Forestry machinery | Machines Farming Simulator 18 Guide
Last update: 05 July 2017
This short chapter contains information about forestry machinery. Thanks to them you can cut, load, take and sell logs or you can simply cut down those trees that are a hindrance to your work and transport.
Ponse Scorpion King
This machine is used for cutting down trees and creating logs. In this game you can find only one machine that allows you to do it. It is slow so you should transport it by using transport trailer. To cut a tree you must slowly approach it (not every tree can be cut down, only those that are straight and tall) and observe the machine's arm placing on a tree. When it closes on a trunk you must stop the vehicle and start the cutting by pressing the action button.
Loading and transporting
A tree that was cut into pieces must be loaded on a trailer and then transported. You can do this in two ways: by using Ponse Buffalo machine that combines a wagon and an arm that can load logs or use a tractor with front end loader and log grapple. Then, you must load logs on Fliegl Timber Runner wagon (this is the only wagon on which you can put logs!). This wagon requires a hitch and can fit 28 logs.
Milling machine
The last thing that you must do is to approach a trunk with a milling machine (fsi ST 65 T) attached to a tractor and get rid of it. A new tree will grow there after about an hour. However, if you don't want it to grow there you should leave that trunk (e.g. when a tree can be a hindrance during your work on a field).
