[@a.y.9686]

Thank you! I did not think I would like this tutorial, But it was very explanatory and hit all the right spots. I can apply this to both 15 & 17. :)

[@Omegatonboom]

Your videos are the best. Fast, to the point, and no wasting time. You don't communicate anything that really isn't necessary. I just started paying this game a week ago since it was free on gamepass on Xbox. And I've saved lots of time on KZbin just referring to your videos exclusively. Thanks again. You're doing great!! PS I'm so getting farming simulator 19... a week ago I never even heard of these games lol

[@paulgoodwin6697]

thank you. your videos are really good .lots of helpfull info .Really love this game .playing on ps4 .thanks again keep up the good work.

[@karaoketrucker1162]

My Siloking won't take my green bales. Can you help ?

[@jame3shook]

after the 1.4 update, the in-game mixing wagons will only take hay (tedded grass) instead of wet grass bales.

[@karaoketrucker1162]

thanks for the help

[@wkd0]

James Hook this must be my problem ill try this

[@TekTiigroo_]

@@jame3shook so if you want to use your green bales (wet grass bales) like karaoke trucker said, you can't use it in the siloking? 'cause I want to start with cows and it's not that easy as it looks

[@cadenwurth8918]

Thanks, I was so confused when he sucked the wet grass with the siloking and I couldn't

[@mbaker825]

Thanks for these videos. I'm new to the game and ALL of your videos have been so helpful.

[@BigD1395]

I like your terminology "suckerupper". I believe the word you were looking for was siloking though lol. Your getting ah subscribe from me, that's for sure!

[@patrickmorski157]

Thanks for all of the tutorials, you just earned a follower and a like

[@zackryder747]

Thank you! This helped out so much! I was freaking out thinking it was going to be complicated.

[@kieranjordan2655]

handy video, good information :) though the machine is a TMR( total mix feeder) it literally just mixes different concentrations of food thoroughly, its used for total mixed rations for cows. common in dairy cows who need very fine tuned diets. dont want to sound picky its not refereed to as power food, hope it helps somebody :)

[@Moose2006LP]

I don't know why Giants decided to change the term in FS17. They called it TMR in the past Farming Sims. I just use whatever terminology the game uses. Thanks for the info, though!

[@firefighter1811]

The self propelled one in fs15 looked much better IMO. But great tutorial though! Thank you :)

[@SirN8Tnow]

Nice informative video. I have a different take on straw in power food (note: I do not use bales). Given that straw is the easiest to get of the the three ingredients, I actually use 50% straw and 25% of hay and silage. Why? Volume. I want as much power food as I can make and I want it cheap. Straw is cheap. Hay needs tedding (and ideally wind rowing) and silage needs compacting/fermenting. I use just enough of the latter two and as much straw as I can in order to fill the mixer then store the product for later use. But that's just my way... :)

[@Moose2006LP]

How do you use 50% straw and keep the ratios in the green??

[@SirN8Tnow]

I'm using the propelled version but it's a mod that gives 34k capacity as opposed to 16k (just fyi). I use a 21k tipper, get two loads of straw, one of hay and one of silage. Lay them down in lines. Suck up about 17k straw, then 8.5k of hay and 8.5k of silage. There is a ton more straw then needed but the hay and silage are in the green. The cows love it. :)

[@SirN8Tnow]

Did it again today and paid more attention to ratios. It's minimum 20% hay and 20% silage and basically 60% straw. If either straw or hay drops below 20% it goes red. So I keep them green but as low as I can get away with while adding as much straw as will fit into the mobile siloking.

[@chrisdamen1195]

ManCave2010 that's a really good idea

[@Stasiek_Zabojca]

Hi Moose, do you have any idea why feeding cows with food from mixer fills only 6000l of TMR and 10000l of hay/silo(!)? It's really annoying, because you have to do much more mixing.

[@Mr.M1STER]

I usually use one bale of straw, 2 bales of hay and the rest in loose silage to fill the mixer wagon. Are you fairly sure that it doesn't make any difference using 2 bales of hay and one bale of silage and vice versa?

[@wmurphy1979]

Ratio is 20% straw 40% hay 40% silage That's to fill any of the power feeders to the top Your welcome co farmers 🤗

[@kalvinbastello]

I have over 800 hours in this and didn't know it existed. Buying immediately. The time I've wasted!!

