you can´t empty the harvester. u can unlaod the bales from the second storage as soon as the harvester started to create a bale. but you can´t unload the first storage with the cotton itself.

he does not allow the machine to be put into the transport position

yes this is correct, you cant fold the harvester as long as it is loaded with cotton ....

So one would think this above issue is fixed by now. But I am having the issue. ! i leased the equipment so I can not go to another field to add cotton.
And 2. I bought another field when testing the above went and got another harvester that had approximately 2100 cotton when done and I could not unload that one either. GIANT needs to fix this.

Yeah, pretty much take a pic of your cotton harvester when it's new, cause you're never going to see it folded again.

Turn off your harvesters auto drop and you'll be able to drop the partial bale with "Y"

@PayneStoneBack is that Y on a controller? cause Y on the keyboard did nothing for me. at 28% cotton and 0% ball

AFAIK partial bales cannot be dropped without the help of mods. And those I've tried were no good.

On my x-box controller it's LB + Y. Use the F1 help.
And I recommend the mod "Extended Input HUD" for learning / remembering the keys / buttons.
EDIT: I suggest that mod, as it allows to expand the F1 help to silly levels. Try it :)

how idk how to empty cotton harvester

[Leadmagnet]

The base game John Deere will not unload a partial bale. The base game Case harvester will unload a partial bale (use "Y").

What I have found is that if a bale counter mod is used; the Case cotton harvester loses the ability to unload a partial bale. I cut the Vermeer DLC off due to it having the bale counter in it and I could then unload a partial bale again with the Case harvester.
