Fantastic! I used a mulcher today and was wondering what it was actually doing. %5 yield bonus. Good to know. Thanks Farmer Cop👨‍🌾

Shallow Cultivation (disc harrows and some cultivators) = preps field for seeding, no small or large stones, increases weed growth. This means you don't have to hire a stone collector and field prep is more straightforward BUT you probably spend a little more money/time on weeding if you have that switched on. I shallow cultivated and then seeded a field waited just one day and the weeds were already above 50%. Normally theyd grow slow but I hadnt tested wether a dragged weeder would work. Likely outcome is that shallow cultivation is quicker for planting but the weeds grow so fast that you spend a lot on Herbicide as a trade off. It all really depends what you can afford. Some power harrows can be attached to seeders or even attached to the front of tractors so you can cultivate and see at the same time, like a makeshift direct drill. It's great that we have this wide variety but the tooltips / help info aren't exactly explanatory of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of field prep.

So essentially from what you're saying, what Farmer Cop tested, & from my own gameplay, we trade stones for weeds assuming weeds are enabled. So if weeds & periodic plowing aren't enabled, should be able to use a shallow cultivator to avoid rock damage & have the least maintenance, while being faster than some of the other equipment. Nice, but can be boring for a small farm & a bit more convenient if playing a very large operation.

I found your channel with your test videos sometime last year. With graduating college and getting a job, I haven’t had much time to watch but I’ve been wanting to so badly.

Thank you very much. I haven't been experimenting with the different types and didn't even realize there was spaders and subsoilers in the game until recently. I absolutely hate plowing so it's good to know we have other options that will take care of the plow state and are easier to work with than a plow. Maybe even get some mods out there that will add some wider ones. Thanks for the video!

Helpful info as always! You need to do a yield size test asap like you did in FS19! Surprised the game doesn't show you this, but having an idea of how much of a crop I'm gonna get for same size field is very useful info!

Thank you! I would love to see more videos of this type for us that are not farmers but love the game.

Thank you for your Farm Sim 22 guides! I am a new player and so appreciate your videos explaining the game functions as I am such a visual learner!

FC, these are my favorite videos! I really appreciate the time that it takes to set up and run the tests because it saves me so much time in game!

Thank you so much for this video, I've been getting frustrated with the new field states/textures and not knowing much about the new setups so this helps alot! I just got my 1.02 patch so I'm going to play around with it later

This was a much needed video for so many people including myself. Thank you so much!

Great had most of the info I needed about these field prep tools. Only thing missing is the slightly related facts of which work for what contracts. In FS19 I would mainly use a Subsoiler (for the easier shape), but I kept a plow around because I needed to use that for plowing contracts.

Good video. I hadnt realized small stones and large stones had different visuals. I just assumed small stones were in the soil texture and all the visible grey stones were classed as large. Nice to know I can get a cheap roller to prep the seedbed sometimes without hiring the slow stone collector.

Been wondering what all of these do. Super helpful!

It seems that if you plow a field, no weeds grow in it during that entire crop. However, if you use a subsoiler, you will have to spray for weeds. I plow everytime and have yet to need a sprayer.

@olympiad013

2 жыл бұрын

With the subsoiler the weeds jump to 100% growth and spraying only reduces it to 50%, if you prepare the seed bed they grow to 50% and you can get it down to 0%. Much better to use a plow and get no weeds IMO

@KNJensen

2 жыл бұрын

@@olympiad013 I agree! If you run the plow right behind the combine, and use the big plow, its not that time consuming either.

I think there should be a min till (minimum tillage) bonus. Like if you used disks or maybe the shallow cultivator for 3yrs without using others you would get a 10% yeild bonus, because the low disturbance (working only on the first few inches/centimeters) preserves the bacteria in the soil and keeps a nutritious seed bed. Whereas with plowing and cultivating etc. you are moving large amounts of soil and disturbing the ground, you dont give the ground the chance to build as good nutrition. The disadvantage of min till in fs could be that you need to use herbicide twice, once after agitating the ground with disks and once when sown. Keep in mind I don't think direct drill should have the bonus because you save time, and from personal experience irl, direct drill brings up large amounts of stones. Idk just an idea.

I got really confused as to what all the various equipment was for and when you need them. I've been getting a lot of "no fields found" from my ai workers and I suspected it was because I was forgetting to prepare my fields correctly.

Good job, very helpful!

not sure if you've updated this since, but from what i can gather, the mulcher provides the fertilizer bonus only if you cultivate over it after, and it also may only work on crops that produce straw, but straw was not removed.

