Farming Simulator 17 Tutorial - What is a Forage Harvester?

[@cheshirecatproductions]

PLEASE keep making these tutorials about the individual machines!

[@kingarthursims]

I should. I may wait till 19 comes out. Been a busy summer.

[@celesteforest7693]

I love your tutorials so much! thanks for taking the time to make them all!

[@kingarthursims]

Glad I could help Celeste

[@binkzz7073]

Your a life saver there is so much to this game. Farming in general.

[@kingarthursims]

Glad to be of service Colin!

[@derrickschneider6052]

I grew up on a small farm and we did it with a flial chopper and a wagon most of the time and put it in a standing silo. I didn't even know there were such things as bunker silos. Turns out a farm a few miles away from me has a bunker silo and I must say they are much bigger in person than in the game

[@kingarthursims]

They are absolutely HUGE

[@Inge.Borthne]

I found out that the new snowblower mod can collect silage, straw, hay and grass and of course snow so you save a lot of time on the farm. It also fills your trailers when you use it.

[@RobertSmith-uh1me]

Hello first of all I just like to say thank you for all your tutorials I’ve been playing the game for about three weeks on Xbox still trying to find other people to play with do you know any good way of searching for new friends To play with thank you

[@thegamingnerfer1498]

one time i saw a big John Deere forage harvester less then 5 miles from my house but just like you said it is usually trailed behind

[@kingarthursims]

Nice - The dealer in Wadsworth has a couple.

[@dorothywiseman567]

What is the different between shaft? How do ya get it...what do ya do with it...?

[@kingarthursims]

Chaff comes from chopping up corn with the Forage Harvester - You take the chaff you collect and put it in a bunker - you then drive over it to compress it 100 percent - once its compressed you cover it and in the morning it will be silage - you can either sell the silage at the BGA OR use it to feed your cows.

[@upstatguy518]

Dorothy, I have a great tutorial on what to do with shaft.

[@bucket1442]

big mower is real great cuz it saves you 3 passes cuz it mows and collects and if u did it with normal mower you'd need to mow, windrow and collect

[@HPsauce1234]

you can force tip your grass were ever you like, just get a conveyor to pick it up

Can you please make a video about front loaderers in farming simulator 22, arthur?

[@kingarthursims]

Here is the mod I was using - www.fsmods17.com/fast-forward-v-2-0-fs17/

[@MrDaChicken]

The swath pick up head is used to greatly increase efficiency. Mow grass with 13.5 neter Krone big M. follow with harvester. the direct cut head is only 6 meters. Or, mow grass, rake with 19.5 meter rake. Harvest with pick up head. Added benefit of keeping the harvester closer to 100% load, with having field speeds be too high. Breaking equipment that costs in excess of a million dollars for everything you need to take silage off on a large scale makes Dad VERY upset. :) Yes i know Farm sim doesn't take this in to account, except for the efficiency really. In real life one does this to control the moisture of the product going in to the silo by allowing the grass to dry down some. It matters. Same thing applies to corn in real life. One wants a certain moisture range to facilitate fermentation without excessive spoilage or "seeping", which is a lot of liquid running out of the bottom of the silo.

[@kingarthursims]

Yeah I have seen guys with the hygrometers, or what every you call them - measuring the ground moisture to insure the best possible harvest yield. I figured it would be best practice to use the pick-up header so that the other equipment does most of the work and you forager is left doing just that - foraging.

[@Moorgoth67]

I use a Bergman loading trailer, do those work with foragers?

[@kingarthursims]

It should - Most do in 17

[@tmercer09]

Hey everybody. I have a question about how you get your mowers and windrower to attach like that? I’m not able too. Also, I’m on PS4 (unfortunately) so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it...

[@kingarthursims]

Its has to be the exact mower set I was using, and you should be able to do it on console. If you cant attach the little mower, try reversing the double mower and then see if it will connect. Think you can connect the doubles both ways, so they have to be on the right way to work.

[@kingarthursims]

Grass.

[@gulfmedic1]

ok so you can have people help you with your farm? is this in the game or on MP

[@kingarthursims]

gulfmedic1 in game you can hire AI workers (robot workers lol). In multiplayer you can have your friends help you and also still hire the bot workers

[@SugaSugaB]

I know this is supper late. But I have harvesting a field and the harvester stopped working. I rest everything but still the field is still not havesting. Can anyone help? Please and thank you.

[@kingarthursims]

a couple of things may have happened - is it raining? Are you mixing 2 different crops? Did the crops turn withered? any of these will result in you not being able to harvest. Hope that helps you head in the right direction.

[@Charger-ju6kq]

I know this is off topic but there's nothing better than some Ohio sweet corn lol

[@kingarthursims]

My Grandpa used to pick up sweet corn from a roadside stand. It was SOOOO GOOOD.

[@Charger-ju6kq]

Arthur Chapman that's the best way to do it haha, fresh from the farm to the table

[@dewaynehovey2374]

When I put a worker on a triple pottinger with windrower the worker develops a case of the dumbass. Ideas?

[@matejradovan629]

What mode is this?

[@kingarthursims]

I don't understand what you are asking. Are you asking what "mod"? If so, I didn't use any mods in this video - its all stuff that is already in the game

[@matejradovan629]

Sory it was a glitch and r didn't work.

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

Has anyone found a mod to sell silage without dumping it on the ground in front of a conveyor

[@kingarthursims]

You could always just make silage bales and sell them at the red barn. Some mod maps have "dump friendly" bins and if you can find a loading ramp, you could put it in front of the tank and drive a tipper up.

[@11McLac64]

Can I add you to my friends list

[@kingarthursims]

Sure

Playing Forza but watching this though I don’t have FS19 Seems legit
