cant close the John Deere CP690 cotton harvester

[Exoreya]

i harvested a cotton field with the John Deere CP690 unloaded the bale from the press chamber but there is still some cotton left in the pre chamber that i cant get out

is there any way to fully unload the harvester or am i stuck with a forever unfolded harvester?

It probably still works like this. https://forum.giants-software.com/viewtopic.php?t=158907

I also expect you can just reset it and you will lose whatever is left inside.

Kind'a silly to expect you to reset the vehicle in order to 'fix the issue'. I like having a sense of realism in the game, if at all possible.

I get that you want realism but I just offered a solution to solve the OP's current predicament along with a link to hopefully avoid that in the future.

Apologies, I didn't mean to come across as harsh or the like. I was more venting any anger I have towards the devs of the game, not towards you, and I do realize you can't have everything perfect either.

so basically this is not a new problem, just a problem “imported” from a f.ing PAID FS19 DLC!
I can understand the anger: selling it for FS19, don't fixing the problem for 2years and then putting it in FS22 still without addressing the obvious problem

PS: Its also a bit silly but if you use the "Autodrive" mod and tell the harvester to drive somewhere, the mod closes the harvester for transport even if the press chamber is full

Slight update: I saw the “John Deere CS770” on the modhub with it ballistically the same vehicle just a bit faster

the description states, quote: For the folding of the machine for transport, the first cargo container must not be above 15% of its capacity

maybe the same applies to the original too but I haven't tested it

All cotton harvesters in the game are affected by the new update and will not work properly. We will have to wait for Giants to fix the issue. I have confirmed this with the mod author for the CS 770. I have also confirmed it affects all maps and all harvesters in the game including the base game models.
