      You do know that you can setup 17 to run just like 15 right? Everything from plowing to fertilization can easily be adjust in the menus to make it run just like 15. I don't usually talk about it because most people want more realistic play, but its there if you want it.

    You actually lost money doing what you did here. Just taking the loan would have put you in a better place. Keep everything you have, but sell the combine and header, crappy seeder and crappy cultivator. Buy a the seeder that Arthur recommended and buy a weeder. Also lease a bigger combine with a bigger header. The weeder will save you far more in fertilizer than you will save/make selling the original equipment. With the original 3 tractors, you can fully cycle all of your fields 3 times in 2 game days if you keep everything moving.
    Plant soybeans in all of your fields and sell at 1700-1800. Sell all of your crops that you have and stack up on soybeans for your first couple of harvests. Sell that and buy a bigger tipper, mower and liquid truck. Lease a bailer. Buy sheep.
    You are now self sufficient and can just make money every day and buy bigger and better things. The above process should take no more than 2-3 game days. I also never add to the loan and just pay it off over the first week or 2.

    I discovered the goldmine directly east of the villa/farm you start out with on the expansion in the form of all those tall palm trees that require minimal trimming and the sawmill in close proximity. I cleared every single one out in that field ending at the dealership. Made at least $30k per Timber Runner load for a total well over $500k for some much needed cash.
    Screw using that crane-I just unstrap the load, unhitch the Timber Runner then knock the whole thing over in the unload box with my front loader. The Timber Runner even rights itself automatically when it empties!

      Leasing can end up costing more money than you can make from your starting fields if you aren't careful though. I got myself inn a bind that way back when 17 first came out and had that feature. I basically got rid of all the starter equipment and leased a bunch of decent mid-range equipment and soon found the costs eating more money than I was making. Now I really don't lease anything and instead just buy what I can afford

    you dont need to plough when you are planting grass cos after you get the first cut it adds the 10% anyway and removes the red for it to be needed to be ploughed. also get a weeder to fertilize the grass cos you can use it after you mowed it and after the first growth stage to fully fertilize cos after you mow the grass it leaves a fertilization stage

    The forage harvester is the best lawn mower. Equip the X Disc header and mow multiple lanes at once, while simultaneously collecting it in a massive trailer. No fancy windrowers, balers, or collecting wagons required. Just buy a forage harvester, the appropriate header, and a large tipper. If you want to make hay really quickly, dump your full trailer onto the ground and run over the pile with a tedder. You can equip a different header to "vacuum" up the grass on the ground back into a trailer. Regardless of how much you spend on premium mowing equipment, you will never beat the forage harvester for productivity, because you don't have to come back after you're done mowing to pick up the grass left on the ground. I also highly recommend this setup if you intend to get serious with raising cattle.

    • @Vbluguitar
      @Vbluguitar  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      While I agree that it makes a great mower there is one problem - there is no way to make hay as it sucks the grass up, so you still have to have regular mowers and a Tedder.

    I was thinking the cheapskate approach to selling the bales. You grab a bale with the wrapper, drive over to the barn while it wraps, then unload the wrapped bale into the barn - maybe shunt the bale into the barn by ramming it with the tractor if you miss the unload point. Sure it takes a bit longer (maybe), but it saves the cost of a mechanical pick up trailer.
    Then add a chainsaw and trailer (or keep the starter trailer), and chop up trees while you wait for the grass to grow!!

    arthur, with domesticated grass in a field, you want to get a weeder and a fertilizer, as with domesticated grass (grass in a field as opposed to "wild" grass) fertilization state DOES AFFECT YIELD. NOTE: this applies ONLY to DOMESTICATED GRASS, it DOES NOT apply to wild grass, thus you want to keep that fertilization state maxed out at all times to get max yield.

    • @Vbluguitar
      @Vbluguitar  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sure, but you don't have to have it at the outset. But you are correct - you do eventually need to fertilize grass, and a weeder is the best way to do it.

      @sheeplebarn333 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      i disagree, a mower, a forage harvester, and a water tank and the small field to grow grass actually kicks up revenue fast. then you can ad to that a green house for daily revenue along with the milk. - in addition to that you get the manure and the slurry tanker and you don't need to worry about spending for fertilizer on your small starting fields - you don't need all the equipment to get started on dairy- maybe wait a couple weeks before buying the mixer - you take out the 300k and buy cows with it and just two pays off the daily interest in milk

  • @ceegnz
    @ceegnz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Most people I've watched start by harvesting the fields they own, but on the default settings the fields are unplowed and unfertlised so you don't really get much. I always start a new map (without seasons) by setting fertliser to 1 stage and turning off ploughing required, then I fertilise all the fields i can harvest, *THEN* I harvest them and get a much bigger yield than if I'd just harvested them. Once the crops are in I set fertiliser and plowing back to the normal settings for playing forward.

    @TheJadeStorm87 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A small tip for maps such as Sosnovka, American Outback, and other maps with grass lands if you want to do hay or silage bales you can and probably should plow to create fields their first. You will already have the plow rented and a seeder to replant grass. However if it is grass on an actual field you can fertilize it for the extra yield. This way you can also get a couple free fields, and with some of the grass lands on American Outback and Who Dat Who Der Ranch that are a decent size you can get quite a few free fields.

