Krone BiG X 1100 - Farming Simulator 15 Tutorial Part 1

Part II here - • Krone BiG X 1100 - Far...
The Krone BiG X 1100 is often misunderstood by newer players because it is categorized as a harverster, but my friends its SOOO much more.

[@josepharnett6733]

Like most people, I had written the "Big X" off due to bad information. Then I stumbled across this video. Intrigued, I decided to sell crap-tons of silage so I could try it. I absolutely love it! Thank-you so much for the in-depth analysis. I am now a new sub to your channel and am catching up on all your other vids. Great work! Much appreciated!

[@Vbluguitar]

Joseph Arnett No problem Joseph! Once you get your first forager, you will always have one.

[@jeremymcstravick9162]

Believe it or not I've just discovered this game on my old xbox 360. Your tutorials are awesome and have been invaluable to properly get started. Thanks so much for all your work.🤘

[@Vbluguitar]

Glad to hear it!

[@lay-z-lee9726]

I only watch your channel when it comes to ANY and ALL Farming Simulator videos. I have always wanted to do the cows in my game and watching this video has really opened up my eyes to a new world to silage. Please keep the videos coming!!! Your doing a great job and have so many tips and tricks to show and I have used %90 of the game. Thank you!!!

[@Vbluguitar]

My pleasure Brad - I sure will!

[@grandpasgaming3029]

I just bought and your the first person to make sense!! Thanks. Looking forward to the rest of your vids!!

[@Vbluguitar]

Grandpa's Gaming Your Welcome Grandpa! Season 3 is coming soon.

[@PFMTRH]

oh my goodness how did I miss this video no more mass mowing then wind row etc this saves about 10000 hours of time, amazing idea and thanks for sharing so awesome!!

[@Vbluguitar]

hehe - glad to help :)

[@toddmoore139]

Again very impressed with your videos. Super informative stuff. thanks man

[@kingwokosalfordlad]

Yeh same here.big help.great vids.✌️❤️

[@Zak_Shurtliff]

Not sure if someone has said this yet ,but this Krone is called a chopper. coolest thing ever if you ask me. sweet video.

[@thegameguy5886]

I think it's a forge harvester

[@shawnkelly7869]

I'm WAY late with this, but I DO use two Bull trailers behind the Krone.

[@Meerkat1503]

Shawn Kelly yeah well I'm so late I'm watching in 2016!

[@fazbearentertainment7062]

This video is awesome 🚜🚜🚜

[@waleed4845]

can you tell me how

[@tannerelkins5914]

Yeah me to

[@bradpierson9171]

you just saved me hours and hours i was using the mower then the windrower then the loading trailer for silage, now i can just use the krone with the corn! much faster thanks man!

[@Vbluguitar]

+Brad Pierson Don't forget that grass is a great way to use it too. Grass is free and you don't have to plant or fertilize it, Corn does get it done faster though.

[@bradpierson9171]

+Arthur Chapman okay man thank you much!

[@JDSleeper]

I bought one of these after getting into silage. It's a fun machine to run.

[@Vbluguitar]

+Jon Sleeper Its an amazing money maker - and great for the cows too :)

[@johnsharkey7298]

Hi from England Arthur, your vids are awesome. I'm doing really well on farming now.

[@Vbluguitar]

Glad I could help John! Cheerio :p

[@248JRO]

This is awesome!! Defiantly going to using the EasyFlow to get crop and chaff. With CoursePlay as well, the combine can run its course and then the Krone can use the same course to pick up the chaff.

[@Vbluguitar]

Just watch with courseplay, it has a hard time steering the Krone.

[@charlesclements8538]

I like doubling the fleigl trailers adds up to 640002 then I hook 6 of them and haul to my trench or biogas plant . But my tractor takes a beating. Fleigl is the biggest trailer that can be hooked to big x but can't go any higher than a 230 hp tractor.

[@owen3172]

Arthur Chapman how did you get the blue new Holland harvester ?? I can only get yellow , is it different on west bridge?

[@Vbluguitar]

Owen, it's a mod from modhub.us. I am on the road, so don't have to the internet access

[@dmannshow]

Great vid. Totally understand what that thing does now. Thanks for making such informative and fun and helpful videos. Now show me how the hell you are able to get those two agroliners together. Lol. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@Vbluguitar]

Hehe, just some skillful "bumping" and they are connected.

