Yes, one thing:

There are cultivators that can do planting, and those are indeed not what we need.
But there are planting machines for our crops that are cultivators at the same time.

Plus some of the crops benefit from 10% yield gain when you plow (wheat barley oats I believe).

If there’s one you suggest I’m happy to look at it. Ads and I were looking but didn’t see anything that seemed to provide a significant benefit at the moment.

The Agro Masz Salvis 3800 is a pretty big sowing machine for 32000 and it says it doesn’t need plowing nor cultivating, and it fertilizes too.

you able to hop on discord? I can pop in game as well and we can discuss?

Not sure about fs19 but in fs17 that was the same as plowing

Sorry I don’t have discord

So we looked at that model, but our current setup sows 1m wider. Yes, you could fert same time, but fertilizing doesn’t take that long to be honest - both our units throw it really wide.

We were thinking if anything at the moment to duplicate our current sowing setup so we can have two people sowing and you’ve effectively got 8m sowing at less than the price of that Agro. You do need to plow first, though.

Ah ok. That’s fine.
I guess it was a bit too magical in fs17 :smiley:

I’ll have to review (it’s all very new to me), but there are some interesting cultivator/sower rigs that are on up the scale as we grow.

Ya, it’ll be nice to get another field or two going and start to see the $$ come in a bit quicker.

Another weird thjng:
I am seemingly incapable of filling up the machine with seeds.

I assume you’ve got the seeder on the back… did you attach the hopper in the same shed space to the front?

Omg I am an idiot.
I actually never used such a seeder, always the other kind that is in one part. :smiley:

Also, lowering the seed hopper on the front down onto it’s tires takes some of the weight load off the tractor.

LOL it took ads and I a bit of fiddling when we first bought it.

So regarding a cultivator…
@Rhinosaurus we can integrate a couple of quite affordable cultivators with our existing Kuhn BTF4000 sower!

Check out the Kuhn HR4004 Power Harrow (it fits between the Sower and the Tractor), and the Kuhn DC401 Subsoiler (apparently also the same mounting).

Might be a good fit, since it integrates with our existing sowing work, and at a very affordable cost.

Ok I took care of #19, next up should be harvesting.
Maybe weeding but it looks clean so far.
