You can also use the forage wagon to pick up the silage from the bunker if you driver over it, probably the quickest method
Yeah, but if you have a lot of silage you get massive divots in the silage and the forage wagon just gets stuck, especially when your wagon holds 200,000 liters and you have 2,000,000 liters of silage in your bunker
I’ve been using the belt system in the agi pack that can pick up product off of the floor to transfer to a trailer.
Definitely think the belt systems are the fastest non modded way to collect silage from bunkers, I also like the silage harvester mod
@@sparks6177I’ve never even thought of that
Thanks for always taking the confusion away for us beginners. It really means alot man!
This is legendary! Thank you. I’ve always wondered what was more worth while. Grass silage is a good money maker. Corn chaff into silage is more fun through the whole process.
Thank you for making these FS22 videos, they are alot of help!
Thanks for this video! I came here for the corn silage part and glade I listened to it all. I have been doing grass silage and had no idea the bunker fermented faster.
I've been so confused by grass and silage work in this game. Great videos, it all makes sense now ! :D
In the video with the loading wagon bunker, you showed a potential bad problem many people have. You covered the silo with all the grass not in the bunker. That chaff strip sticking out which did not get covered with screw you. You go to scoop up the silage and you pick up the chaff first, and it turns your entire pit back into chaff - well, this atleast happened to me in 1.1.0.0 - not sure if they fixed it or not in 1.2.0.0. ALWAYS push you chaff all the way into the bunker...be prepared to push it a 1m inside, so you when your vehicle exits and causes the chaff to flatten and spread, it still won't be out of the bunker. Shortcuts lead to bad cuts!
Thanks for the tip!
If you use the soften tool, it will get rid of the chaff it touches, be careful though, it can also remove the fermenting silage in the bunket.
I hope your channel blows up my man. We all appreciate you guides and tips
Really enjoyed this video fc I've been wondering how you do chaff from corn and this was perfect. Thanks again for everything you do buddy.
Thorough and well organized. Thank you !
Just wanted to say thank you. These how-to videos are the best,
This video is so helpful I always thought making silage was difficult thanks for showing me the ways.
Thanks for taking the time to make these great videos !
Does anyone else feel like they could be a real farmer thanks too farmer cop?
I’ve never gotten into this or had much knowledge of this but very very helpful. Thank you Mr. Farmcopper
Man I didn't either and made myself do animals. Making TMR and going all dairy cattle, and buying the dairy point is a lot of fun. Especially building enough slurry and manure to fertilize with that as well. Cows actually make the game more enjoyable than just driving harvesters and chaser bins all day.
The one nice thing about the Anderson sausage press wrappers, is that the larger one is the ONLY one in the game that can wrap large 180cm round and 240cm square bales. Unfortunately you have to hand feed it (too bad, I've seen a conveyor mod for small bales on the unofficial sites) - however, unless you have sheep, there is no use for grass bales other than selling at horrible prices compared to hay and silage - and there is no mod even atm, with will shred grass to you can silage wrap it again - animal mixes take hay, straw, silage, not grass as well - I have made a handful of grass bales by accident, where I changed the bale size accidently to the largest, and my round wapper would not wrap it, so it dumped grass. Also, if you use your round wrapping baler that can make 180cm round straw/hale bales, sometimes I get the wrong bale I expect, when I switch between 150cm silage and 180cm straw. Depending on how many you have (I have 9 7500l 180cm round grass bales), it is worth leasing the sausage press to make silage out of them. $1800 to lease, but my $2500 in grass bales will be worth ~$17k as silage, so well worth it.
The Kuhn SW4014 can wrap bales up to 220cm so thats not a big difference compared to the Anderson wrapper.
@@Luuk-ur3sp My point to use it, was at times you get grass bales instead of straw bales, if using your baler for both. And large grass bales are useless unless you have sheep...and more useless if you demand it be hay for long term storage. Therefore, you can have the sausage press to wrap those large grass bales you may get once in a while, and it will indeed pay for itself. If you have spare space to make long sausages, they are perfect to easily pick up during sell time with the Anderson and Arcusin real autoloaders...if you used modded fake bale autoloaders, dont bother. If selling silage, and not using fake autoloaders, logistics in picking up bales during sell time becomes a problem, but IMO still much better than loose, as bales have a huge density advantage over loose...with loose, trucking and trailer maintenance costs will eat a lot of profits, and your most valuable resource....TIME. With maintenance and fuel, loose is far more inefficient than bales in FS22...needed only for corn silage, until someone makes a corn silage baler...and those do exist IRL and should now be possible as a mod in FS22.