[@glasseyalley]

Always wondered what the krone was about. Thanks!

[@Vbluguitar]

glasseyalley Very welcome :)

[@someonediffrent1726]

As far as efficiency, yield rate would also reflect time no?You have to cultivate before you sow corn, correct? So with yields "almost" as good with grains as corn, don't you win with grains because there's no cultivating? Excellent vids too btw! I'm on 360 btw..

[@Vbluguitar]

+Someone Diff'rent That is a very good point - I am going to have to break down and make a "Silage Q & A" video were I test out all these questions. You may be right. Glad you are enjoying the vids :).

[@pokedude104]

if you hire a worker will they pull trailers behind them and fill them? Or do you have to do it yourself if you want to do that?

[@Vbluguitar]

The hired workers only do field work, so plowing, cultivating, seeding, fertilizing and harvesting. They will not ever pull trailers unless you are using the "course play" mod. For the silage harvesters, you can only hire a worker when doing corn, and you will have to follow next to him with a tractor and trailers while he harvests. Does that make sense?

[@pokedude104]

+Arthur Chapman ah, OK yeah that makes sense. Was just wondering cause I planned to get a test world going for trying out mods by doing silage. thanks!

[@Vbluguitar]

for your test map, start a new game and save it. Once its saved and the game is closed go into your game folder (the same folder where the mod folder is). Go into your "savegamexx" folder where your test farm is saved. open the "careersavegame.xml" file with note pad. In there look for your money, and you can give yourself any amount you want. Be sure to save the file when exiting. Now when you log back in you will have the money amount that you gave yourself.

[@Vbluguitar]

+Zack Boone - which version are you playing? - they fixed it on the PC with version 1.3

[@eastonnitschke230]

[@dailyvlog6610]

Arthur Chapman

[@WWIIman1942]

What can you do with straw that you pick up in a forage wagon?

[@Vbluguitar]

Either feed it to your cows OR sell it at any hay sell point (on the default map its next to the red barn).

[@clfnewfranklinfire17]

I've seen a lot of people say that another name for its is a chopper (which they obviously know more then you do) but regardless what a chopper does is chops up the material being fed into it and shoots it all out one pipe. It's sort of like a lawn mower, it chops the material up finely. The other self propelled Harvesters in this game are different because they separate the seed from the plant and stores the seed in the top while it spits the rest out on the ground (aka the byproduct). I found that the fliegl 226 is the biggest wagon that I can hook up to the Harvester but you can hook as many together as you want. You are also limited on how big of a tractor can pull it as well so the biggest tractor I can pull it with is the case 160. As long as you don't have a trailer attached to the chopper you can hire someone to drive it then you can hook three wagons up until them up at once giving you a total of 96000 which is 37000 more than the largest trailer on the game.

[@Vbluguitar]

Yeah, here in Ohio they call them Choppers or Foragers.

[@jacksonrhoades9799]

Can you cut the corn before it is fully grown as in ready to harvest by a normal combine?

[@Vbluguitar]

Nope - works the same as a regular harvester

[@jacksonrhoades9799]

+Arthur Chapman ok thank you

[@thegameguy5886]

I agree about the cost effective pickup header and efficient corn header

[@alejandroelchoro]

as hooked trucks?

[@adriantvedthellevik2295]

How do you attach the two agronliners, their impossible to reverse with

[@Vbluguitar]

If you go real slow you may be able to do it, but I know what you are saying - I usually just shove the lead cart with my tractor until its lined up, and then connect them.

[@brennanmathis7671]

I am a farmer and this is a chopper my family owns 4 john deere choppers we do custom work for dairys and feedlots in Nebraska Iowa and South Dakota thanks for properly describing the machine I envoy your videos and this game

[@Vbluguitar]

+Brennan Mathis Glad that you are enjoying the vids, and its nice to know I got something right :)

[@ebonyfeet]

Love ur videos bro

[@Vbluguitar]

Thank you Ebony Feet!

[@sibarsby2522]

Big x is an excellent forage harvester.

