Awesome! Arthur's first FS17 tutorial. Another great video. The FS15 silage tutorial is what prompted me to subscribe to the channel a couple of years ago. Thank-you Arthur for years of info and LOTS of fun. God Bless you and your family.P.S. it was a blast watching Mater run around the farm the other as well as your other kids.
Just started playing farming simulator 17 recently, and it's the first sim I've played seriously. I've been having a lot of fun playing, and have appreciated your archive of videos.
Omg i been shoveling my pits to sell for the last few hours im off to buy those conveyors asap.. Thank you for all your vids i play on real time over 200 hours now and have made good progress and had loads of fun great game and you have given me good guidence thank you..
When you turn the wheels sideways on that last belt, you can then hire a worker, and he will move the unit side to side to spread out the pile you are creating. You can set the size of the arc with the degree setting. Not real useful for silage, but if you are just making a pile on the ground or in a storage shed, you can make a nicer pile.
The best way to set up the belt thingys is to place the one that picks it up from the ground first and then the one that can reach very high up so you set out those 2 first and THEN you get out the middle peice because its so flexible since you can move it in all kinds of ways
Hey Arthur just started playing 17 the other day I was doing the bull double pull trailer with the krone it filled the first trailer but did not change to the second trailer either
Dang... now I wish I hadn't sold all my bailing/wrapper equipment. Nice video - new subscriber here. I look forward to more FS17 from you. (Six kids and zero wives? I don't know if I am more impressed or terrified. Best of luck!)
Yeah, be terrified lol - I am a good Dad, but not so good as a Mom. I try though, and I definitely am more sensitive to my kids needs than most men, but I also have my butt head moments.
Hey Arthur great video. Been waiting for you to start the tutorials again. Just have a quick question because I'm totally stumped. I put corn silage in the bunker at the cows and used most of it so I thought it would be good to clean it out and fill it back up. Now I have 2444 litres left in it and I can't get it out . I've tried everything and nothing has worked. What can I do to get the last little bit out ?
You will need to use this mod to clean it out. Becareful though - it can erase your fields, so just use it in the bunker. drive.google.com/file/d/0B0AW9-3R406IT3NxQUphQjBUNTA/view?usp=sharing
Hi Arthur been watching you since 15 nice to see some proper farming videos on your channel again I gave up when you started that cartoonish simulator awaiting FS17 release now i should be watching more often!
In my opinion this whole silage levelling/compressing stuff is nice if you are into doing such fiddly tasks. But if you want to be most effective, the best way of levelling and compressing is during filling. I always compress the load I fill in - usually I have the Strautmann Collection Wagon which can hold 50K or the Krone chaff-wagon you mentioned. These trailers are heavy enough that about 3-4 passes will compress the load (The first 2-3 loads may need 4 or 5 passes to compress, but the more the silo gets filled, the faster a single load will compress ). You can reduce the need of leveling if you set your cruise control to a value so that the unloading makes a straight pile from one end to the other (or to the half if it is a long silo). But how can you know which value to set. You can simply do it by try and error or a bit more sophisticated: fill your trailer up till it is full. Then go out on a field and force dump it at maybe 15 kph ( the speed doesn't really matter - it is just easier to get the mess cleaned up when you have a line you can go over with your collection wagon than just one huge pile) but what matters is the time your trailer needs to unload fully. Remember that time and then go to the silo. Now take your fully loaded trailer and set any cruise speed and let drive thrugh the silo. Was it longer than the unloading time, you have to go faster. Was ist less, than you have to go slower. Try this till your speed setting let's drive you from one end to the other in the same time your wagon needs to unload. Then dump - 1. dump on one side - compress - 2. dump on the other side - compress - 3. dump in the middle - compress - first layer leveled out. and compressed ;)
I figured out how to get a nice level pile in the silage pit after messing around with a leveler and following some of your advice! I will have to upload a video to explain it
Hello! I am new to fs17, bought it on Steam Christmas sale. Can someone tell me what mod Arthur uses to speed up time by 1000x, is there a mod that allows for editing of how fast the times goes through simple editing of files i.e. I can set a custom 500x time speed? Also, how do I install mods? Thank you. P.S. I know that it is best to play at 1x and that is what I normally do. I want the higher speed to mess around on my test farm to instantly grow crops.