By far the best way to get silage out of the silage bunker is to drive the forage wagon over it and pick it up straight from the pit and then use that trailer to sell it
I really like to unload bunker silos with the driveble feed mixer's
@@bugs_bunny4203 honestly that may be the best bet, i never thought of that personally
I’ve watched so so many videos on how to do this, and your video was the only one that made sense! Thank you!
Excellent video! No BS just right to the point. You earned and subscribe and a like from me!
Thank you so much this will help me out a lot
Thanks for this, new to the game and have been doing baled silage, but thinking of switching over to bunkered.
Idk if its a bug or what.
But my bunker is fermenting significantly faster than the bales. (Bales had a solid 2 hr head start) and my bunker is 75% fermented vs the 45% on my 1st trailer load of bales
For anyone who was curious
One of the faster ways to compress inside the bunker is to drive the largest rollers over it. Weight plays 100% of the factoring into compacting and the largest roller is by far the fastest way i have got it to 100% after about 2-4 passes! just be mindful for uneven driving as you can get stuck 👍
Thanks buddy useful information
You should have said that you can use a leveler to push that grass back into the silo so that you don’t have that grass at the front blocking the silage.
very nice video. thanks!
My won’t let me unload in the dunker
I agree!
Good stuff, thanks!
Great video Farmer Cop
Grass silage has a 25% higher yield (and I wasn't using a baler with silage additive, but the forage harvester did). Overall maintenance is probably similar. Grass will not require plowing or planting annually but does require 3 harvests to Corn silage's 1. However, grass should be rolled right after harvest for an extra layer of fertilization. Rolling versus fertilizing has a trade-off. This trade-off with time vs. money as fertilizer can be thrown out at great width, where-as the rollers aren't even close to that width but cost nothing over ground except maintenance costs. Handling may be the same between the two sileage types as corn requires hauling and a silage bin, then it needs to be picked up out of the silage bin and hauled in a trailer. This can take at least a full trailer for a small field, let alone multiple trailer loads for a size-able field. With grass baling it needs to be mowed, then baled and wrapped, then gathered and stored. Depending on the bale type or baler this can be a multi-step process. Once it ferments then it needs to be moved in bales. The bale loader can carry 24, which even with the smallest bales (3500L) is 84,000L of Silage. There aren't any trailers that can carry 84,000L of silage.
Do you know wich one is the most profitable?
@@jsjsrggwgw2658 grass by far
Love farmer cops vids
Attach the baler to the back of the tractor doing the mowing, does it all in one pass
Does it make sense to spend thousands of pounds on silage compactors and then nearly 3000 more on silage additive just to increae yeild? Depends how much more you get whether it makes sense to spend thousands of pounds of equipment then thousands more on additives.
I just wait for the bales to ferment, get good money that way from 6 fields, have another 3 fields I'm debating whether to turn into grass or buy the right seeder to plant corn
This is refreshingly sensible and straightforward.
I have a Bad Habit of overfilliung my bunkers, and wondering why I don't see the "R - cover silo" button.
So the button doesn't show up if it's overfilled? My button isn't showing up but my bunker doesnt look very fill at all
I tried both way to make bale wrap with the one by one and the sausage one like i call it. It was squared bale and it felt it was going faster like this. The wrap goes faster you just need to put your trailer close and put it on amd it goes fast.
Very helpful sir!
Probably the simplest way I’ve found of doing silage is getting the trailer to semi adapter, pull a semi trailer on the forage wagon and pick all the grass up. Then make a huge pile and use another modded square baller with a windrower on the front. Wrap them up and you’re done
You can also use this dump and bail technique with pretty much any kind of bailable item
A bad thing of ps 22 : fermented grass is the same silage as chopped corn.You only can feed the cows grass when its hay.
Hey Farmer Cop, for chaff silage, you can do this in the last grow state already. I don't know if it will give better yield but it does in real life
I just tested this, and there was about a 1% difference in yield, which is usually attributable to gave variance.
@@danielmansour7230 that's not a lot off difference, but what I meant was that in real life making chaff in the last grow state will be holding more nutritions.