[@WhiteRhinoPSO]

Personally, I always thought the Krone Big X 1100 looked sort of like a giant driveable vacuum cleaner. Also, I can't stand pulling even a single trailer that has a second pivot point like the two you attach to your Krone in this video. If I ever bother using them, I basically give up being able to ever drive my vehicle in reverse without looking like I'm derailing a train in reverse. Fantastic videos as always; haven't found a one of your tutorials, or other Farming Simulator videos, that I haven't enjoyed. This is the kind of stuff I watch whenever I can't play the game myself.

[@Vbluguitar]

White Rhino PSO glad you are enjoying my stuff. Yeah, when I forage I almost always hire a worker and just pull the trailers with a tractor

[@LeonidSaykin]

Do you fertilize corn if you just going to chaff it

[@Vbluguitar]

Leonid Saykin yes because you will get more chaff

[@Vbluguitar]

Zak Shurtliff - correction its "THE BIG CHOPPER" :)

[@barriemcdermid532]

Arthur you attach fliegl TMK 266 bull that's 2 of them to the BIG X it works and I bring in 64000 litres of chaff ext.

[@Vbluguitar]

+barrie mcdermid correct. Sometimes I will attach 4 and swap to out once the front 2 are full. Honestly, prototypically, you would use a tractor to run alongside the harvester, and the tractor would pull the trailers. I haven't seen any actual video of a Krone (or any forager) pulling trailers like they do in this game.

[@gooddharma]

Amazing video, mate! Helped a lot! =)

[@Vbluguitar]

Glad I could help Dharma

[@gooddharma]

Thanks for taking time in reply... =3 I thought you deserve to know your videos are helpful (funny) even after almost two years... =D Best of luck budy!

[@canadiannavy9229]

I just tried the chrome one and the 2nd one which is the green one they both work together

[@jakemccaig6454]

Do you get more chaff from a fertilized field?

[@Vbluguitar]

+Jake McCaig You should, because there is more crop density. Gonna have to make a video about it. That is a great question.

[@TheJadeStorm87]

+Jake McCaig Using the corn header or the Easy Flow 300 straw header you will get the bonuses of fertilizer if you fertilized your corn, wheat or barley fields.

[@ryandevries920]

if you don't hook a trailer to the Krone you can hire driver for you. and you can use larger tippers with tractor to follow. Other good thing about that is that it will stop when you get filled so you have less waist for that reason.

[@Vbluguitar]

interesting. I will have to try that. I haven't seen a "hire worker" dialog, but I haven't run the crone without a trailer either. I just watched the product video for the real one and it seems like they all do it that way.

[@Pueranha]

You can even set up 2 BigX side by side, hire 2 workers, and then drive a Tractor with a huge trailer between them.Looks awesome and fills up your trailer in seconds, but you have to buy 2 BigX, pay 2 workers and turn them at the end of the firld manually. But it looks awesome, if i havent said that already.

[@Vbluguitar]

Pueranha lol. That would be awesome. On some of the real life demo videos they run a truck on each side of the Krone. Its pretty sweet looking.

[@michaeldeboer7080]

City kids playing on the farm.LOL

[@lefortkevin83]

Hey man I've lived on a farm since I was 7. My first job was on a farm, we even raised egg layers and meat birds ourselves for a number of years. I'm 25 now still living in the middle of nowhere, on a farm, and I love this game!

[@Eric_V410]

Lol so true it literally just takes the whole thing not the chaff that's why it fills so quick, also it's a direct cut head and a hay pickup head😂😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@shomy4u210]

One more thing about silage, you only need to ferment it firdt time, and when you dumping it,don't empty whole bin or whatever it's called :D live just 1000 l in it and bring new chaff or grass, and it will automatically ferment into silage :D May be a glitch n the game I don't know, but I'm playing 1.3 version and it is happening,just like in 1.1 version.

[@Vbluguitar]

Miodrag Dimitrijevic Interesting! I will have to try that. Might be cheating though, lol ;P - I will have to try it!

[@shomy4u210]

Arthur Chapman I'm glad that you could "translate" and understand what I wrote in comment :D I was so tired (just got back from work) and English is not my native language. I'm sorry for bad spelling. LoL :D It look like cheating to me too, but, that's in game < is it a glitch or what I dont know but it is useful :D

[@shomy4u210]

Arthur Chapman And just now I've tried that once more in 1.3 and on other pc I've installed 1.1 version and tried that. In 1.3 now says "grass is not accepted here" :D and just yesterday it could be done :D But on 1.1 version you can do it as long as you wish :D

[@Vbluguitar]

Miodrag Dimitrijevic Lol - they caught us!

