Would a mod to have a hay loft turn grass into hay be realistic?

[Team Triss]

I had a thought. The tedder immediately dries the grass into hay, but if you put grass in a real hay loft, would it dry into hay, or would it mold and decompose (similar to why you get reduced yield for harvesting in the rain).

I thought about making a mod to allow the hay loft to accept grass and turn it into hay, but if it's not realistic I won't bother. Looking for thoughts.

But yes it would more likely rot. Due to moisture and darkness would be my guess. Butt maybe it would work?

I'll have to see if that mod made it to the modhuh, thanks for the link.

Figures someone else thought of it first 🤣

True if use tedder but then need windrow or forage wagon anyway to collect it. instead use mower on front and forage wagon on rear. Then only need 2 pieces of equipment. Cheaper and should be less work if AI uses both as its supposed to.. Might need to change working width though?

As an ex-farmer irl, freshly cut grass would rot/decompose in a hay loft.

However, partially dried grass will heat up and potentially catch fire.

Thanks, this is the sort of wisdom I was hoping for.

Only need two pieces and a mod, you mean.