I saw somewhere that the flowers of the crop are around 40,% bigger. Hope I wrote it ok so you understand what i try to explain.
Thanks for testing it
Farmer cop. Not the man we deserve. But the man we need
For big amounts I don't even bother with bales. With hundreds of liters of silage the additive make some difference. Next thing I will gonna do is I will compare yield from the same field bales vs silo with additive and will see the result.
Ropa mass is the best way to pick up silage from a silo
What button do you press to put the silage blanket on, on Xbox? I’m at 100% compaction, walked everywhere in my silage bunker but never got a prompt. Anyone know? Yes, I’m a console player lol
Great video
So can you mow green wheat or rye and wrap it?
Can you also use square bales god bless you for making these vids
More lobbys should use skid steers for silage instead of the front loaders tired of using the front loader i want to use skid steers and no lobbys have that well that i have been in you should make a video of corn silage using skid steers
8:41 im pretty sure u can also use a forage wagon to pick it up
Is it possible to use front mower attachment on a tractor with forage wagon on the back? As you mow the grass, the wagon should pick it up. And if forage wagon in 22 works like in 19, you can use it to pick silage from the bunker silo.
You can, but a large field would take a very long time as the front mowers are only a couple meters wide. But maybe the time savings from haveing it cut and picked up immediately would be better than having to cut the field then get picked up afterwards, you would need to test it but I think it’s unlikely
The fastest way to get silage out of the bunker is using the forage wagon. Picks it right up, but can get into some sticky situations if you're not careful.
There's a machine that cost 328k and is best for moving silage out of bunker it's under miscellaneous
@@dr1flush I've seen that one. It's new to the game so I haven't used it much. Too expensive for my farm right now, but I plan to try it eventually. Thanks for the info!
So which crop yelds the most silage? I hear corn is pretty good but according to the game info you can get chaff out of other crops. Would be an interesting test video to watch
Have tested it and corn is the best per area followed by grass
@@FarmerCop ah awesome thank you. I must’ve missed the video
Can you harvest the corn as a crop AND still get chaff from it? Or do you have to pick one?
You have to pick one
So the new Krone baler now also has a silage additives tank, I believe that that is the only baler with that option.
Does that make bigger bales?
@@endicekic9 nice, so the bales stay the same, but they fill up quicker
can you mix grass and chaf?
Have you done a yield comparison with different crop types for chaff yet like you did in FS19? Are the results the same?
Not yet :) But I do plan to do one
Do you not use a tender before bailing?
I was wondering Deri g why my silage bales were worth nothing. Have to wait to change to silage from grass unlike 19 was instant
Has anyone tried to harvest sunflower with the forage harvester? It didn't work for me. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
wish there was a forage trailer than can pick up hay/grass/chaff that can compact it then cover it and make silage in the trailer, cause then you can just buy a bunch of trailers instead of using the bunkers or bale wrapers cause once you have the silage you can just dump the trailer and then bail the silage
When i make the silage bales and let them ferment why wont the cattle sheds on the game take the silage bale?
I am new to this game and I am loving it but I am at the point of deleting it as this part of making silage is driving me nuts .
My problem is I cannot get any bales of grass to become wrapped, every bale wrapper I have tried says bale not supported and I have tried every shape and size of grass bale and still every time it will state bale not supported, so I was more than happy when I watched this video showing a combi baler/ wrapper like you have used, problem now is it bales fine but spits them out unwrapped, what could I be doing wrong?
Size. The auto wrappers dont't do every size try lowering it. Had this problem too.
Noob mistake by myself I was teddering the grass after mowing so I was never going to make silage with dry grass.
I'm fairly new to fs22 and I'm on console doing silage bales but the 200 bale limit is annoying as hell can you store it in a bunker and bale it later or is it even worth it
Best thing to do if you want mlre volume is to put it loose in a multifruit silo
Can chaff and grass be mixed together in the same bunker? I thought in FS19 i was able to put both of these in the same bunker and let them ferment together to make silage.
You should be able to mix them yes :)
I was doing 2 silage jobs. I borrowed the equipment from 1 of them and didn't from the other. I finished the smaller one and it did progress to the one I borrowed the equipment from. Is there a difference between square and round bales?
There is no difference between the 2 bale types, just their look and possibly their volume
@@FarmerCop I played again today and the the next batch of bails i handed in went to the other job. I did read a forum post from when the game came out that field 19 was bugged for silage. all good though. thank you.
