With this method, you can simply place the Wood Chipper next to a pile of logs - and use the chipper's own crane to lift them in.
FARMING SIMULATOR 17 WOOD CHIPPER MOD MANUAL
The cutting head (and the entire fallen tree with it) must be positioned very carefully and precisely for this to work - requiring a lot of manual precision and control. A Tree Harvester (while still holding a fallen Tree) can cut logs to fall directly on the conveyor belt.This is a relatively simple method, which requires good driving skills. A Loader with a Log Fork can lift a log right onto the conveyor.Logs can be placed on the grinder using several different methods: The larger the conveyor belt, the easier it is to place logs on it to get them pulled into the machine. On some models, it is a very small platform, on others a long belt - but it works the same way in either case. Any log that touches this conveyor gets sucked in closer to the grinder until it makes contact and is fully pulled in as described above. Any log that comes into contact with the rotating grinder will be slowly sucked into the machine and turned entirely into Wood Chips.Īdditionally, each model of grinder has some sort of conveyor belt or similar device right in front of the grinder, where logs can be placed. Once a Wood Chipper is properly set up and activated Wood Chipper: Activate Default Buttons: B ?, its grinder begins to rotate. When you're done, don't forget to turn the tractor's engine off again Vehicle: Stop Engine Default Buttons: Enter ?, so it doesn't waste fuel (and maybe reset the game setting to "On"). Your tractor will now stay running and will keep the chipper running while you load logs into it.
Then get into the tractor, turn the engine on Vehicle: Start Engine Default Buttons: Enter ?, and get out. To solve the problem, go into the "Game Settings" menu, and set "Automatic Engine Start" to "Off". One problem with this is that the towing vehicle must keep its engine running while the chipper is being fed with logs - but when you jump out of the tractor to lift the logs into the chipper, the engine is automatically turned off. Mobile models of Wood Chippers must be connected to a vehicle in order to function - and the vehicle must be capable of transferring power into the Wood Chipper.
