WHAT IS BEST WAY TO COLLECT STRAW? - Farming Simulator 19 Test Video 

Perfect, thank you! Just harvested 2 fields last night and have one left. Since I already own the equipment, I think pellets is the way to go after making sure I have all of my animal's straw (which I think I have like 170,000L in my hay loft).

Great video! This was a huge help and I learned that pellets was even a thing!

This was helpful. Ive been baling my straw figuring the total value would be better for me. I am on a fairly fresh map (No Mans Land) and starting from scratch on hard difficulty. I have a few of the larger equipment but now the fertilizer and seeding costs are really racking up my money to be able to buy further equipment or fields. I was curious if i actually had to spend so much time bailing and collecting when the loading wagon is much quicker overall. Now i know. Thanks.

Thank you. Finally I've been looking to find out how To do this forever. 😂

I wonder if sunflower header gathers more sunflowers than a corn header does

👍. U forgot your fav. The milling machine. 😎. For the rookies. Don’t forget u can’t just use a hired worker to collect, unless u use courseplay or follow me mod.

I've had issues with trying to use a bailer while doing other "contract" work in same field. Example: Harvesting wheat on contract and trying to run a bailer behind it. It won't let you

Farmer Cop, I harvested wheat in Jan in FS22, seasons off, cold day. Had straw swath turned on but nothing came out of the harvester. Drove the harvester to Clever Motors to get it repaired and the harvester dump a huge mega load pile of straw in the parking lot. How can I get my straw? I tried a bucket loader. Straw pickup trailer. Conveyors. Nothing worked.

You might want to consider calculating it without the cost of the equipment as they are now assets that have a value minus the depreciation. It would make the whole thing easier as well as it wouldn’t matter what eq a person used.....but again another good informative video. Thx

For the future, a possiblity is to put the money you have to a nice round number, save it, then when you lease, hire a worker, repair, and work out the cost that arises (you'd only repair your own equipment, but it would be a cost you'd spend to reduce profit) to balance against time and revenue arising (and I would suggest pairing baling with square bales, the kit is more expensive by A LOT, but it IS a lot quicker), you can work out the cost by the money left over.

I love your videos. You're very underrated

Anyone ever tell you that yoie sound like George Lucas? 😁 Thanks for the Vids young Skywalker.

One flaw with your test in regards to Pellets, the Pellet Sell Point ONLY accepts palletized pellets, not loose. For loose, you need to look at the Barn (which the last SH update should allow for any Barn Sell Point). And palletized pellets sell a lot more than loose. Palletized pellets of course takes a huge investment of the $450k in the Pallet Pellet Hall. However, I do agree with your conclusions, that loose pickup, bales, and then pellets are the order of progression IMO. However, bales are a double-edged knife. Feeding cows with bales is good for a small amount of cows, but high numbers its a complete PITA with large mixers or the new mixer placeables (I use the 300k capacity Cow Food placeable - most don't accept bales however, but MaizePlus FE allows bale shredder to shed any bale - and there is a mod for an ~8 bale capacity shredder). Pellets besides sell price however (I see excess pellets, I make for cow food, don't over do it, better ways to make money with your land and time, or basically you can do only so much during the summer season), are excellent for storage savings, as storing the needed loose straw/hay requirements for large amounts of cattle can be expensive (and lop sided, millions in hay/straw storage, and storage for other crops will go unused). Pellets however have the 4:1 ratio in size, so they are great to keep storage costs down.

Are tractors with tracks ok? Like do they still pull the trailers grainers balers etc?

Question: I haven't looked at any of the code so I was wondering how do modders determine the price point for all those additional crops I see on player made maps?

OMG fantastic video!!! I always collect straw with wagon mainly for cows then sometimes bale for TMR but always round!!!! But l like pellets because for easier storage.... no bale restrictions like with bale..... but HATE how slow it is!!!! What the game don’t allow is collecting loose with a chopper which would be better than a wagon like.... for larger transportation quality!!!! Could you do a TMR video since we have a TMR silo now Vs buying it or making it ourselves???

What would be the cost add on if you make pelts from bales? If you already have the bailing equipment, the adding the pellet maker from bailes makes sense.

Get a modded grain bin then buy a loading wagon. Easy way to manage straw for bedding and TMR.

great video , from my experience if you have average size fields and are planning a long term the pellets is a better deal to sell it as a bulk in the barn, not worth the time to make pallets in the factory , or if you have very large fields you can just rent it like i did yesterday and made 260k pellets in 1.4 hours ,put 250k on the multi fruit silo because the price was bad but once the price come up should make around 120k $$, the total lease cost was around 23k, i play on xbox btw.

you're the boss man!

Very nice Videos

Where do I download the pellet mod or is it a dlc?

Case QuadTrack runs at 6mph with a double raked straw row. Lol i was maxing out every 15 seconds for unloading. Lmao

You cant sell loose straw on seasons. Remember!

Very good video, very nice game, i like it, from Vietnam with love 🥰

Brilliant man you are.

I use a semi with 3point in front, milling machine and the 79000 L semi trailer. Can run about 18 or 19 mph and collect the whole swath

Did they do another update for the pellet mod last time I used it it was hardly priced over what the bale price was?

HELP! I’m either tripping or being dumb straw ain’t coming out mine it’s just poudery stuff help someone

Great video

How my game doesn't come with all the bailing technologies? I have a field of round bails and no way to pick them up.

There is a round bale collector wagon, which is on the modhub, by Giants - it was in game for FS17

Can you do this for FS22? 😇

Question, how do you make such perfect square feilds?

Adding the tractor cost is not realistic. Straw is collected as a byproduct in the game.

Go, farmer cop

hi

COURSE PLAY WITH AUTO DRIVE.... ;)

i hit the like button buddy

I use bales to make it easy to store because piles get outa hand

Evening, have you seen the enhanced vehicle mod for improved performance, better 4 wheel drive?

I was going to bring up the milling machine + a trailer (way cheaper than cheapest loading wagon) but then i remembered its a mod, not base game

Like the vidieo now plz

so you decrease the price of straw by 10% and call that average but you increase the price of pellets by 60% and call that average. Where's the logic in that?

Why should i care about slots and what if i run out?

get the loading wagen or baler with windrower mods, picks up 5 lines of straw in 1 pass unfolded ;)

what map is this?