[@trainguy4861]

In the Sosnovka map, there are two places to feed the cows. 1 inside the barn and 1 outside the field next to the water. Which place do you put the Power Food?

[@Maktumekal_Ilzrei]

A nice trick you can do if you don't have straw or have an excess of hay and silage is completely ignoring the straw. As far as I'm aware the straw is only there to increase the volume of power food per hay and silage bale. Also you don't need to fill the mixer, so putting one hay, one straw, and one silage bale in will work as well, and can make it a bit faster, especially if you have hay and silage bales mixed together in the autostacker, and spike both at once, and ignore the straw.

[@Maktumekal_Ilzrei]

I also noticed when I was testing the mixer out myself, that the power food and 'base food' both go up when using the feed mixer. I have to wonder if that was a bug or intentional, to help folks who just want to use their hay and silage for the power food...

[@justusnorcross]

Cheezy McCheez

[@jadenschaeffer7409]

can you do a tutorial for cutting and loading trees

[@southwestcarwashes]

Thanks man! Always been wondering what power food is!!

[@srsso9844]

Thanks for the reply back, i start with an empty mixer ...today tried 2 hay 1 silage 1 straw with similar results, not in the green ...still no luck

[@idleitalian8697]

Same here

[@SpiritualBlackDimensions]

Thanks for that it was driving me crazy. My cow meters are all in the green now except grass which is at 0. Doesn't the grass in the pasture count?

[@Moose2006LP]

Nope!

[@ravemaz]

I don`t know if there is a bug, but Siloking SelfLine Compact 1612 doesn't work any more. Today the game was updated via Steam. Patch size was 900mb. It doesn't "suck" or unload. Also Trailedline duo 1814 doesn't work properly

[@scytherswings]

I've had a similar experience, I wasn't able to suck up grass anymore, didn't try straw but silage still works. Not sure what the deal is, really takes the usefulness out of this machine. At least for keeping the cow feeding area clean. My siloking does still unload though.

[@swifty6911]

scytherswings hi. it happened to me as well. the siloking doesn't turn grass into hay anymore

[@redbug3485]

Swifty Isn't the problem. Turn your grass to Silage, then mix Hay and Stray...now you got it.

[@MrDoomzy]

So it’s 1 part straw, 2 parts hay and 1 part silage or 1 part straw, 1 part hay, and 2 part silage? And what happens if you mess up is the mix as good as garbage?

[@Dani-ce9yn]

love the intro lol

[@brownbear992]

So is there any benefit to using bails instead of a forage harvested for hay/straw/silage?

[@summerraven3587]

Terrific video! Thanks so much!

[@jacknuss5147]

So if you make grass bales will it covert it into hay once you put it in the machine?

[@Yiberlin]

Great video man

[@avastyebucs]

OK, Moose. I have seen a little discussion about this in your comments, but I'm going nuts here. The SiloKing Selfline doesn't pick up grass, anymore. Any idea why this is or if it can/will be fixed?

[@josephranieri5847]

Because it is not tedded

[@josephranieri5847]

Update 1.4

[@AzguardMike]

now the % are wrong, followed the video and it doesnt work for me either. One part Straw, One part Hay, 2 parts Silage. Had a red bar. Spent an hour reloading and trying it in different orders. Doesnt work. edit: im also making sure i tedded the grass first because plain grass in not accepted into the siloking.

[@mistiyvette4745]

Can you do power food using buckets of silage grass and straw because I don't use bales

[@jackt.n.j1252]

Hey moose do you have to do any thing with the grass because my sucker won't suck it up please help 🙏🏻

[@Moose2006LP]

Unfortunately they patched this out since this video came out.

[@paxleahcimoldschool7443]

I'm playing this in 2021 and I did exactly how you did it but I used 1 Straw that was a square bale, and two silage that was a round bale, and one Hay that was a square bale and it through it way off nothing was green but the silage did I do something wrong or do you have to use just all square bales or all just round bales didn't work either way so confused?

[@Allylonng1416]

Yea I was using the bigger mixer mod that needs a tractor and it won't let me put hay in.I tried bales and tried todo it unbailed but it won't go and I have 1000 cows so please help

[@faithingod9554]

Alison Long i have 1 cow

[@jamieschaaf9658]

Great videos. Helps alot. But i still dont understand 1 thing. Do i need grass, silage, AND power food? Or just power food?

