snow or rain

[FRANKDREBIN]

zielonka map here planting potatoes

the weather forecast is awful and shows snow until the second day of april. will rain on third. (Im playing 3 "days" a month)

when I should plow and plant??? may I plant under rain or I will have yield loss later?
my fields are almost invisible, everything is white
as it wasn´t painful enough work with potatoes on big fields lmao

Planting shouldn't matter if it's raining or snowing, harvesting there's a little flashing warning as it have a yeld penalty.

Unless you use the "Real Mud" mod in which case rain will bog down your equipment (tedious but more realistic).

thanks
anyway I sent the AI driver to plough the field and he did it under the snow

but I think I´ll wait the rain to plough/harvest the bigger field

p.s. I was using the agromasz xl, just now I found out that I could use a 8m subsoiler instead

I completely ditched plows and cultivators in favor of subsoilers.

as a newbie, I didn´t know they existed.

I turned off regular plowing but the potatoes need it anyway after every harvest.

Once I rented a cultivator and it didn´t work on my soil. But the subsoiler is what I needed.

I try to work with the bigger, better machines available if not I just stick to sheeps.

I change my months to at least 10 days and check every day if the thing I need is on sale. At the moment I need the Biggest Subsoiler and a decent forklift

In the modhub there is the "LIZARD Subsoiler 6MT/9MT" (you'll find it under "Subsoilers") by Blacksheep Modding. I've used it for years. Comes in 6m and 9m, $17,000/$19,000 models and can also be used to create fields.

I love it, and the foldable 6m Kuhn, they are my to go subsoilers.

Is it that thing that you can attach either on the front or the back?
That thing is a must have! :D

That's the one, you can have the subsoiler on the front and a cultivator or seeder on the back (given the horsepower).

If you are looking for a large plow the mod hub has the John Deere 2410 by J.A. Modding. 16.7M and needs 320 hp.

This one's good if you're looking for a 6m wide one that actually exists. I try to stay away from Lizard equipment, personally. Let the console uses have the made up equipment.

illgib mentioned Kuhn, I like their little 4m for smaller fields. I almost always end up owning one.

The base game Agrisim Cultiplow is another good one I use often at 8m. Courseplay seems to miss small pieces of field and I have to go back over some. If your OCD can handle that though, it's a good subsoiler.

Exactly - and its the perfect tool to create new fields with without having to fix uneven borders afterwards.

btw: If you tun the subsoiler around HP are much less of a problem in the setup you mentioned. ^^
Its a cheesy feature and if anyone asks -> I did'nt say anything. :D

That's lovely too, but i don't like that most vanilla ss are stubble cultivator, i have three, all from mods, that have deep soil enabled, how they should in reality.
Makes no sense a deep cultivator to not work "deep" :D

this is the one I use, the 8m one