Thanks….needed this video.

Thank you for the content 🙏

I've always wanted to get into doing more, but with my limited time I'm sort of stuck with playing without having to do this or I would never get anything done. Thanks for the info incase I ever get a chance to take advantage of the extra features in the game.

But FS17 was the one that needed ploughing every three harvests. FS19 just after certain crop types, and lime every three harvests.

TBH, from a "realism" perspective, I'm kinda sad periodic plowing doesn't work for ALL fields like it did in 19 and prior. It was something to plan for, and made sense, that after a certain number of harvests your field would need "rejuvenation" by plowing, deeply turning the soil, versus just skimming over the top with a cultivator over and over and over.

Loving these Guide/Testing videos you are doing! Keep up the great work!

The mulcher will add a fertilizer state if you cultivate afterwards. This works at least with the vineyards to get your first fertilizer state by mulching then using a cultivator straight afterwards.

Great job! Keep it up! I'm just waiting on a no man's land map for fs22🤠

Very interesting video ! Thx for sharing, greetings from Belgium

Just a note. You didn't have to plow every three harvests in FS19 either, only after doing corn, sugar beet and potatoes. Lime was every three harvests. (And I believe it still is, haven't tested it yet)

You’re awesome!

From what I've seen direct drilled or disked ground (and shallow cultivated?) doesn't allow for a mechanical weeder to get 100% of the weeds. It will only remove 50%. For 100% weed reduction you need to use herbicide.

Yeah nice video I got a spader because it was in the second hand shop but boy its slow!

So far my testing shows that a plow stops weeds from sprouting. Do subsoilers and spaders also stop weed growth? If you mulch and use a roller and plow to prevent weeds what order should they be used in for the maximum effect?

Would have been nice for you to include weeds. I know plowing doesn't give you weeds but direct seeders might have them grow in faster but I don't know all the details.

Something to remember with a spader is that you can seed directly into it where with a plough or a subsoiler you still need to cultivate before you can seed(or at least I think so, correct me if I'm wrong(that is how it works irl at least))

Hello FC, hope you are doing well. I noticed that my new fields on no man's land where showing being in the 2nd stage of fertilizer before I even put any fertilizer down. The field was all grass that I mowed and collected before using a subsoiler to create my fields. I am using the create fields with cultivator mod, version 1.0.1.0. . I created a new game on Elmcreek with no mods at all. When use the plow to create a new field on lot 56, that field shows fertilized at 50% when I look in the map it shows that field with the first state of ferritization. When I ran the plow through the unharvested field of oats the area the plow went through showed a fertilize % of between 10 and 20%. I got the same results when I used the subsoiler on the existing field. When I turned the mod back on and created a new field with the subsoiler I got the same results as the un-moded test with the plow. Looks like the made the change after your video but I haven't yet been able to find it in the patch notes.

@FarmerCop

If you create a field over where there is grass it usually adds some level of fertilizer and could be more or less depending on the map

Thanks for doing my suggestion

As a hint, if you use a direct planter after a mulcher, it gets a fert. state! So thats very confident

thx

I would recommend doing this video again, but following a crop that doesn't require plowing like wheat or soybeans. Also is there any difference when using these if there's still chaff left on the field?

Anyone else know the Brian Reagan joke about fridges, 800 dollars, keeps your food cold? If not, go watch a Brian Reagon special, he is a treasure. If so, same vibes as he went through all the machines.

Am I missing something, but in my experience, the power Harrow will not allow weeds growth and therefore save you the herbicide/weeder job.

You are a legend FC. Great video. I needed to know all of this. I am far from an expert and this helped me so much.

Going by the textures, though, do the Subsoiler and similar still allow for the field being mulched? The game doesn't explain very much what the difference between all that is, other than the plowing state...

So basically all you need is a cultivator and a plow & a roller and a stone picker for the large stones after plowing........... Harrows are usually used to remove track marks (if you want to change your lines etc) and soften the top soil but seems this is a non factor in farming sim 2017 - 2022. Would be nice if they actually made the useless items useful but hey......

Sooo ya know that the kinze blue planter is also direct. If it has the hand over the seed it’s a direct planter

There is a mod that allows other units to create fields.

Mulching is the first step before spreading lime, ploughing/cultivating/scarifying, spreading seed, weeding, fertilising, rolling. That's what I've picked up any way

Do any of these add the seed bed state? What does that do? I can't find any info on that specific state. I am assuming it translates to a 5% yield if you plant on it, but haven't confirmed yet.