[@RcNerd]

the way you said SUCKED UP LOL. cheers buddy.

[@Moose2006LP]

Cheers.

[@RcNerd]

how do you sheet up the Chaff ive loads and still 100% compact but wount let me cover it to produce?

[@TheCwpan]

sucker upper, like I call the bale picker upper :p

[@TruePatriot127]

Do you have to feed them Power food? As in is there a benefit from it?

[@turbomazda3]

Siloking Selfline compact 1612 no longer holds 16000. the one that needs a tractor still is 16000. well it went down to 13000. so the ratio you show here dont work. because 4000 straw is to much now. no longer 4 bales fit in it. its more like 3 1/2 or 3 1/3 bales fit. and for some reason it will not accepted the square bales only the round ones. so now you are forced to use the suction on the side with loose hay and straw and silage. i have not mod on just the dlc add on's . just check to see if you have the same now

[@RoySkillz14]

You can also get TMR without straw. The silage and hay bars have to be between the triangles and in the bottom right it says that it is TMR, not the messed up sign.

[@tinkerstar40]

How do you collect just grass and dump it by the cows ? How do you feed your cows grass? Moose plz help or anyone

[@srsso9844]

Mr. Moose, thanks for all the great tutorials....I am stuck on mixing power food and ended up with {hay 7.69%, silage 61.54% and straw 30.77% in my selfpropelled mixer using bales.....how can i fix this ratio?

[@Capone-45]

Good job 👍

[@ogwolfey2610]

Nice Vida man, new sub keep it up!

[@seanglazebrook1869]

Hello moose do you HAVE to use power food or can you use something else

[@trevoradams6805]

Can you use square bails?

[@giraffe912]

My mixer is empty and i do exactly what u say with the bales and it gives me weird random percentages. Not 50, 25, 25. Do u know how to fix? My mixer only holds 13000 apparently… The sucker upper on my game only holds 13000 and the smaller tow mixer somehow holds 16000, idk what they did to the game but mine is messed up now :(

[@JamesSmith-pd2cz]

How did u get the loader attachment on ur tractor?

[@sheeplebarn333]

you drive to the garage and customize the tractor with the front loader attachment - not all tractors can be equipped with one - the you purchase in the store the front loader in the "front loader" category where you can also buy an assortment of shovels and forks and even claws that clamp on to tree trunks. the attachment for the small tractor costs about 1800 with labor and the front loader like 5400 and shovels and forks about 500 - once you get the attachment you just drive into the loader etc

[@shanmukhareddy7010]

the explanation is 👍

[@mikemueller2184]

excellent tutorials

[@tmturboftw5592]

5:43 how did u make it lay on the ground

[@tmturboftw5592]

Nvm u just hold rb+lb and press y

[@jarrenhowg1176]

what about using the square bales

[@wkd0]

When i do this when i do the grass one it says not accepted ? Anyone know why and it wont let me suck up grass could it be to do with the loader wagon im using to collect grass???

[@brandonwatkins5445]

thank you for showing how to do the TRM

[@thomashester6237]

Can you use the hay loft to dump straw into the sucker upper thing?

[@jassevergauwe5995]

Thomas Hester Hmmm..... I'm trying this soon..... I Will tel you

[@That_Stonks_Guy]

I did mine just like u did but it said I had to much sraw and not enough of silage and hay and I used bales

[@zombieloverita5486]

What if the hay doesn’t go in the mixer

[@JeffShavinsky]

I tried putting hay in here and it would not except it, I also tried putting it into the other one the one you have to pull with the tractor and it would not except it luckily I could get it back out again.

[@srsso9844]

i put - 1 straw bale, 1hay and 2 silage and the gauge shows Hay 7.94% / Silage 61.54% and Straw at 30.53% what am I doing wrong?

[@Moose2006LP]

It sounds like maybe you had some in there before you added these 4 bales? Are you sure it was completely empty before starting? If so, I have absolutely no idea what went wrong. Empty it and try again, I guess. Let me know how it goes!

[@jackmasse8227]

does the power food mix stay that way once its dumped on the ground?

[@Moose2006LP]

Yeah but you can't pick it back up with the mixer. You'll have to use belts or a bucket.