[@shomy4u210]

Arthur Chapman yep :D

[@Ecovity]

How do you get the two agroliners to link up together?

[@Vbluguitar]

It's a PAIN in the butt.

[@Ecovity]

I know, i finally did it by raming then close together with my tractor and attaching them

[@Vbluguitar]

+Ecovity That is how I do it too.

[@kayfredriknilsen1285]

Love this video please do some more videos like this :)

[@Vbluguitar]

+Kay fredrik Nilsen Thank you Kay!

[@renanstp]

which fruit produces the most amount of chaf?

[@Vbluguitar]

In real life, corn. In game all crops are even, and then grass is the least.

[@vtchimedza]

you can add the smallest trailer before the two agroliners and it will still fill all three of them

[@Vbluguitar]

+vernon tapiwa chimedza I didn't know that - its been 2 years and I am still learning stuff about this game.

[@judahedwards5044]

yes u can use the gray Tripper you can hitch two of them one behind other

[@Vbluguitar]

Yes that is correct - however, in real life the almost never make the harvester pull any kind of trailer while it works, so I try to keep them smaller.

[@dado2k]

Are you still going to do WoT videos? Like the test server is out and you still haven't posted a video talking about the new tanks in game and stuff...

[@Vbluguitar]

I sure am Davide. I am just taking a 1 month break from WOT. I will be back in early January.

[@dado2k]

ah ok. Happy to hear

[@MidnightWolf49]

I'm able to hook up 2 fliegl TMK 266 Bull. You said you were unable too. I wonder why?

[@Vbluguitar]

+MidnightWolf49 Yes I can - the 266 is the largest trailer that you can double without using mods. the kipper (the first red tipper) is the first one that doesn't work with the foragers.

[@Vbluguitar]

+MidnightWolf49 Ah, if you have a device like an Ipad that you are watching on you won&#39;t see my annotation where I say that the 266 works... That could be why. hehe, I wish you could update videos - this one is so outdated its bad. I think a new "forage harvester" video needs to be in the works.

[@MidnightWolf49]

Ah, very true, I am on an iPad. I still find this video very useful, as with most of your videos. That's, please keep making them.

[@Vbluguitar]

MidnightWolf49 I sure will - this update will be the next one.

[@MidnightWolf49]

I forgot to ask, do you know much about Xbox One Mods? There only seems to be one in the store, not sure how to get others, if any.

[@jonathankeegan9797]

there is money in potato farming if you have a big set up, when you spend 5mill on potatoe harvesters and seeders its a bit over kill :)

[@m.o.glonewolf2246]

How did you get grass in your field

[@Vbluguitar]

+Justin Murray This video shows you how I did it kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaPJnGWpjtBod7s

[@lordbuckethead2481]

Is it good at towing trailer trains?

[@Vbluguitar]

It can - Its not really meant for that. It only fills up the first two trailers.

[@SlyVVolf]

Huge help! Thanks man

[@Vbluguitar]

SlyVVolf Glad I could be of service :)

[@kingwokosalfordlad]

Takes some doings to fill em all to 100%.✌️❤️

[@Pantelli]

you can use the 3rd tipper and attach up to 4 of them but it will only fill 2 at a time, its way easier to hook up than those tippers hes using in the video and they hold 32000 each

[@tomkrist]

Very good review, thanks :))

[@Vbluguitar]

Your very welcome!

[@nonamenolastname8600]

24:38 how did u change new holland color?

[@Vbluguitar]

It was part of a mod pack on PC - you may have to do some searching, but it was on modhub.us

[@kingwokosalfordlad]

I love playing this game. All the different Jobs to do.10/10 the money to be made. The product to grow n sell. I've made millions .✌️❤️

[@misterfister8641]

Whoa, you can adjust your cruise control speed?!? How?!? Please teach me! Also, any ideas on how to find a decent multiplayer session?