Excellent tutorial. It helped a lot. Although you might want to create future tutorials using all vanilla items for people that aren't interested in modding. I'm referring mainly to the custom map you're using.
Oh, yeah - that. I figured for this one the map didn't make much of a difference cause the plant is the same on most maps, but yes, in general I do not use mods in tutorials.
Man I love your videos I've learned a lot but watching you I'm learning more. Sometimes it gets over wellming specially trying to figure out what the best vehical to use for different jobs. I'm farming for silage, and I'd like to do green houses.... I know I know but it's something I'm interested in. My question is can I just have cows and only feed what I have to for manure??? I don't need them for anything else. Can that work if I have enough cows and only feed them to make manure will they just do that?? Didn't want to spend money to be wrong. Wish I could use slurry from the bioplant to fill the manure at the green houses.
"we gunna" haha your awesome! great vids and love how you are with the kids! anyways im in ohio too brotha! do u have a server? love to play some day . anyways God bless n keep up the good work!
Cool dont rush with me it ment the world you even considered me! Ill add you though and maybe some day we can hang out at the farm :) thank you for your time my steam is AHardKnockLife and my logo has a joker holding a flower. Godbless
Can someone help please? Just started playing FS17. I cultivated and sowed 2 fields with grass. Now what? Do i have to weed and fertilize or no? How long until the grass will grow?
Weeding and fertilizing will increase your yield for sure, so I say "do it". The grass just keeps growing, so you won't have to replant until you decide to change crops.
A trick to get layers is when unloading to run the tractor over at cruise control at a certain speed, first on the right side of the silo, then on the left side, and so on and so forth. For the biggest loading wagon I found what works is setting it to about 11-12 kph, hit Ctrl+I about 2-3 meters into the silo (leaving a bit of space cause compacting will spread it out) will mean the wagon runs out of grass about 2-3 meters before the end of the silo. Without it, when you start getting to about 1M liters per silo, it'll really be a pain in the ass to be able to drive over that with the wagon. If you run something like a John Deere 9630 with triple wheels, it'll finish up to 100% in just one extra run over each silo. I suppose getting the heaviest weights on each side of the tractor plus maybe wheel weights might be the cheapest way to do it though. One question I have is how do you use the silage addatives? It says on the shop page (under pallets) that it's supposed to make it more valuable, but I haven't found out how to use it yet.
does anyone know how you sell silage at marys farm when the price at the biogas plant drops? anyone notice when it drops at the plant it goes up to 100 or so there?
You can't attach two TKD 302 tippers together only the HKD 302 will attach to the TKD 302. I think it didn't give you the dump option because the tipper was still covered, I don't use the cover so I wouldn't know.
i found a unimog baler and i added a bar to it to pull the wrapper or bale trailer and i got the bar to rotate to off set the wrapper or trailer to the left of the baler or the right side but when the bar rotates the wrapper or trailer if already attached stayes there it wont move with the bar
I silage easily made at the area by the cattle I was thinking instead of moving all the silage by tractor could I use a coveyor belt system to transport is to the feeding area?
Yes, that would work. I have a friend that uses like 20 conveyors to deliver grain all over the map lol. The sky is the limit and conveyors aren't very expensive, so have at it :)
Nope - they made the easyflow only chaff grass and hay - this is more like real life - in real life it can't turn straw into chaff, so they made it more realistic, but it SUCKS :)
Are you still playing Multiplayer? I would love to just grow hay/silage on your farm. (I'm ~40yrs old, married w/kids, US military, and play sims to relax).
Yes sir - We do South Mountain Creamery every Friday at 7pm EST. All the information can be found here - www.twitch.tv/vbluguitar. Hope to see you there!
hey art, i found a bug with the rostelmash forage harvester/trailer combo too. same sort of deal but i didnt run over anything else. the pipe just wouldnt free flow into the bin, even though it was picking up the trailer. great vid!
