFarmSimGuy 64000liter of straw equaks to 49$ (Max pr 1000 l) x 64 = 3136$ 56000liter of straw = 62$ (Max pr 1000l) x 56 = 3472$ So max those 15 bales is worth 6608. Looking forward to see the end result on the bags And thats assuming the bales ia 8k in each. I don't know how much they actually got