[@Vbluguitar]

+MisterFister Yessir - the "1" key lowers the speed, the "2" key raises it, and "3" sets it on/off. The best thing you can do to find a good multiplayer game is to buy a couple copies for your friends and get them to play, or start a youtube/livestream channel as people like to be famous :). But in all seriousness, most of the servers out there suck.

[@misterfister8641]

Yeah, I peeked into a few of them and saw tractors hung up on fences, semi-trailer combinations with upside down harvesters on the flatbed intentionally submerged at the logging camp, the main farm lot impassable because of more than a hundred powerwashers, etc. I will say I just picked this game up a days ago and I am rather horrified by how addictive it is. I never got into Farmville on Facebook, but I'm guessing this is essentially a 3D version of that game. If you'd ever care to multiplay, or if you need a helper for a recording session (you've commented on a few vids about how logging is easier with a buddy) or like in this video if you could use a tender to bring replacement trailers when your harvester fills instead of having to cut away, etc, PM me and lemme know. I'm in NY.

[@Vbluguitar]

+MisterFister Sure thing - I will be having a server up in January with the new map - Will be looking for players to live stream with.

[@e.e.6314]

Can the Krone pull a semi trailer with a dolly?

[@Vbluguitar]

not without mods.

[@CaptRiot00]

Can you provide the link for the conveyor mod?

[@Vbluguitar]

Justin Theriot www.modhub.us/farming-simulator-2015-mods/multi-fruit-conveyor-belt-pack-v1-1/

[@CaptRiot00]

Thanks

[@JLawstories]

You can hire a worker and tow big trailer next to it. The Krone automatically stops when the trailer is full or out of range.

[@Vbluguitar]

+Justin Law Correct - please see part II where I cover prototypical operations.

[@Vbluguitar]

+Justin Law ttp://kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYqnpWd6iZVopdE

[@JLawstories]

+Arthur Chapman Ah! Should have looked further. I discovered it while messing around. Noticed the auger followed a trailer when I drove past it. Made about $1.5 mill in good time after that. A heavy rigid truck between two conveyers at the biogas plant sped up the process. I guess (without searching your channel) you have already seen/tried that.

[@shane8911]

What map is this ? Can I get it on Xbox 1?

[@Vbluguitar]

+shane8911 This is just the default map, westbridge hills - I have tiled field 11 using grass strips, so it makes the map look different. Here is how I did it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaPJnGWpjtBod7s

[@cccomics3339]

+shane8911 yes

[@next3436]

you make a tutorial a yuo not now to distinguish the low and the regular tow hitch ? the big boby is equipped with low tow hitch you cannot attach to krone.....men.

[@Vbluguitar]

+Mihaly Roth men? where?

[@kingwokosalfordlad]

I've just only learnt how and what to use it For. ✌️❤️

[@jayman61ca]

do you still play online or just with your family

[@Vbluguitar]

homer pimpslap Hi homer! I don't play online too often as I play late, or sometimes I just set a worker and let the farm run itself as much as possible..

[@jayman61ca]

Oh ok I'm just trying to find people to help out

[@Ata5ll]

Your intro is so right... I bought it because its the ocolest looking thing! But then it made pulp (chaf) from the stuff I needed :D thx god I saved first :D I'm actually looking if there is any way to have a krone that not makes green crap out of it :D

[@canadiannavy9229]

You talking about dried grass?

[@murrayharris8071]

You can use the silver trailer's with the Krone I had 4 trailer's on the back of it earlier

[@canadiannavy9229]

Wtf 4 😳😑😑😱😱

[@HPsauce1234]

you can double up on the fliegle

[@BSHokke]

thanks for the vid....I subscribed and liked LOL

[@Vbluguitar]

+B.S. Hokke Welcome aboard!

[@homerrodriguez6910]

the tmk266 bull you can attach 3 of them thats how i have them

[@Vbluguitar]

You can attach 6 of them if you want, but unless you have a mod, its only gonna fill up the first 2.

[@jeffreyheck9060]

You tech me so much of fs 15😊

[@colbyterry1972]

Is the mower a in game or a mod

[@Vbluguitar]

The Big X 1100 is in game - if you are talking about the Big M, its a mod.

[@ooocrowooo]

what it does is chop up the whole plant including the seeds and makes silage or chaff as you call it, you do not lose the seeds it is chopped up along with the plant.