Just came across two issues with silage, I'm in the middle of unloading silos right now. 1: There seems to be a sell limit like there was in FS15, 50,000. When the bin hits that it will stop accepting, or staggers accepting. 2: I can only seems to suck up silage with conveyors from the left hand side of each silo, not the middle. This maybe a update thing, or a Courseplay mod thing, as I only noticed it after I got both of those.
An efficient way i use is put a big M on a meadow and then use the snowblower with a trailer and then you turn growth to fast and by the time he gets done he just turns around and keeps going. Unlimited silage
I just now started playing farm sim 17. I didn’t realize how fun it is. But I was wondering, where is the best place to get mods that you can’t find in game? And what would you recommend? Btw love your videos!
The reason you would actually attach all the belts together, is it ensures they are always correctly lined up, since the hitches are lined up with each other, to keep all the ends of the belts directly over the beginning of the next. I think you may be able to use them as well for the same method you did, but having them all hitched up will let you pull the entire line with the first conveyor.
Chaff is chopped up crop. It can be chopped up Wheat, Barley, or Canola, or Corn. Mostly corn though as its dense and its high sugar content causes it to ferment easily. You can either put chaff or grass into a silage bunker (silo) and cover it. Overnight (in game) or in about 90 days real life, it will become Silage. Hay is just dried grasses. You can't use hay or straw to make chaff because its dry, and you need moisture for stuff to ferment. Hope that helps.
@@Vbluguitar Thanks, it does help quite a lot! If you don't mind another 2 quick questions, are there any uses for Chaff/Silage besides selling it after? What differentiates in-game grass that can be put into Silage from hay as both come from grass, right? How do I choose to get dry grass or "wet" grass? Thanks again!
Kyle and I have been working with it - its still the best way to make money in the game - the wrapped bales are easy to do and worth 980 per bale at the bale barn, and the price doesn't fluctuate.
Yea, I don't really like those get rich quick things, most of them still feel broken, that silage bale for example seems to be way over priced, but maybe I'm wrong on that one. I'm content just working crops. Another thing I don't understand is people who put it on hard and then complain "money is too hard to make on hard". Not quite sure why they don't play on a different difficulty. Also, will the NH forager tow that massive Krone now?
Excellent tutorial as always, Art. It was nice to get some clarification on the changes from FS15. Just a note, though, you missed a method for Corn chaffers. The really cheap, tractor mounted forage harvester MEX 5 is a thing still, right? The harvesting would be super slow, of course, but it would save the massive rental costs on a Krone for a starter biofuels farm!
Definitely install ad blocker plus before you start browsing. I use modhub.us and only download the files that are available directly from Modhub. Also, don't forget that the game now has its own built in mod interface where you can get tons of mods without having to surf the web.
This may have been discussed but I'm new to FS17 but have you noticed when you plant grass in Field 14 on Valley Crest and let it grow out, an American flag will appear in the grass?
Arthur one of my friends has 17on there Xbox one and he was wondering if you could drop wood chips on the ground than use a conveyer to put it back into your trailer
Honestly its far quicker to buy a big mower, mow the grass, tip the clippings into the silage hopper at the biogas plant. Then when you have enough cash, buy a field near the biogas plant, sow grass, then mow the grass tip it into the silos at the biogass plant till full. Rap the silo and tip the silage into the hopper. Big cash. Especially if you mod the xml files a little ie 100000l big mower at 50kmh mow speed you fill those silos quick!
Serious complaint...............Have watched all the Fs15 Videos. (which got me into the game in the 1st place). Am now going through the Fs17 videos. Did you actually give any kind of warning of how addictive this bleeding game is? If not I think you have a moral duty to give fair warning. haha. love your work man keep it up.
when i tried to make silage i put it in the cow bin and when i uncovered it the cover stayed on but it said i had silage now but i can't pick it up. what do i do?
