Everything you need to know about Potatoes in Farming Simulator 22

[@AlRoderick]

I think in a future patch Giants should turn off the needs rolling layer on crops that shouldn't benefit from it IRL or can't be rolled (olives and grapes)

[@TheF0rseti]

The two towed harvesters have different characteristics and can be good for different playstyles. The Grimme EVO: needs topped taters, but can unload its bin while working. So the harvest is much faster, because it has never to stop if you unload it in time. Also the auger can be folded during harvest so it can be less frustratting with obstacles (like the bee hive in your video). The Ropa Keiler: Does not need topping, but needs to stop to unload. So a bit less investment and quicker harvest setup, but actually longer harvest time. Also the auger can't be folded during harvest. So while price, capacity and working width are identical, the playstyle really differs.

[@AlRoderick]

I suppose if you own the potato auger wagon which literally can't hold anything else but potatoes, the smart move would be to leave it full at the end of your harvest so that you can just refill the seeder from it when you replant the next year.

[@FarmerKlein]

Its part of the specialty crop aspect things are designed to move potatoes with out damaging them and as such moving other things like grains will not work so good. But honestly I don't see why they couldn't be used to move beets also.

[@neilharbott8394]

I usually like a little MF5xxx or Fendt 300 sized tractor with narrows for topping (good to know that crop destruction is still in effect after topping - not a thing in FS17 or FS19), but we still need to make sure that the harvester & tractor aren't also ripping up the crop - I believe tractors are set up with wide spaced narrow twins, so drive between the rows and not damage the crop. Also, you missed mentioning the (belt system) pallet creator - allows you to make crates of potatoes (and sugar beets) for more efficient storage.

[@elishavarivka8923]

Thanks for helping an old lady learn the farming sim game. Trying to decide which crop to start with…. Like the cotton video.

[@Senegal259]

Hiya FK. I've gotten a LOT of good info from your videos. FS22 is my first farm sim game. Signed up as a Farm Baron today. Thanks for your time and hard work on these videos!

[@FarmerKlein]

Welcome aboard! Thank YOU for being a Farm Baron.... :)

[@fatmausgaming7449]

You can use the Grimme RH24-60 (conveyor/belt) to put potatoes in boxes/pallets, 1000L. Then you can reuse them for seeding. You can't load directly out of the boxes/pallets into the planting machine, so use forklift or something.

[@FarmerKlein]

Indeed I forgot totally about that belt/pallet creation tool.

[@FoxRambles]

When trying to do this, and selecting lower belt and enable pallet creation, the machine literally does nothing. Is it me, is it a bug or am I missing something entirely?

[@fatherofsixwackykids2074]

Thank you FK for this video. I was going nuts trying to find potato's to plant. Then you mentioned pallet seeds my DAAA moment left me. LOL Here's my sign... Awesome how to video!! Learned about using the bees for benefit of yield. Thank you again and have a Happy Holidays!!

[@bobb3rdown676]

Since plowed fields don't grow weeds, do you need to use the hoe if you plow every time?

[@FarmerKlein]

You shouldn't no as the only reason to hoe would be to remove the weeds.

[@bonalste]

You said about needing to scoop potatoes with a bucket, so not to put them on the ground. Can you use a belt to transfer them from the ground to a trailer?

[@FarmerKlein]

Sure, check out my belt video for how to do just that.

[@adudefrompoland579]

i think that giants should change how rowed crops (potatos, corn, sunflower and maybe beet) work, cuz driving the grimme potato harvester by rows doesnt really work

[@joseph-ur2ks]

does rolling still need doing after planting if you roll before planting and make a perfect seedbed to plant in to

[@FarmerKlein]

Yes, rolling before planting does not seem to do anything as far as I can tell. I dont like the idea of rolling potato's as then you lose the mounds which are iconic of how potato fields look.

[@joseph-ur2ks]

@@FarmerKlein yeah. its maybe something giants need to change and make an option cos in some countries they dont roll at all

[@jonasfermkarlsson1808]

Einböck chopstar is not for potato. Its for corn. Look on internet.. And you can roll the field before you plant. It feels like many players aren't so interested in potato crop. Hope there will be a new dlc. Maybe with a potato sorter and washer. Maybe with a potato factory :)

[@FarmerKlein]

The fact is its a hoe and there for will weed potato's as demonstrated in the video and when the field info requires a hoe for weed removal. Sure you can roll the field before planting to bad it then says it needs rolling as soon as you plant...

[@neutralentr0py]

Looking at different vids specifically on weed testing I think scroft did, the small weed stages can be hard to eliminate using many of the other weeder options. This einbock chopstar is apparently good to get 100% of weeds so I actually use it for every crop type, any time up to large weed stage. Probably because it’s marked specifically as a hoe. Plus although it’s not the max width of the base game weeders it’s nearly up there anyway. That 10% debuff from herbicide man. reclaiming that makes mulching and rolling irrelevant.

[@FarmerKlein]

@@neutralentr0py use any standard weeder right after seeeding and no weeds will grow period.

[@hurpyderp2234]

K but how do u even roll

[@reecewestmoreland6137]

I think you can't unload it because it turns the seeds into spuds so what'd it give you back seeds or spuds ? Though i don't think i'd be a money exploit at least as the price of seeds per 1000 litres tends to be higher then the price of potato's per 1000 liters, and they're not used in any production chains, yet.

