If you have fertilizer left, you can unload it first at your farm. It’s okay if there are some tiny spots still not covered.ĭoes the field tell you it also needs lime? Then head back to the shop, buy lime and repeat the same procedure. It should now be fertilized to 50%, look at the right corner box while standing on the field. The yield will be even higher.īack on the field, you turn it on and cover the whole field in fertilizer. Tip! Repeat the process after planting to increase the fertilization to 100%. Then, hook up your spreader to your tractor, position it right next to the BigBag and click the button to refill. Click on the BigBag category and buy the Solid Fertilizer Bigbag. Tip! Beehives in proximity to the field increase the yield of potatoes!įertilizer will improve the yield. Lower it into the soil, and start plowing. We use a subsoiler instead of a plow, because it's way faster. If potatoes already have been planted and harvested before, you definitely have to plow to get rid of the roots left in the soil. If necessary (the field info box lets you know), you have to plow the field, first - depending on what grew on it before. Note, that you can only plant potatoes between the beginning of March and the end of April if seasonal growth is enabled.
Got everything you need? Then let’s start on your assignment and plant some crops. Tip! You might want to use multiple trailers at once to transport the potatoes. You may use one weight module for multiple tools (see our recommendation) - small weight discrepancies are not critical. * Weight attachments recommended: C lick on "combinations" on the shop page of a tool to display corresponding weights to attach to your tractor. Fertilizer: BREDAL K105 + Tenwinkel FGB-600 *.Hoe: Einböck CHOPSTAR 5-90 ROW-GUARD + Tenwinkel PAC-1000*.Haulm Topper: Grimme KS 75-4 + Tenwinkel FGB-600*.Planter: Grimme GL 420 + Tenwinkel PAC-1000*.If you have the money, buy a self-propelled harvester instead - this will save you a lot of time. Although it takes longer, buying separate machines is cheaper. We use both a haulm topper and a harvester as separate machines. You also need a trailer to transport and sell the harvested crops.There are two options: You could invest in the expensive self-propelled potato harvester, or get a haulm topper and pulled harvester combination. Otherwise, the income from your crops will be reduced when you sell it. You need a hoe to get rid of the weeds that will soon pop up.If your field requires lime, it will be shown in the right corner box if you’re standing on the field and on the map in the menu. A fertilizer spreader is found in the fertilizing technology category. You find both lime and fertilizer in the BigBag section of the shop. For beginners, artificial fertilizers are the best choice. Without, the income from your harvested crops will be lower. You need a fertilizer spreader, fertilizer (and lime).After the first harvest, you can use your own potatoes to fill up the planter.
You also need to buy a Bigbag of crop seeds containing all the different crop types. In the ‘Potato’ category in the tool tab of the shop, you find specialized planters. A subsoiler is easier and faster to use than a plough, although both works. Because of the roots, you need to plow the field after every harvest. You require weights in addition to various tools, so the front wheels of your tractor don't lose traction because of the heavy machinery attached in the back.
