I having a problem with gathering fallen trees, is trhere an auto loader, I saw one on a site last night but I have been scouring the mods in the game with zero luck. what is the fastest method of picking these logs up? I been using a small fron end loader and log fork, only get one big log at a time, what is the best map to log from?

I hate to sound unhelpfull, but patience and practice are good, there are several types of cranes from various sources that can help too, but again, they need patience and pratice to master. Auto loaders that I have used haven't been that good IMHO, so I prefer to load it myself. A little trick if you are using a machine to fell trees, once you have made the first cut, drag the tree to your trailer, rest the cut end just on the headboard of the trailer and cut again, the log should then fall directly on to the trailer bed, no loading required, repeat until tree is gone.

Thanks I found this site and a auto load timber trailer, https://ls2017.com/farming-simulator-2017-mods/trailers/fliegl-timber-runner-auto-load-wood-script-v-1-0-0-17-mp/#more-6770 now I just have to figure out how to install these mods. Im familair with add ons on Microsoft Flight Simulator, and nexus mods an submarine mods have all had installers. Didnt know you could use 2015 mods?

update auto trailor works great save me allot of time, these loaders dont work the way they are suppose to, now I just have to find a decent map, mods are super easy to install too! :)

good to hear just fyi the one u have in the link doesn't have a back attacher or option for it. meaning u won't be able to do double trailers/road train like u can with the road train pack. best of luck in-game

You can get a Fliegl short timber runner with autoload from Modland. Make sure it's the one marked 'autoload' it's easy to get the wrong one.
