How I Cut, Store & Transport Logs - Very Efficient - Farming Simulator Forestry Tutorial

[@MrFarquar]

Cracking little video mate, as a first tome.logger on FS this week, i might adopt this "bunker" method, as my logs are everywhere, all the time. Also criminal that some.of yiur vods are pulling in awesome.numbers and people arent hitting that Sub button. Keep up ther great work.I'll be checking out more of yiur videos for sure.

[@affarmz]

Thanks man, much appreciated 👍 I had the same issue with the logs too lol, with the absence of auto load for logs on console this is the best I think we have at the moment 😁 thanks for watching 🙏

[@ivendagsv]

okay so I can\t find the log fork, could you maybe send the link or something?

[@chrisjones6002]

I like the storage and loading method you showed. I have been using the CSZ pack big bad handler to load logs with the tension straps. It works well for the most part but can't lift as many logs as once. It's easy to attach to the logs in the field though. It can get a little squirrley if the straps have slack in them sometimes. I found the standard log forks pretty frustrating.

[@affarmz]

agreed, I found the Lizard Timberrr Log fork and it has been working much better for me due to the size and shape of the jaws. Thanks for wathcing!

[@matthewl1187]

The loading ramp mod makes loading with a front loader a pleasure in my opinion. I did that for a while on a map and it was easy as pie to load a trailer while above the standards 😂

[@affarmz]

I'm not sure I have seen that mod, I will have a look for it as anything to make log loading easy is always good! Thanks for watching!

[@mancwarrior]

i sometimes find that not strapping the logs down makes the trailer more stable as it allows the logs to move around and settle more individually as logs rather than as one large item, which is what the logs become when strapped

[@affarmz]

That's a good point I will try that, thanks for watching 🙏

[@ourher0]

Thanks for the tips. Currently a "2nd time" logger, so I'm not a super newbie, but looking to step up my game as my group starts a fresh map on New Frontier. Still wasting money on experimenting with the most efficient methods and equipment for my playstyle. Definitely going to incorperate some of the method and hardware recommendations from this video. Cheers!

[@Itsthatoneguy371]

I find logging really frustrating, this may help make it easier to tolerate. This is the first I have seen this method, it’s a great idea!

Hopefully we get autoloading for logs on console at some point that would be great, thanks for watching Brian. 👍

[@jakelewis7233]

Just a tip ive realised. If you leave a fence panel out in the centre. You can grab easier as the forks dont hit the fence and go under the logs completely

[@affarmz]

nice one, makes the loading super easy, good tip!

[@Digitallypleasing749]

Awesome video you actually make logging look enjoyable.

[@gunnas1128]

Hello mate, I use the silage bunkers with the chicken wired fence for the ends. Also, I drive a grab for a living at a timber mill

[@affarmz]

Hey mate, that sounds like a good strategy, I will have to try it out. Do you have any issues getting the logs into the silage bunker? That's interesting about working in a real life timber mill, how much of the real world activity, is accurately depicted in game I wonder

[@69nightghost]

Hey mate, fellow Aussie farmer here. I too play on PS5 but will move over to PC once I platinum. Excellent idea. I tend to not have logs on the ground long enough to need to store them. Your road train idea peaked my interest though. I recently uninstalled the TLX X52 logger with the lizard Bogeyman dolly that would allow you to road train. I had it set up as a b-double. I did away with it because the trailer, while longer, seemed more narrow than the trailer you're using here and when fully loaded, the straps wouldn't tie down the whole load. I've actually gone back to using this trailer you're using because in my opinion it is the best available on the modhub for console. Mainly because of it's length and capacity and I've found 8m lengths are easier to handle and load nicely too.

[@affarmz]

Hey mate thanks for watching much appreciated, I find the current trailer I'm using is very wobbly on turns the TLX trailer seems more solid. Still testing out the road train idea it's mostly just for fun as I move road trains for some reason lol. The point about the straps is interesting I will need to take a look at that.

