Already available on the map « Edgewater Saskatchewan“, the flat cutting and mowing of cereals is now available on all Farming Simulator 22 maps thanks to a script (PC/Mac only): The Swathing Addon. Once activated, you must use the necessary equipment:
- Advertising -
- Le Swather Pack, which combines the self-propelled and the cutter allowing the cutting and windrowing of cereals.
- Le Macdon Pickup Header Pack, which is none other than the cut to be attached to the combine harvester to harvest the swath on the ground.
In real life, this technique, widely used in Canada, makes it possible to harvest cereals before the harvest date initially planned, because the plant (stem/straw + grain) dries more quickly on the ground once cut and takes advantage of the sunshine. to lose moisture.
Less humidity means easier threshing to separate the grain from the stalk and therefore a better expected yield. It is also at the level of quality that the farmer will find an advantage. With good drying, better conservation of the grains is expected. Finally, the only drawback, and in Farming Simulator too, is the obligation to make 2 passes: one for cutting, the other for harvesting/threshing.
Using this mod on FS 22 will give the player a 20% yield bonus.