Alex, if you are on PC left ctrl + B will switch directions (must have tractor selected if you have attachments, hit G until tractor is white). Then you drive it like a harvester. Front becomes rear, rear becomes front. Have fun!
The Valtra T and S series tractors have reverse drive as well. Not sure if any others do or not. When I do it I run the Pottinger mowers on the back and a tedder on the front and go into reverse drive.
We have Alfalfa in Europe as well (well... Europe... I know we use the word in the Netherlands) but the most common name is Luzerne.and we tend to put it in salads (well... not me, I hardly eat salads? I do have some grass related questions but since I have FS15 and not this one.... yet (no funds atm) I will first check your FS15 vids if the answer is given there and if not ask them there :D
I know this was posted some time ago, however there IS (at least now.. not sure about then as I'm still rather new to FS17.. ) a placeable fermenter silo now. Kinda Cheaty, but you collect, dump, and over time it processes into silage. Same concept as the bunker I suppose, without the spreading and compacting and covering. Dump the silage into an Auger Wagon, sell, profit..
Amazing how much you do for the FS community, your videos helps many virtuel farmers, thank you!
Keep them comming!
You are very welcome bmbpdk!
55:00 Easy there John 😂.
Love your videos even in 2019
Awesome! Arthur's first FS17 tutorial. Another great video. The FS15 silage tutorial is what prompted me to subscribe to the channel a couple of years ago. Thank-you Arthur for years of info and LOTS of fun. God Bless you and your family.P.S. it was a blast watching Mater run around the farm the other as well as your other kids.
haha - I am still finding trees that Mater cut down lol.
Just started playing farming simulator 17 recently, and it's the first sim I've played seriously. I've been having a lot of fun playing, and have appreciated your archive of videos.
Glad to hear it Brayden - its addictive lol
Thank you I'm sick now but watching TH-cam vids made me feel a fair bit better thanks
Glad to hear it - Feel better Hayden - I was sick last week, and it sucks.
Omg i been shoveling my pits to sell for the last few hours im off to buy those conveyors asap.. Thank you for all your vids i play on real time over 200 hours now and have made good progress and had loads of fun great game and you have given me good guidence thank you..
Glad to be of service!
Silage takes 60 days to ferment for use
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I got to the fermenting stage of the grass and didn't know what to do with it, so now I know.
Glad to be of service
the same video on fs 15 was the reason i subscribed to your channel!! great work again!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Love your videos Arthur. You explain things so they are understandable and useful. Thank you!👍👍👍
You are very welcome Russell!
When you turn the wheels sideways on that last belt, you can then hire a worker, and he will move the unit side to side to spread out the pile you are creating. You can set the size of the arc with the degree setting. Not real useful for silage, but if you are just making a pile on the ground or in a storage shed, you can make a nicer pile.
So that's what the angle setting is for... never considered putting a worker on a conveyor belt.
Ah! How cool is that? I will have to try it!
This helped a lot. The fs 15 tutorial is why I subbed to you. I kinda was ticked when I found out the silage got cut back.
Yeah, but its still decent income - honestly, you are best off with the round bail and wrapper - that seems to earn the most money in the game.
seeing as Arthur so kindly guided me through FS15 I though I would treat myself to FS17. And now we have conveyor belts on xbox for 17. Great times.
Its a big help, especially now that you can just dump wherever you wan't
The best way to set up the belt thingys is to place the one that picks it up from the ground first and then the one that can reach very high up so you set out those 2 first and THEN you get out the middle peice because its so flexible since you can move it in all kinds of ways
Thanks for clearing up the silage mystery Arthur!
You are welcome.
Glad to see they finally got some Massey Ferguson into the game. That's what we had on our farm when I was a kid.
Its nice stuff.
I love your vids , It takes roughly 9 weeks for a wrapped bale to turn to silage
Good to see you back Arthur,, you seemed to disappear for a while,, I hope all is well with you and the kids... Neville....
what map was this looks cool I love to always try out new ones
Hey Arthur just started playing 17 the other day I was doing the bull double pull trailer with the krone it filled the first trailer but did not change to the second trailer either
Another great tutorial Thanx Arthur!
