Transporting Seeds

[klentzkow]

How do you get the seed pallets to your farm??

[Delle(DK)]

in a new game..

Upgrade your Case IH tractor at the shop so it can use a front loader.
Buy the front loader ( the smallest one ) and buy some forks

Next lift your seeds onto your car and you can drive 2 home to your farm.
If you have trouble unloading then TIP your car with the front loader OR drive fast in a circle and they fall off.

But the best real way is to buy a cheap flat wagon and load them onto there. Remember you can tighten the pallets to your wagon if you with your player walk up next to the pallets on the waong and press an icon.

You can also "load" or empty the pallets with front loader into a normal trailer and essentially have a full trailer of seed. I assume the same works for solid fertilizer as the shop icons show that trailers accept both.

I will expand on this, when you place the pallet over the trailer the bottom of the bag opens automaticaly and emptys the contents into the trailer. Just like filling with grain at a silo. But the seed then needs to be dumped on the ground and then loaded into planter with a bucket tool.

Be aware that some machines, at least the Rapid A 600S, can NOT be loaded with a bucket, I tried everything from the skid steer bucket loading to the Kramer with a bucket, even the wheeled loaders with a bucket, nothing worked.

Might be better to invest in an Auger Wagon, which works like the combine with a pipe to let it load into other trailres or onto the ground. I did not try this method yet but if someone has do let me know so I dont have to keep fighting with the pallets on a trailer as it can get quite messy....

Download an official mod called 'refill tanks' made by giants themselves, it's in the objects category. Then just place a seed refill tank where you like.

I wish there was a seed trailer to fill up from store as another option to using a front loader

like you have for fuel and water.

Those 'tanks' cost you almost 2.5x the normal cost of the seed/fertilizer when filling up FYI...might not sound like much but when I dropped roughly $4,500 on seed just to refill my Rapid A 600S, which has a capacity of 3100, I chucked those 'refill tanks' very quickly.