    • @Vbluguitar
      @Vbluguitar  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good point, Once you plow and reseed you can get better yield out of "preexisting" grass fields.

    • @TheJadeStorm87
      @TheJadeStorm87 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep, and if you no longer need it or want grass, cultivate and there you have a field. Then it only needs to be fertilized twice when doing 3 stages, and a weeder works for the first time it grows after mowing. I am currently playing on Who Dat Who Der Ranch and I turned a few of the fenced in grass lands into grass fields for hay bales, but I wasn't a fan of the sell point for the bales on the map so now I converted them into rather decent sized fields and it cost me nothing.

    One other tip for **STARTING A FARM**
    You will need to have the money cheat (don't worry, you aren't actually cheating). I try to bulk up or add a ton of trees before starting a new farm. Also, there will are now additional "sell points" that are available on PC and Console. (!!warning!! Unless the mod creator fixes it, the "Mill" doesn't add a new sell point on Sosnovka, West Bridge Hills, and any map where there is a point called "Mill". It is reading the file for the default sell point. I'm big on having maps with lots of options). Anyway, use the money cheat and get a tracked tractor and tree planter. You can get a little over 30 pallets at a time before the game says you need to plant before buying anymore. You will need a semi and flatbed trailer to carry the pallets. Now find open area or thin forests to thicken up. In some cases I will even cut a field in half or use the entire thing. (Only fields you start with). This is like clearing trees to start a whole new field. Now you have more variety for choices to start with doing. Selling woodchips will cause the price to drop so store them or just sell logs until the price comes back up. Also, if you are considering this it's because you use mods. There is a log sell point and chips sell point available even on consoles(as of now, one of each, maybe more later. PC already has many options for doing this.). This is even useful on logging only maps. Most have enough trees but I've seen a few that don't have the larger trees and forrest are a bit sparse.
    Hope this helped you to continue enjoying the game. Btw, one last thing. I am just starting on Westbridge Hills for the first time in 2017. I already set up everything ahead of time and am now up and running. I planted a bit over 3200 trees on the map. You can see this in your stats. I also didn't mention, but with mods, I also change the equipment that I start with. In most cases I either look for something older and smaller for the challenge. In a few cases I added somethings you may not start with but got rid of others. All of this was before starting. 3200 trees, driving in random patterns not rows took me about 4 maybe 5 total hours. It is tedious but worth it in the end. Don't make it so tedious you don't want to play after spending all that time to set up. Also, DONT FORGET to get your money back to the start point.

    Why not just change the plow option to off and the fertilization required for maximum yield to 1? That way you don't have to buy a plow and you aren't constantly having to fertilize. I just started on Ps4 and paid the bank loan off asap, and just used the default equipment which was a pretty fun grind. Made enough to buy the Valor and some land but debt free. Buying that sow you bought next

    • @heartlandmodding2315

    • @Vbluguitar
      @Vbluguitar  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You will actually make WAY more money selling silage wrapped bales because regular silage drops in value VERY quickly as you sell it, but the bales don't lose their value, ie you will always get like $3000 per bale.

    What would you upgrade there with the extra money, if anything, (from the items you've chosen 10:30) if you had to pick one or two things? I'm talking about the roughly $70-80k total, the 30ish you currently have plus the extra 40k or w/e if you had sold the starting grains.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    • @Vbluguitar
      @Vbluguitar  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      For some reason your comment went into spam, so I just found it and rescued it. I would say that you could get the 38k weeder because it will give you "free" fertilization for one of your 3 stages. I would also pickup a flatbed trailer (the 12k bale trailer is perfect) so that you can transport seed and fertilizer back to the farm easily.

      The Lely's don't hook together. Only the 2 pottingers. You have to watch, because the pottinger dual mower can hook up 2 different ways to the tractor, but only one way to the front mower. if it doesn't work, turn it around and try again.

    • @Vbluguitar
      @Vbluguitar  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      OH! you waited to long. You need to harvest it when its brown. If its gray, its dead. Always check your map for the growth status. On the pause map, when a field goes from green (growing) to yellow (ready), its time to harvest. If you leave it too long it will decay and die. I need to make some more basic tutorials on the farming mechanics.

  • @aidend5455
    @aidend5455 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Arthur quick question that’s probably a dumb one but what are the steps to start your fields? Cultivate, sow, harvest? In which order is it supposed to go? Thanks in advance.

    • @Vbluguitar
      @Vbluguitar  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You got it - for the game, the first thing is to plow (only needed once every 3 crop), then cultivate, then sew. Some cultivators plow too (subsoilers) so you can get both done in one pass, and some seeders (Like the vaderstadt wheat planter) cultivate as they seed, so you get both passes done in pass. That is why I recommended the vaderstadt as the seeder that you buy. Its a 2 in one.

      Tractor with arms, Log grabber, open top trailer, chain saw. Metal tech trailer is fine, but agroliner K is easier to get logs into. The little frontloader (the Kramer) also is great for loading logs and has 4 wheel steering so it works well in tight quarters.

      Possibly. It can be if you can keep usage to an hour. lets say you rent a harvester and header - if you use them for a 2 hour harvest (which is about what it takes to harvest your 3 fields on goldcrest) it will cost you about 30,000 dollars to harvest 40,000k of crops... Ouch. Not much profit, but its up to you. Renting a plow would be not a bad thing though.