You are welcome Jean!
I found this channel via your World Of Tanks videos. It's really relaxing to watch your videos, you got new subscriber i think ^^'
Thank you Flappy! Glad to have you aboard.
You are welcome dude! :D Do you have steam? I would love to add you! :D
Another awesome video Art. Keep em coming brother!
More to come!
Dang... now I wish I hadn't sold all my bailing/wrapper equipment. Nice video - new subscriber here. I look forward to more FS17 from you.
(Six kids and zero wives? I don't know if I am more impressed or terrified. Best of luck!)
Yeah, be terrified lol - I am a good Dad, but not so good as a Mom. I try though, and I definitely am more sensitive to my kids needs than most men, but I also have my butt head moments.
Awesome vid man. Your doing a good job. You gained a subscriber 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you George and Welcome to the Channel
Your vids are a real help thank you :)
Glad to help Danny

I adore the fact that you have kids.
They are my life.
Thanks Buddy, awesome video!
You are Welcome Frank!
I love the energy coming from John... told him not to yell he yelled louder 😂😂
He is a ball of energy until about 11pm and then he just passes out :)
Hi Arthur been watching you since 15 nice to see some proper farming videos on your channel again I gave up when you started that cartoonish simulator awaiting FS17 release now i should be watching more often!
I am talking about farming ''expert'' lol
Haha - I knew :) FE is still not bad, but FS 17 is definitely more awesome :)
It might be an OK game to play, but for the eye candy FS is alot more enjoyable for us to watch!
Arthur I would like to help with vid preparation but I don't have a pc. You make my day when I come home from school and watch your vids
~Mike pezza
Glad I can be there my friend!
Great video answered plenty of questions for me. Are there special headers to harvest soy beans?
Nope, they just use the regular header - I think this is true in real live too. The Sunflowers have special headers though.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the Link to this tutorial Arthur :)

Then dump - 1. dump on one side - compress - 2. dump on the other side - compress - 3. dump in the middle - compress - first layer leveled out. and compressed ;)
Yeah - I don't bother leveling anymore - if you just dump and run it works best.
Arthur thanks for help
Your Welcome Pezza
Where was this video when I bought FS17. I had to learn by trial and error which was sooo frustrating.Thank you Arthur.
You are welcome David!
I knew you would do this video so I putt off silage until today lol thankyou
haha - you are welcome Eric.
fendt 900 has it to ;) (backwards driving)
I figured out how to get a nice level pile in the silage pit after messing around with a leveler and following some of your advice! I will have to upload a video to explain it
Thank you Clemens - let me know when it available.
I am currently uploading it! however long that will take lol
My video is uploaded!
when we get silage bails done on our farm the bailer has a built in wrapper and the bailer dosnt need to stop untill all grass been picked ip
Hello! I am new to fs17, bought it on Steam Christmas sale.

Yeah, as long as you give them grass and straw they will make poo :)
"we gunna" haha your awesome! great vids and love how you are with the kids!
anyways im in ohio too brotha! do u have a server? love to play some day . anyways God bless n keep up the good work!
Friend me on steam - artkatpc - I will try to get you in rotation.
Cool dont rush with me it ment the world you even considered me! Ill add you though and maybe some day we can hang out at the farm :) thank you for your time my steam is AHardKnockLife and my logo has a joker holding a flower. Godbless

does anyone know how you sell silage at marys farm when the price at the biogas plant drops? anyone notice when it drops at the plant it goes up to 100 or so there?
Great video very helpful. Why was your harvester so bouncy
Using the "real terrain" mod
humm, nice video! :) thanks for the tutorial ;)
You are welcome Martin - Glad you enjoyed it :)
You can't attach two TKD 302 tippers together only the HKD 302 will attach to the TKD 302. I think it didn't give you the dump option because the tipper was still covered, I don't use the cover so I wouldn't know.