[@Vbluguitar]

+JamesCrowonline - this is true - I didn't explain it correctly. What I was trying to say was that you lose the "harvest" by chopping it up, seeds and all - if you Harvest the wheat or barley first and THEN use the easy flow to pick up the straw swath you get both your grains to sell (your "harvest") AND your chaff to make silage. Does that make sense?

[@ooocrowooo]

+Arthur Chapman works for me lol, good video also.

[@MadmanGTP]

Not that this will ever be read by anyone, as for efficiency, you can also note that you have to plow and plant separately for corn where as you can do both in one pass with canola, barley, and wheat.

[@Vbluguitar]

+iTz_Bruce_Banner That is a good point - the larger seeders cultivate as you go, except for Potatoes, Sugar Beets and Corn, that have to be cultivated separately. Still, Corn gives you the best yield for a planted crop. Grass and Straw are still the most efficient cause grass is free, and straw is a by-product.

[@laurislx1884]

nice video thanks men!!

[@Vbluguitar]

No problem Lauris

[@paddyonyt2058]

how old is the krone

[@Vbluguitar]

Well, hopefully new when you buy it ;) - They have been around for at least 20 years.

[@leeroyexcavator9149]

thanx for vid.

[@joshverburg8576]

All European measurements are in meters. 9 meters is 25 feet plus. The krone big x 1100 without a header in it I s about 10 feet wide!

[@dimat3164]

You don't have to unhook trailers to compress grass in bay.

[@Vbluguitar]

+Dima T That is correct, but its kinda hard to back two trailers up over and over, so I unhook them. From a compression standpoint, its actually probably better to leave them hooked up.

[@pipledo5615]

can it cut withered crops

[@Vbluguitar]

Hi Alex - I don't believe that you can.

[@glaubersilva7691]

It's perfect !

[@curtsmith1793]

the Krone big x will pull and load up to 3 HKD 302 Trailers and fill ALL 3 while on the move

[@Vbluguitar]

Nope - Just tested it - Maybe you have a mod that allows this? - By default its only 2. Now, I did get a little bit to go into the 3rd trailer when I went around a corner and it got close enough to throw, but once the train straightened out it was no longer able to fill.

[@toschouten]

how do yoy turn on your sirens?

[@Vbluguitar]

I don't thing the Krone has a siren...

[@toschouten]

+Arthur Chapman it does, but i already found it out. you have to press 'home'

[@toschouten]

+Timon Schouten still thank you ;)

[@Vbluguitar]

Timon Schouten Oh, you meant beacons - a siren is a horn, not a light :)

[@toschouten]

Arthur Chapman Ah ok! In the Netherlands it is called a 'sirene' so that's why i thought Beacons where called a siren. Thank you for the help ;)

[@Jack40caliber]

Thanks! Subbed.

[@Vbluguitar]

Jack Spence You are very welcome Jack! Welcome aboard!

[@Muzzup]

are you a farmer in real life ? you mentioned your farm in another video

[@Vbluguitar]

haha, no - I was referring to my in game farm - the one in this video is my "test farm'

[@Muzzup]

Oh my bad ! I'd like to say you make very Nice enjoyable videos , you're very good at holding the viewers attention , so far the videos of yours i have watched , i watch to the end .

[@Muzzup]

+Arthur Chapman hello Arthur I sent you a message did you have a chance to read it ? having a bad feeling it was wrong ?

[@Vbluguitar]

Hehe - let me check it. Have been super busy and not checking messages.

[@BradyBunting]

8:30 ASS 298 LOL GREAT VID YOU SIR HAVE A NICE day

[@bugattibubba5461]

Thank you

[@cowboyviper]

this thing is great

[@Vbluguitar]

Yup - in 15 its a real money maker

[@willzealand]

un now the second header is to pick up grass that has been mown and put in to lines with a windrower straw you use a baler!

[@Vbluguitar]

Why would you mow and wind row and then pick up grass when you could just use the X-disc? The easy flow is designed to chaff straw that left over from a harvest. You can bail too, but if you don't need to bail, you can always get chaff rather than just turning the straw swath off. Hope that makes sense.

