Auger wagon question

[jerdawg]

Hi Farmers,
I have a question about the Auger Wagon. I tried to drive it under the Hay/Grass loft and fill it up, but it will not allow me to. Tipper works fine.
I have been trying to figure out how I can get a straw swath picked up besides using a loader wagon. I tried forage harvester and it just runs over it and does not pick up. So I thought I would buy the hay/grass loft and load the auger wagon from there. My whole idea it to fill the auger wagon with straw so I can use it for my animal beds.
I'm starting to think the only way to use a auger wagon is by following a harvester (not work on straw swath though).
Any tips on how I can get straw to the animals using an auger wagon?
Thanks guys!

the pipe on the auger wagon is filled with a screw (auger). Combined with the bottom of the wagon filled with the screw pulling it towards the pipe and the screw inside the pipe pulling it threw it. Because of this auger setup long things like grass and straw will not properly go threw it. Only grains, seed, solid fertilizer(pellets).

In FS the auger wagon is generally used to fill up sowing machines in remote fields with fert and seed. And a couple other various things.

As for getting straw to your animals. You will need to either use a loading wagon, or bale it. But you said you where filling up a loft with it so you are already familiur with the loading wagon. You can use the loading wagon (or any tipper that can haul straw) to take it to the animals. since you can just dump it into the straw area. However there is a couple mods that give a spraw effect when dumping straw into animals like you are spreading it for bedding.

when you store lose straw near the cows, http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=972627290 you can also put it into the shed using a frontloader or a wheel loader. I got my Liebherr parked at the cows and use it to fill anything into the trough or the mixer wagon.