is there a way to fix it so that when i move the bar the wrapper or trailer moves with the bar
Unless you have some sort of 3d animation software, I don't think so.
ok thank you
Does this method of bailing grass and wrapping it turn it immediately into silage still in 2018?
Yes, and in 19 too.
I silage easily made at the area by the cattle I was thinking instead of moving all the silage by tractor could I use a coveyor belt system to transport is to the feeding area?
Yes, that would work. I have a friend that uses like 20 conveyors to deliver grain all over the map lol. The sky is the limit and conveyors aren't very expensive, so have at it :)
A question Arthur, in FS15 you could make silage with straw.
Is it still working on FS17 ?
I love your channel BTW. :)
Nope - they made the easyflow only chaff grass and hay - this is more like real life - in real life it can't turn straw into chaff, so they made it more realistic, but it SUCKS :)
Thanks for your answer Arthur.
Arthur Chapman can you tell me with which program you're recording gaming? :)
Hi Lego - I use Bandicam to capture the video/audio, and then I put it together in Sony Vegas 14
Thank you :)
Are you still playing Multiplayer? I would love to just grow hay/silage on your farm. (I'm ~40yrs old, married w/kids, US military, and play sims to relax).
Yes sir - We do South Mountain Creamery every Friday at 7pm EST. All the information can be found here - www.twitch.tv/vbluguitar. Hope to see you there!
hey art, i found a bug with the rostelmash forage harvester/trailer combo too. same sort of deal but i didnt run over anything else. the pipe just wouldnt free flow into the bin, even though it was picking up the trailer. great vid!
Oh weird- I will see if I can duplicate that.
Just came across two issues with silage, I'm in the middle of unloading silos right now.
1: There seems to be a sell limit like there was in FS15, 50,000. When the bin hits that it will stop accepting, or staggers accepting.
2: I can only seems to suck up silage with conveyors from the left hand side of each silo, not the middle. This maybe a update thing, or a Courseplay mod thing, as I only noticed it after I got both of those.
Interesting - I have never had the "suck up" issue. Nice to know about the limit too, Lei
An efficient way i use is put a big M on a meadow and then use the snowblower with a trailer and then you turn growth to fast and by the time he gets done he just turns around and keeps going. Unlimited silage
I just now started playing farm sim 17. I didn’t realize how fun it is. But I was wondering, where is the best place to get mods that you can’t find in game? And what would you recommend? Btw love your videos!
I get my external mods from modhub.us - I only download the ones from Modhub (they usually have 2 links) as the other links often have adware.
Thank you!
The reason you would actually attach all the belts together, is it ensures they are always correctly lined up, since the hitches are lined up with each other, to keep all the ends of the belts directly over the beginning of the next. I think you may be able to use them as well for the same method you did, but having them all hitched up will let you pull the entire line with the first conveyor.
Oh, that is cool - Makes it much easier to transport.
I like using triple wheels to level and compact
I should have watched this before I bought the Krone big X and easy flow header. Good stuff as usual keep it up
Good video i want to download this game but i again
is there a way to fix it so the wrapper or trailer if already attached so it moves with the bar
I am sorry, I am not sure exactly what you are asking
On Xbox the controls to force dump a load should be LB + RB + Y.
Spencer Hubble for PlayStation its L1+R1+triangle
I have a ps4
22:00 so I can either harvest the crop or mow it?
I'm so lost on what Silage, hay, chaff, etc..are
Chaff is chopped up crop. It can be chopped up Wheat, Barley, or Canola, or Corn. Mostly corn though as its dense and its high sugar content causes it to ferment easily. You can either put chaff or grass into a silage bunker (silo) and cover it. Overnight (in game) or in about 90 days real life, it will become Silage. Hay is just dried grasses. You can't use hay or straw to make chaff because its dry, and you need moisture for stuff to ferment. Hope that helps.
@@Vbluguitar Thanks, it does help quite a lot!
If you don't mind another 2 quick questions, are there any uses for Chaff/Silage besides selling it after?