Is anyone else having problems with it not compacted? Spent two days trying to get everything full and now it won’t let me packet
I have no idea why but I can not unload grass into the silo I did everything in the video 😭 Ive tired like everything
Are you going to do any more updates it is not on the list of map
Was hoping to learn whether you can add to a bunker that is partially filled with silage.
You cannot
you can save a little money by getting a forage harvester that way you dont need a tractor
Wish my game would work
Silage... yogurt for cattle.
Curious why IRL someone would go through the trouble of planting corn, just to harvest it early for chaff. If you were creating silage, grass is easier because... it regrows itself without a new seeding process. If these machines are this expensive compared to grain harvesters, then economically seems dumb combined with the fact that grass is dirt cheap. Maybe if the crop dies from disease or drought, this is an alternative to just burning or cutting down the stalks of the wasted crop and getting absolutely nothing in return.
Concerning TMR, nobody I know feeds their cattle anything more than hay and grazing grass. This has to be a tight acre or cow barn farm thing, or with dairy cattle. Anyone familiar with it?
Also the first setup with the baler and then get the round baler pickup and buy lot 71 every time it's ready to go on Elm Creek. Get you a plot of land and just have a mountain of silage bales and wait until January. You can easily pick them up again with the trailer. You will rival Bezos and your TMR supply can feed all the cattle in Texas for about 2 years. Round Silage bales is where it's at. Also make some smaller ones when starting out to easily mix your TMR so you don't want too much silage in the mix. Hay and straw are easier to come by so you want the least amount possible to suffice "TMR" and not turn it into forage.
Corn IRL has different nutrients than grass so it provides a different type of silage (corn silage) as opposed to grass silage for animals
I can't get the blanket covering the silage removed. I removed the first covered section and removed all the silage but I can't get the rest to uncover. Is this a bug?
Try using a front loader bucket attached to a front loader it usually works to uncover the rest of the silo
I play the mobile versions, and holy shiz, I need to get FS22...
Yes you do!! Make sure to use code FarmerCop at check out ;) in all seriousness FS22 is absolutely worth the money, I would purchase the Premium Edition because it includes ALL the DLCs plus the game and is a very good deal for what it has in it
Can you just mow normal grass or do you have to plant it first?
You can mow normal grass if you own the land, but you will get a higher yield with planted and fertilized grass
@@FarmerCop wow, u replied to a new comment on a years old video, u just earned my sub for that, love the content, always easy to grasp and yet in depth enough to help all skill levels, thanks
My question is what is the silage used for ? I will admit I'm a noob 😆 on console but hey I'm digging the videos
Its used for animal feed but is also a great way to make money just by selling it
What do you mean by chaff being the best way to do silage? Are you talking about labour being easiest or income?
If you have the equipment you get more for the amount of work you put in :)
@@FarmerCop oh wow I didnt know that, thank you!
Does it have to be that specific bunker or can it be other ones
Any bunker silo should work fine
I have a question. If you put 100 000l of grass to a silo, compres and let it ferment, how many liters of silage will you get? also 100 000? the first time, I used the silo, I've put 340 000l and ge 220 000l of silage. I have no idea that it was a bug or it suppose to be like it?
It should be 1 to 1, so 100,000 would yield 100,000 in silage, not sure why its different for you
Do they allow a double trailor behind the forage harvestor?
If you can hook the trailers up then sure
@@FarmerCop They did in Farm sim 15, the last of the series that I have played.
Hi Farmer Cop. I've been playing the mountain map for FS22 and I've noticed that a forage harvester equipped with a mower header will not cut the grass in meadows. Can you check this out? I tried all kinds of combinations of headers, forage harvesters and trailers, no luck!!!
Forage harvesters don’t cut grass. They just collect it. You need a mower to cut the grass first
@@bradonloyd1521 look at forage harvester mower type headers, you'll clearly see the grass icon as one of the crops they can handle, same with the harvesters. FS19 you could cut grass with the forage harvester as well. I'm planting grass to see if that works....
HELP! I have the large bunker 1/4 full with fermented silage. I can only remove a small portion of plastic off the top of silage. 3/4 is still covered preventing me from adding more grass to ferment. How can i remove it all to add more chaff on top?
You can only fill the bunkers once you tarp it. I don't think you can add more to it unless you move out the already fermented silage.
