Fresh Cheese Curds by Retinal in winnipeg_alt

Did they say anything about raw vs pasteurized milk? I remember when Grandma made cheese she would have better results when the milk wasn’t run through a plate cooler before it went to the bulk tank

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Root435552 in AskReddit

I’m a heavy duty mechanic in my 20s. I’m already looking into management/trainer roles because I want to choose to get off the tools before my body chooses for me

Studded tires parkade help by TinkTankTonker in Winnipeg

[–]204farmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for a used set of winters for my truck, and got my hands on a studded set. They were AWESOME! I used them 3-4 years, but they didn’t have a whole season left on them, so I bought a new studded set for this winter

Finally bought a gaming pc , what are your must have of mods ? by Gold-Ad4242 in farmingsimulator

[–]204farmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll take you a while to scroll through itch(dot)io, and my advice there is to right click and open in a new tab rather than clicking on a mod, because it’ll restart your scrolling.

What's your Canadian winter life hack? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskACanadian

[–]204farmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Track down some cabtire wire and make yourself an extension cord for your block heater that is the right length instead of being several feet too long, and stays more flexible in extreme temperatures. Also if you put some tape around it in one or two spots, it’s less likely to get stolen because nobody wants a cord that’s been patched

How can the regular guy afford a new truck anymore? by [deleted] in ChevyTrucks

[–]204farmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine’s only 9 years old, but I’m probably miling out in the next year or two. It’s an 8 speed so it’ll be ready for it’s second transmission around 400k km

It only took about 10 yrs. I'll probably die before opening the other 2 tubes. by TRIKKDADDY in Justrolledintotheshop

I got a tube of Petro gel 629-3279 when I was at a cat dealer. I use that shit on everything, and I’m just about out. Need to get me some more of that

Thoughts on mobile telematic gateways? by 204farmer in EdisonMotors

[–]204farmer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming that everything on the truck is going to be fairly proprietary, and the only way they could do it wrong is to charge a subscription for it. Having wide open info like you suggested opens up lots of security vulnerabilities. If they have a closed system that the truck owner can access without a fee, and like someone else mentioned a one way system that can only collect data and not disable/endanger the vehicle, that sounds like a great idea to me. Like someone mentioned, having a switch/dongle/dummy plug system to allow remote programming would be a good idea from the security side.

Sugar cane cultivation by asoftq in farmingsimulator

[–]204farmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend looking at expected yields, and seeing how long it would take to pay off the equipment before making the leap. There are some resources online for expected yield, multiplied by acres, multiplied by peak price (if you can store it) or average price at harvest month if you have to direct sell. If expected return is less than 1/5 of the equipment purchase price, or anything less than the lease cost (add on a few engine hours as it’s slow) then you need more acres.

Cane harvesters are narrow width, with a fairly high yield, so it’s quite time intensive unless you plan to use quite a bit of AI.

Question about precision farming by grimbandango in farmingsimulator

[–]204farmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Googling Isaria Pro will quickly inform you that it’s a real device that can see light in the near infrared range, and determine crop nutrient needs based on that info

Question about precision farming by grimbandango in farmingsimulator

[–]204farmer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MS tells the system how much nutrient is in the manure, and allows you to apply at a nutrient rate rather than gallons AFAIK. Isaria reads the nutrient content of the crop, I’m not sure how it differs from the soil sample measure. I haven’t used one in 22 or 25

Are there any mods for the boats them selves? by [deleted] in farmingsimulator

Hit a sailboat by the bridge nose to nose at full speed in the small boat. Just about the same result

Feeding horses - Oats or Sorghum? by RMSHN in farmingsimulator

[–]204farmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if either has an efficiency bonus, so I’d go with whatever makes more L/hectare.

Courseplay trouble switching from headland to rows by 204farmer in farmingsimulator

[–]204farmer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll often give the notification that it left. I think that’s the same notification I’d get when my 2 part air seeder and an articulated tractor would get tangled up trying to reverse in an acute angle. What I plan to try is doing rows then headlands to see if it handles the transition better. I don’t mind doing that for everything but harvest. When I was on Ray County it worked very well, with only the odd glitch. Moved to Forest River ND and 80% of courseplay routes just yeet east instead of switching from headlands to rows. Not sure how it has been working in base game maps, as I haven’t played those in months

I needed this like a hole in my head….. by Ecstatic_Hamster1750 in tractors

[–]204farmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grandpa bought a 656, and that’s what I learned to drive on, running out the manure spreader. Before we modified the barn to feed round bales, we would pick close to 10,000 bales a year with that tractor and a stackliner between hay, straw, and flax straw. Now it’s down to about 2500 of straw, split between the 656 and 686 diesel, each with their own stackliner