[@69nightghost]

Not a problem. Yeah, I think I noticed the TLX made a slight difference but then again, I do try to fit as many logs as possible in to the trailer to save on trips. The AI helper is hit and miss with a simple driving task so I figured make the most of each trip. I get it, boys and our big toys. Road trains are amazing on their own but in game they would be super helpful too. One less trip to the sawmills, especially if you're coming from the top end of Silverrun Forest.

great idea about using the fences. and to think they are so many mods for this sort of thing. Not done much logging yet, did more on FS19. Will have to give it a go again.

[@affarmz]

I wasn't much of a logger either untill the expansion came out and Silverrun Forest, seeing as it was a forestry based map though I would give it a go. I did a bit in FS19 also was pretty fun, just wish there was auto load for console that would be awesome! Thanks for the comment man and thanks for watching much appreciated.

[@johnhill5806]

Every time I try and grab logs like this the logs have a fit and chuck my loader all over the place the logs end up everywhere. I find that if I cut the tree into smaller lengths and only pick up logs that have come off one tree then its always fine. The min I try and do what you are doing its chaos. Would be better to do it like this though for definite.

[@affarmz]

Hi John, I had the exact same issue lol, wasn't until started playing around with the fence and found the MultiBlade mod that things clicked, the other issue i had was changing the cut length all the time for reasons I dont quite understand lol, cutting from a plantion set up helps solve this problem.

What do u find as the best size to cut logs? 12? I hear 8-9' a lot..just curious ur preference

[@affarmz]

I tend to try and cut the tree into equal length pieces to minimize waste, I think from memory in the video the trees being cut are 36 meters long so 4 bales of 12 meters equals the length of the tree. The other consideration Is length of the log trailer also

[@SwartzTTV]

What type a trees are these? Are they a mod?

Can you put the link for the mods used in this video?

[@affarmz]

Sure i'll put a list in the description

[@anthony2cassidy282]

Like the accent you have. Thinking it was Australian but cant quit place it since you called it a truck and not a lurry. Anyhow i like your idea. Think i may use this along with my idea. Would make clearing a feild cheap, efficient, and fast. Ill get back to you or make a video if i find out if it works. The other thing is i dont remeber creator or name the items nor can get it right now since im at work. But i found ather mods that may help, 1st is a mod thats a cab over with log bed with one options has its own crane on back. This truck does really well and low center gravity. And dont use the one with the crane. 2nd Their is a trailer mod that matches the truck also. Down side you will only be able to get an 8 or 9 meter logs on it. The trailers are already set up so you can use as road trains and turns sharp corners well. And 3rd try out the crawler mod. Its a Leber track loader with weight and use the manure fork. Sounds mest up but use the straps on the manure fork along with the grabs and it works awesome at picking up large amount of logs. Its not very fast but its cheap to buy. Its small and a track vehicle so it maneuvers great. And down side in real life you would need a tad more reach to dump logs. But its enough that once you get use to it, you will learn to use the tilt to get the extra riach you need. Hope this is some help. Im a console PS5 player screen name "nisord427" if you like to add me.

[@gtrulez]

I really like using the Fliegl log trailers by HR Forst & Fahrzeugbau. The 4 axle trailer is perfect for 2 large piles of 6m logs. The volvo FH16 4x2 or 6x4 can pull it with ease. And you can adjust the center of gravity on the fly with one control. You can read it on one of the front poles wich setting you are on. Usually i just leave it at ~4-5 and it wont tip over or slide when empty. The Liebherr crawler loader is really strong for lifting stuff and can turn on a dime, it is also great to use on steep hills, it has alot of braking power. I love using the big bag handler of the CSZ pack. It can lift a ton of logs with straps. The only issue is that you cant use it for unloading a trailer. It is also great for picking up tiny pieces of left overs and use them for woodchips

[@affarmz]

It's a nice video with good advices. But I really have an issue with the idea of cheesing my way through the challenges with mods that are potentially "overpowered" and not intended by the devs in the first place for that reason. Maybe I'm in the minority, and everybody should play the game how they like. I'm just voicing my sincere opinion. I personally get satisfaction by overcoming the challenges intended by the dev team(even if they may do some mistakes). I just don't trust the modders/players. Especially when it's just about making the game more easy/convenient. And I play on start from scratch and hard economy of course.
