If you don't mind suggestions: Sell off the truck, get a winch and a tractor. You can haul 4 logs at a time, and if you get the measurement mod you can cut them to an ideal length. That way you can maximize the profit you get for selling logs. Any bits that are too short you can stockpile until you can afford a chipper. DO NOT get the Vermeer chipper mod. The yield from that mod is less than 10% of the vanilla chippers and can't take larger logs. Yes, you will lose some transport speed with a tractor but being able to haul full length logs will keep your profits well ahead of what a pickup can do.
Great start. Remember, when selling logs for money 6m is the best length. The little skidsteer cant handle that on bigger pines like lodgepoles but you should get 4-5 meter pieces easy. Also the small skidsteer will struggle to put log into the black log trailer.
Thanks for the tips! I've got a plan for trailer loading that won't require any lifting, hopefully it works. I'm kind of forced to get a little creative with the limitations I have placed on myself.
Dec. 28, 2024 Nice play through for Ep 1. Glad you're not on Hard economy. I don't mind watching survival type series but I don't like watching them if they drag on and on and on. Yours looks like you will have steady progress, which is good, not only for you but for your viewers as well. See ya in Ep 2. Thank you and take care.
I will definitely need to start doing that at some point. My one little plot has limited trees so it won't sustain me forever. I am also not sure how much money I can pull out of it before it is fully harvested.
@@hugz6559 Anything but baron tree striped landscapes. Everyone says how beautiful the maps are then does their Saurman impression, "Tear Them All Down!" and gets busy turning them into wide open baron industrial zones. Better design, less maximizing
You'd be better sticking with just your chainsaw. I just spent over $30,000 service cost on 1 medium tractor ! Intresting series though, you really have got a LOT of patience mate !!! Ps what is your economy difficulty ???
I have the economy set at normal. I was thinking of going with hard but I think that would take wayyy too long to make progress. Thanks for watching! :)
@@hugz6559 wow, thats tough. Its a good idea though. Because of the nature of farm sim, I actualy watch lots of youtube while playing.pretty much you and mr sealyp n farmer COP. Thats impossible when I play war thunder of course. On console, this current gen and last gen games have been super dumbed down. Very disapointing, but 40 years of gaming , i do NOT want to go ba k to Pc gaming. All those boot disks and endles incomlatibility wore me down 20 years ago. Ha ha ha. Farm sim is always a good few weeks gaming though its one of the rare console games worth my time

Good idea, I love it.
Been waiting for someone to do a play through like this and really liking it! Straight work, can’t wait to see more. Definitely subbed!
Glad you like it! Thanks for subscribing! :)
Wood chipper is massive profit
I agree!

Thank you! Series will probably be around 10 episodes max :)

For a side quest... every tree you cut down you should plant 1+ tree
I will definitely need to start doing that at some point. My one little plot has limited trees so it won't sustain me forever. I am also not sure how much money I can pull out of it before it is fully harvested.
Absolutely plant Lodgepoles to replace everything you cut down.