There are different types of plows that farmers/ranchers use. (Proper words if ya want to use them) The ingame "plow" is considered a moldboard plow. It completely flips the soil over. The ingame "cultivators" are considered to be chisel plows (they chisel and turn over the topsoil) The ingame "shallow cultivator" is more than likely to be a field cultivator. (Correct me if im wrong) And the ingame "subsoilers" are either like V rippers or maybe like a renovator. (Correct me if im wrong again) Sorry not trying to sound arrogant, just tryin to help ya out

Great video, as usual. I'm unclear on periodic plowing though - if on, do you need to plow every time for your root crops or every three harvest for it?

@FarmerCop

2 жыл бұрын

Every time for corn, root crops and sugarcane but otherwise only when it says its required (usually once and your good)

The big stones happen with how often you work the field. So for example; if you plough once, then cultivate... The rocks get bigger, regardless. If you mulch, plow and then cultivate the field will produce "Large Rocks" purely because of the fact you have worked the field 3 times. I figured that out the hard way 😅🤣

It might be worth a comment with the mulcher you said you testing it doesn't add the field to a ready state which is correct but your testing with the Broken Seeders as they have a power harrow that is currently not working so it would be worth saying tested with the seeders power harrow turned off as when giants fix these it could give the illusion it does.

I think the mulcher didnt "show signs" of working in the field is because it was a corn field. I'm thinking because the field needs to be plowed because it was a root crop it makes mulching irrelevant? I could be wrong

If you mulch and then plough would you in effect get a 20% yield increase?

@FarmerCop

2 жыл бұрын

No, it would be a 5% yield bonus for mulching and you would avoid the -15% yield deficit, its important to note that by plowing you just bring the yield up to 100% as opposed to 85% and by mulching you could go from 100%yield to 105% just as fertilizer would bring you (per fertilizer state) from 100% to 123% yield

Mulching is needed tho for a 100% bonus to yield.

also if you need to lime you have to prepare the ground, you can't lime on a mulched field

One problem I ran into was weeds with the shallow cultivator come up and can’t be sprayed for some reason not sure if this is a bug or whay

One addition: Maybe add the corresponding values in metric units in Post. :D

Thanks for the video, great details for a NooB like me. Would you do a follow-up on the BEDNAR FB3000-TO6000-PT6000 please ? It has the subsoiler which lifts the rocks, has a cultivator and then a roller to re-bury them. It also has a fertiliser option (but couldn't get that loaded no matter how hard I tried). It's really expensive, but if you can do all these functions in one, it may be worth it. Not sure. Thanks again.

Very good video and I agree with the periodic plowing, it is a huge step forward. But at the same time they also made three steps backwards with the direct seeding and as a licensed farmer I'm very pissed off about that. For example, the first three seeders don't allow direct seeding. But they literally are power harrows with a drill hooked up. You can't even separate them anymoore and just use the power harrow to cultivate like in fs 19. You have to buy the exact same power harrow separately and that is just steaght up stupid.

Suggestion, how will these implements work with precision farming DLC? Are there changes that need to be aware of, so you can get a high yield bonus with that DLC on?

They need to add a bigger stone picker 😂

They said a roller add a yield bonus add help with stones dont know if it really does though

Why would anyone use a Spader? It's much slower than the other two for ploughing

Ploughing gives a bonus which you lose by cultivating, but does your environmental score go up by not ploughing, would this counter the loss?

So in order of machinery use is 1) mulcher, 2) plower, 3) cultivator… optional 4) shallow cultivator… and then final with the seeder machine … is this correct?

This may be a silly question but can the mulcher be attached to (say… 🤔) a cultivator and pulled one behind the other?

Sure time isn't as important as fs19 because of the seasons but you don't want to sit at 4mph doing 10 acres especially paying 1$ a second for a worker.

If you plant with that stubble texture you can spray for weeds right away dont have to wait

But if you mulch then cultivate you do get a fertilizer state. Do you have a video about the order to do them and what you need and don’t.

Should do a test on workers, their cost per hour if it's different if your just traveling , transporting or doing field work. Idk cause I feel they are very costly compared to fs19. I would like the details on it and am much to lazy and would be good content I believe lol.

i posted in the stream and doing so here, cause it needs attention to i think. and i'm not big enuff to make a complaint lol. when using the field markers on the side of planters etc.. it will plow up a row of rocks. so you have to plant a row, then pick up a row of rocks then plant that row and do the same.....very annoying or just dont use field markers which i've gotten used to... so sad.