[@jackmasse8227]

Moose2006LP yea i got it working last night. i just wanted to make up a shed full and keep it on hand so i could keep using the silo for silage

[@madmaniac2910]

Great videos

[@grantbayer3463]

How did you bale silage? I thought it was only in the loose form!

[@Moose2006LP]

This will show you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYLXaXqEhLx8ebc

[@Mr.M1STER]

Wrap hay bales.

[@Stanley693]

when i try to dump hay bale in the mixer, it says "this bale is not supported"

[@phantomflows0]

is it hay and not grass?

[@Stanley693]

grass bale

[@jame3shook]

the in-game mixers now require hay - not grass - as part of game update

[@0031slipknot]

Thanks buddy. You’re the shit 👍🏼

[@donaldhillegass5998]

Can you do 3 silage and one straw

[@kobi7166]

I know I’m a little late but why does my self propelled mixer only have a capacity of 13k

[@antoniostahl1995]

this was a good help ty

[@zsvlogs9223]

Do you have a semi or any mods

[@armandofoo8761]

what do i do with the square bales, i knew i should use round bales smh

[@TommyMillerVlogs]

Thanks so much....I was wondering what I was doing wrong..lol...I subscribe by the way.

[@veddyveng]

Great vid, I just can’t seem to produce enough of it for only 150 cows

[@c_marts]

moose PLEASE HELP, I have the cheaper mixer wagon, I use 1 bale of straw, 2 bales of hay, and 1 bale of wrapped silage so 16000 units right? so I go to feed my cows and I notice that the power food category only goes up like 8 to 9000 shouldnt it be up 16000?what am I doing wrong here??? I've tried getting Closer to the actual bins, I have dumped it out and picked it up with a shovel, and tried to actual turn on the mixer wagon and wait a minute then feed.. nothing has worked same out come please help

[@Moose2006LP]

A lot of it goes towards the "hay/silage" section of food (you can watch it go up while you empty your power food). I don't know if this is broken or something they want to happen but either way it's really really really annoying.

[@c_marts]

Moose2006LP, so it's not just me then?

[@dupandashan]

I know it is too late but total mixed ration are not power food. Mixer make TMR - 60% hay/silage and 40% power food. With mixer you don`t need to put hay/silage separete.

[@herozeus6148]

Does the same work with square bales??

[@tinkerstar40]

I did everything with bail and I put 1 straw and 2 silage and 1 hay and it came out red why??? I did everything u did and it came out red I need heeeeeeelp plz

[@Devi9jin]

Can you dump Power Food and store it then pick it up when you need it ?

[@Moose2006LP]

You can probably pick it up with a bucket but if you try to pick it back up with the mixer it just disappears (unless they changed this in a recent patch).

[@Larki91]

I use this exact ratio and it never works, one or 2 bars is always red still and my siloking is full

[@ryanmoen6676]

Nice tutorials! Do you have any info on simulator 19? I know they will have a USA map!

[@rubygreen1249]

Great videos :)

[@feeler85]

My mixing resulted only forage, whai I do wrong?

[@ScottyTheGamer]

I done everything right like you said its not working says I got to much of something all the time

[@SSMJWolf]

why dose the silage and hay fill up too, for me half of the power food doesnt show as power food, but as hay and silage, why?

[@dupandashan]

I know it is too late but someone can read it. Becouse total mixed ration are not power food. Mixer make 60% silage/hay and 40% power food. With mixer you don`t need to put hay or silage separete.

[@Rene-pp2er]

I can't use the belts to fill the big mixer but the belts will fill the little mixer. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

[@trainsofsouthwestmichigan03]

thank you so much

[@efijycat1856]

I've tried but when I unload the straw just sits in it. And does nothing

[@bfbbassfishingblake2947]

[@nadyaeriksson361]

how do you do silage in the silo :(?

[@jakesta104]

i cant get the grass metor to go up

[@lachlanblackstock3857]

jakesta104 needs to be hay (tedded grass)

[@candysmith2167]

How do you get it to suck it up

[@wychowanek90]

I use power food, but all the time i'm getting 83% of effieciency. Any ideas?

[@Moose2006LP]

They also have to have grass and straw which should get you to 90%. Cleanliness is the other 10% but I don't bother with it.

[@Mr.M1STER]

Don't forget water.

[@wychowanek90]

Mr.Mister Oh thanks. I just realized that when I put grass in mixer wagon it converts into hay now i have 100 %

[@barefootbilly7026]