What differentiates in-game grass that can be put into Silage from hay as both come from grass, right? How do I choose to get dry grass or "wet" grass?
Thanks again!
Do you know how to get salt in farm Sim 17 on the mape with all the licker and grapes
I don't that sounds like a mod thing.
even with silage being a fraction of the profit it is still the first tutorial to come out. You must dream about silage, or more like nightmares now.
Kyle and I have been working with it - its still the best way to make money in the game - the wrapped bales are easy to do and worth 980 per bale at the bale barn, and the price doesn't fluctuate.
Yea, I don't really like those get rich quick things, most of them still feel broken, that silage bale for example seems to be way over priced, but maybe I'm wrong on that one. I'm content just working crops. Another thing I don't understand is people who put it on hard and then complain "money is too hard to make on hard". Not quite sure why they don't play on a different difficulty. Also, will the NH forager tow that massive Krone now?
U can fertilize the grass now to get a better yield after u cut it use the weeder on it. It will go to the second stage of fertilize
Excellent tutorial as always, Art. It was nice to get some clarification on the changes from FS15.
Just a note, though, you missed a method for Corn chaffers. The really cheap, tractor mounted forage harvester MEX 5 is a thing still, right? The harvesting would be super slow, of course, but it would save the massive rental costs on a Krone for a starter biofuels farm!
Man, I don't even know if that is in the game still - I HATE that MEX 5 lol.
Lol =D
Yup, its still in game - OOOPS
Hehe! :) Oh, and did you mention that you can sell silage bales at the hay shed stable thing, along with the loose hay?
Did you? DID YOU?? =p
LeiFlux07 yup - that was covered as the second "easiest" method, though I didn't show the actual "sell".
Hey Arthur I am wanting to get fs17 but I want to install mods. however I am scared of viruses any tips tricks on how to avoid
Definitely install ad blocker plus before you start browsing. I use modhub.us and only download the files that are available directly from Modhub. Also, don't forget that the game now has its own built in mod interface where you can get tons of mods without having to surf the web.
What website do you download your new maps from?
www.modhub.us/farming-simulator-2017-mods/us-valley-v1-0-2/
This may have been discussed but I'm new to FS17 but have you noticed when you plant grass in Field 14 on Valley Crest and let it grow out, an American flag will appear in the grass?
hehe - Yes. Its been WAY overused on mod maps. I think in my Goldcrest series (from 2 years ago) we show it.
@@Vbluguitar I'll have to catch up on that, I got introduced to your channel a few months ago and I've learned everything from you. Thanks Arthur!
The change angle is when you are using a worker and having the arm swing back and forth, the angle is the amount of swing
love the video but hate watching them from work I I am now cause it makes me wanna play so dang bad thanks
lol - its a good want :)
Could you do one of these about the wood chips and the poplars, i am trying to work out how good it is for making money.
I sure will - I will try to get to it this week.
Cool, Thank you.
I have noticed when using a forage harvester on poplar it will glitch out and still cut the crop but I doesnot fill the trailer..
oh weird - I haven't had this happen.
Arthur Chapman it only does it when using a helper.
You were gonna say shit it out! Well done lol I love it
:)
Ps4 is R1+L1+triangle for force unloading
Arthur one of my friends has 17on there Xbox one and he was wondering if you could drop wood chips on the ground than use a conveyer to put it back into your trailer
And is there a square bail rapper in the new game
No, only the 1 round bale wrapper as or right now.
Yes - absolutely - we mowed grass, dumped it in a huge pile and then used a conveyor to load our semi truck. It worked really well.
how do you force dump the grass on Xbox one?
I believe that you hold down both bumpers and press Y.
I have searched for the Map US FARM 02 and I can not find it on the Mods sites, can you please tell me where to get this Map? Thank you:)
I believe the Author pulled it down. Its gone from Modhub.us
Thank you buddy for the response:) Is there a GoldCrest Map that you would recommend? I Loved where the Barn was in US Farm 02 in your Video:)
this is y I sub u you are helpful
Thank you Vick!
u got it bud
I use 2 Silage Choppers and 2 70,000 liter semi trailers
the unit would not fill because the mower changes grass types when you drive over others
Right - Pain in the butt. But ok - You just have to work around it.