[@FarmerKlein]

it should unload them as taters if it allowed it.

[@kyfami]

What’s the mod that allows you to measure distances? Cheers!

[@FarmerKlein]

I dont know that I used any mods in these videos can you give me a time stamp to look?

[@kyfami]

@@FarmerKlein like the method you used to measure 150m in the help menu. Thanks!

[@kevinrobson7836]

Fantastic video 👏

[@roynl4189]

Hey ik have a question about multiplayer I want to play whit someone on the same ip but can't how do I fix this?

[@FarmerKlein]

Same IP shouldnt mater all MP sessions must go out to the giants servers for license verification so LAN only MP is not possible but multiple sessions are possible from the same IP as long as there using different keys.

[@roynl4189]

Okay thanks!

[@Xyxox]

First thought on yesterday's sugar beet video was "maybe potatoes will be next!"

[@kmjsuperfly1]

Everything you need to know. Don't even think about it. End of video. :)

[@mkoshao]

i kinda dislike how the game / giants act as if some of the sugar beet / potato stuff was not usable for both types of root crops... like the auger wagons and the ropa maus e.g. As if an auger wagon that can handle beet could not handle potato... also probably the three point attached topper I mean fair game that the harvesters are not interchangeable and crop specific... that is pretty realistic... But a lot of the stuff needed for beets would fit potatos too and the other way around...

[@Avlarrr1988]

TL;DW How do you replant potatoes? I have harvested them but now it will not let me plant a new batch. Seasons/plowing etc is off, so I can plant as I please!

[@FarmerKlein]

TLDR

[@SNG97-z7w]

In the question of what came first, the chicken or the egg, technically the answer is the chicken because the chicken is our closest living relative to the dinosaur so technically the dinosaur came first. Try not to dig too deep into that as we dint know too much about how dinosaurs came about

[@silentgamer666]

I would say the egg came first. Only because of evolution a chicken came out of the egg.

[@elishavarivka8923]

Potato chip factory??? Love potato chips.

[@FarmerKlein]

coming in the premium expansion.

[@elainebenes1482]

I love taters! Merry Christmas FK!

[@cobra5087]

Everything you need to know about farming but were afraid to ask!

[@TheGerudan]

Just as an addendum: Giants has published another self-propelled harvester as a mod. So it isn't an official vehicle, but it is done by Giants themself.

[@FarmerKlein]

Very true

[@SirSeniLiX]

It IS an official vehicle. It was part of the lineup in FS 19. Giants just has a tendency to use the "newer" machines instead. I'm personally hoping for some of the machines like the Grimme Maxtron from FS 15 to appear on the modhub.

[@tomrgaming5984]

The ropa should be able to harvest patato's whithout the need of the topper

[@FarmerKlein]

It can. Did I say it needed topped? Dont think I did and in the video I showed it being used with out topping.

[@borcarbidb4c581]

@@FarmerKlein o you said that you need to use the topper if you use a pull behind Harvester and you didn't show it in the Video. It even says so in the Shop description.

[@FarmerKlein]

@@borcarbidb4c581 24:25 im using the topper and 26:50 the topper is attached to the front and a pull behind harvester behind and the reason you don't run them together is due to the offset. So you can just top and then harvest.

[@borcarbidb4c581]

@@FarmerKlein the point is that that you dont need to use the topper for the ropa keiler (the yellow one) you can harvest without a topper, on the otherhand the grimme evo needs a the potatos to be topped before. Look at 4:24 and 4:27 at the description in the top right.

[@IGotsBadFeeling]

Rolling a potato field and undo the ridges? Makes no sense.

[@RiseOfMusic]

It does to, because a roller is heavy so it flatten the ridges

[@IGotsBadFeeling]

@@RiseOfMusic Yes, that I understand. But what I meant is that those ridges serve a purpose and it would make no sense to flatten them with a roller.

[@specialopssoldier1]

shouldve rolled the field first then plant potatoes if you like that texture lol blonde moment there huh. and also that 3 in 1 trailer you can just select sliding door mode all it would do is open that door and the wall will push out crops without having that trailer lifted up.

[@FarmerKlein]

ALL crops require rolling AFTER planting or seeding so it does not mater what was done before hand the field WILL state it needs rolling AFTER planting or seeding to obtain the rolled field bonus. So no I did not have a blonde moment.

[@waduheklite3800]

I want 15 mins video 😢😢

[@FarmerKlein]

Feel free to make one covering everything a new player would need to know about potatos. It should be a hit.

[@waduheklite3800]

@@FarmerKlein I mean u can speak fast and trim the video gaps and u can make cut shots, I always watch ur video at 1.25x speed 😜😜😜

[@FarmerKlein]

I have my own style and part of that is to demonstrate how things are actually done not just toss up some background footage and talk through the process. Videos like that I end up asking myself at the end what did I actually just see or learn? usually its nothing useful that can be retained. My target on these videos is not someone who knows how to play the game already. I'm looking to provide useful information to the new player.

[@colmortimer1066]

I like these myself, even when I know most of the info, there's always something he adds or I get thinking about, and even though they are longer videos, they never feel long. And if something comes up that I need to stop watching I can always pause and come back later.

[@tomrgaming5984]

Rolling a patato field makes no sense. Should be before maybe. But definetly not when its planted. A bit dumb of the game

[@cygnusx7]

Making a "tutorial" about something you barely know yourself. What a waste of the viewers time.