[@willzealand]

nope its not look it up balers are for straw the second head is for the the x disx is for whole crop eg weat barley

[@Vbluguitar]

will zealand Ok, I looked it up - I am quoting the EASY FLOW 300 manual from Krone - "The Pick-up of the EASYFLOW 300 / EASYFLOW 380 series is a front attachment unit especially for the KRONE forage harvester BiG X. It is used to pick up CROPS in blade form along its working width, to bring them together along its infeed width and to release them continuously for transfer to the forage harvester. " - so its designed to pick up ANY bladed crop - not just wind rowed grass. Grass is a grain BTW, so its in the same family as Wheat, Barely, and other bladed grains. Now the X-Disc 6200 Manual "The direct cutting system of the X-Disc 6200 series is a front attachment unit specially for the KRONE forage harvester BiG X. It is used to cut crops growing on the ground (except maize)." I never said you couldn't use the 6200 for cutting wheat and barley (as I show it doing in the video) but it's wasteful because you have to pay for the seed, the time to plant and fertilizer. Grass is much more efficient because it grows on its own and doesn't require fertilizer for reseeding. You are able to run it anyway that you want, and there is no wrong way. If you want mow row and then collect, and only use the X Disc for crops, go right ahead, but there are more efficient uses for both of those headers, and They are designed to be flexible so that you can use them for different things. Hope that helps.

[@TheFavess]

another thing to remember about the corn VS wheat. with the corn you have to run a cultivator AND the seeder. wheat you just run the seeder

[@Vbluguitar]

TheFavess That is a good point. More yeild, but more initial work too.

yea not sure about you but im pretty lazy when it comes to running fields in this game

[@Vbluguitar]

TheFavess Its funny, the longer I play, the more I like small fields because I can do most of the work myself without hiring workers. Feels more like the farms around here in Ohio. But with those giant west bridge farm fields you gotta hire workers or you will go bananas.

[@TheFavess]

yea i live in michigan so its the same thing. you should check out old family farm map. its a cool little map the only thing that sucks is i do not think it has biogas

[@Vbluguitar]

Thank you for that tip. I will try it out. I don't mind not having biogas, though it is nice for fun tractor toys lol.

[@zachh3210]

Very helpful

[@Vbluguitar]

Glad to be of service.

[@marseillais2687]

heres so much more to farming simulater then i thot

[@Vbluguitar]

***** its a pretty "deep" game.

[@amethystross9373]

It is a harvester the ones with collection bin is called a combine

[@Vbluguitar]

Technically, they are both harvesters, but yes - combines harvest and collect, hence the name combine (combining both harvesting and collecting)

[@zaccheushorsman8877]

I was using the easy flow to pick up grass lol

[@Vbluguitar]

Well, in the 2017 version of the game, that is all the Easyflow does. It no longer picks up straw.

[@8warrior5]

whats better for silage. grass or gorn?

[@Vbluguitar]

Corn gives you the most yield for sure, but you have to a forage harvester, or at least a Pottinger Mex cutter (under forage harvesters).

[@joshverburg8576]

Kronos biggest corn head is 36 feet wide unfolded.

[@eastonnitschke230]

cool kron

[@Vbluguitar]

+Jill Nitschke Totally :)

[@nickyhotwheeler]

The BIG X or "Chopper" should grind up the entire plant into silage. not throw out anything.

[@Vbluguitar]

True that. Nothing left when its done but chaff.

[@lefortkevin83]

The prices are so much higher than mine!

[@AirborneRenegade]

Also you can hitch 2 bulls

[@Vbluguitar]

Yes

[@novyxl9672]

You can do 2x bull tippers. That's what I use

[@Vbluguitar]

I think the bull tipper is probably best on 15

[@novyxl9672]

@Vbluguitar you're amazing, 80k subs and still respond to fans! Glad to know I'm not the only Ohio guy playing this game . I do still play fs15, would you recommend 22 or should I hold out a bit longer for 24?

[@MultiPowerlin]

actually the way those big harvesters work in real life is they take the whole thing and shred it inside and spit it out in the cart or truck

[@Vbluguitar]

+MultiPowerlin Yes, you are correct. I found that out after making this video. Neat stuff.

[@jfkexperience7578]

you can do double chipper

[@Vbluguitar]

+Sam Spielman Depends on the the tipper - You can use 2 brantners, 2 Agroliners, or 2 Fleigl 266 bulls. Nothing larger though.