Honestly its far quicker to buy a big mower, mow the grass, tip the clippings into the silage hopper at the biogas plant. Then when you have enough cash, buy a field near the biogas plant, sow grass, then mow the grass tip it into the silos at the biogass plant till full. Rap the silo and tip the silage into the hopper. Big cash.
Especially if you mod the xml files a little ie 100000l big mower at 50kmh mow speed you fill those silos quick!
i dont even have this game but nice vid :)
Thank you Dapper!
Arthur Chapman is this a lot harder than the 2015 version
dapper E30
get in its the best ;)
ikr
Serious complaint...............Have watched all the Fs15 Videos. (which got me into the game in the 1st place). Am now going through the Fs17 videos. Did you actually give any kind of warning of how addictive this bleeding game is? If not I think you have a moral duty to give fair warning. haha. love your work man keep it up.
Ikr - I can't stop playing either - its like crack on a 32 inch monitor lol.
hi how do you get the silage level every time I try it was all over the place
It definitely is not easy - we now try our hardest to get it as flat as possible when dumping it, so the leveling is easier.
when i tried to make silage i put it in the cow bin and when i uncovered it the cover stayed on but it said i had silage now but i can't pick it up. what do i do?
Ikr - we have the same problem - its because the ends weren't leveled properly. not sure what to do.
ok thank you
if you find out can you tell me
What is the map mod you're using?
You know, this was so long ago that I don't remember. It was one of the millions of goldcrest remakes.
What are your Kid's names? Helpful Vid!
Mark, Ryan, Seth, Evelyn, Violet, and John in that order.
I use the fendt 900 series because it have reverse driving too and with wheel weight and frond weight it compact very good
Alex, if you are on PC left ctrl + B will switch directions (must have tractor selected if you have attachments, hit G until tractor is white).
Then you drive it like a harvester. Front becomes rear, rear becomes front. Have fun!
The Valtra T and S series tractors have reverse drive as well. Not sure if any others do or not. When I do it I run the Pottinger mowers on the back and a tedder on the front and go into reverse drive.
LOVE IT - I think the Fendt does too.
Arthur Chapman
The Fendt 900 does, but I don't think the Fendt 700 does.
there only 4 tractors with reverse driving when you pre ordered then there 5
valtra N,T,S series
valtra T series cow edition
and fendt 900 vario
I cut a lot of trees down around the homestead and it's pretty open now and good for mowing
Btw great video
The base farm.
Thank you Gary - My kids are slowly "accidentally" cutting down the trees around the farm lol.
any of you having the dreaded "tree disappears underground forever" issue? lol lol
do u have plans on doing a animal tutorial?
Yep - probably one for each type
Kewl looking fwd to it
I got stuck 444 silage, can you help, get clean silage? I use, the silage cleaner mod, its no't help.
PC or Console?
We have Alfalfa in Europe as well (well... Europe... I know we use the word in the Netherlands) but the most common name is Luzerne.and we tend to put it in salads (well... not me, I hardly eat salads?
I do have some grass related questions but since I have FS15 and not this one.... yet (no funds atm) I will first check your FS15 vids if the answer is given there and if not ask them there :D
haha - I can't eat alfafa its way too bitter.
The siloking bucket is actually limited to 50 000, i saw it when i had 250 000 silo going into it with a belt system.
Yes, that is correct. this is one reason why I hate doing tutorials early. There is just so much info that is easily missed.
I know this was posted some time ago, however there IS (at least now.. not sure about then as I'm still rather new to FS17.. ) a placeable fermenter silo now. Kinda Cheaty, but you collect, dump, and over time it processes into silage. Same concept as the bunker I suppose, without the spreading and compacting and covering. Dump the silage into an Auger Wagon, sell, profit..
I love that silo - much easier and less fuss.