@@gamerpro-ys6hy so only tarp it once is what you are saying? Fill it with multiple cuttings throughout the year, compact it after i get it to the brim full, yhen tarp it only once.
@@user-rm5du1yo9p ya that's right
The thing is worse. I silaged 100k grass. Everything fermented. I managed to collect and sell 25k, but the rest is covered under plastic and I did not find a way how get it out. It is a huge disaster for my starting farm.
@@mrakomo hey david, did you try leasing the 2 belts needed to get silage out of bunker into a tipper trailer situated for silage?
What "speed up time" mod are you using?
I use the "better time scale" mod, easy development tools also has a similiar function
Can you hire a worker for the forage harvester even if the wagon is on the back?
You ahould be able to yes
Great vid very helpful, I don't understand why you would use corn over grass? What is the benefits of using corn? Many thanks. 👍
Corn has a much higher yield than grass does so you get a lot more from it but the equipment costs more :)
If playing seasons you can only grow corn once a year. Corn gives a little over twice as much as grass per harvest but grass can be harvested 3-4 times a year. Corn does require much less work for what you get but is also more expensive to upkeep since you can't fertilize with rolling and much more with reseeding.
I'd say corn silage would work best for a more advanced farm that can afford the equipment, or just wants silage to upkeep animals/production rather than selling as much of it as possible. Also if player isnt using seasons and doesn't want or have time to harvest grass every three days.
@@kayokayo7917 cheers for all the advice, it is really useful. ty :)
@@kayokayo7917 So if playing with seasons then grass is the way to go?
@@seeker7533 Depends what you're doing with it really. For max silage with seasons, yes, grass will get you 50-100% more per year. It's more work though, but also cheaper equipment-wise, though eventually you'll pay more over time for seed/fertilizer. It's pretty balanced between work, cost, and overall yield imo.
Me watching this with a pile of grass bales too big to be wrapped
Can you re compact round bales ?
I dont believe so no
hello i want the link from modhub 3:02 please !
So, from your video, the bunker takes a month, and bales 2 months? Strange. In my game, it takes 2 days...and I am running 2 day months. I am on normal difficulty. You might want to try different combinations to see if you get anything different - I wouldn't be surprised if Giants based it on difficulty...and for the days/month thing, hopefully it shouldn't matter, but who knows, maybe there is a bug. The fact though that your silage is taking 2x as long in bales is not a good sign things are working right or as expected.
it maybe just has do to with how many hours it takes, not wich month it is. But i think it would be logical to make it based on month
Why can’t i unload the grass into the bunker?
Hi, Why can only a small part be opened in the bunker? This problem also occurs in your video 8:21
It opens as you remove the silage
@@FarmerCop Thanks, it needs some tools to open it fully
how can we bale the silage from the bunker??
You dont bale it, you scoop or load it out into trailers to sell or use from the silage bunker :)
okay, so you now have to wait two days when making silage bales? they used to be instant on fs 19, as soon as you wrapped them.
Yes, this process of having to wait is more realistic and is why it was added
Just got Farm sim 22 on PS5. How did you get so much money? i havent found any good way on PS5 to get money fast and quick
Use government subsidy mod and you can get as much money as you want
I've used that big mower how did you get swath mode????
Open the help menu it has all the keys listed out to change it
@@FarmerCop I figured it out. I'm on Xbox so using controller. Wish they'd at least give us keyboard access.
@@FarmerCop also didn't know you could vary the bale fork width either.
How can you pick the bale up for me it says its to heavy?
I am using super strength
What are the reasons for turning corn into Silage? Does that become more profitable than corn?
Very much so, I can’t remember the numbers off the top of my head but you make a lot more from silage on corn than grain
what is ctrl i on a ps5 controller please ??
Open your help menu and it will show you the keybindings, I dont know the console controls
Why I can’t make silage bales in fs22.. can I something wrong ? I wrapping grass and still looks like grass not silage
Wrapped bales have to ferment
@@FarmerCop thank you 🙏
It won’t let me dump my grass into my silo :/
my silage bunker won't let me remove blanket on part of my bunker. Anyone else have this problem?
You have to use a bucket or conveyor to start removing silage then the rest of the blanket will come off as you get to it.
@@FarmerCop thanks tried front loader didn't work. demolished and started over. it may be because i uncovered the ends so the middle would not uncover.
