Harvest | Field works Professional Farmer 2014 Guide

When the crops go ripe, perform harvesting.

As soon as your crops are ripe, and with almost all crops, this takes place three rounds (four in the case of corn), you need to harvest your crops. to do that, you need to go to the field with the harvester, lower the harvesting assembly and turn it on. Harvest using the cruise control [2]. If you are going too fast, you will spoil some of the crops quickly. Do not enter the field with the harvester before the crops are ripe. If you start harvests too early, (when it is still "green") you will only spoil them and will gain nothing.

When the grain tank is full, unload it onto a trailer.

As soon as the grain tank is nearly filled to brim, stop the vehicle and extend the grain unloader spout [F]. A trailer will approach. At all times, a tractor and a trailer

While you are harvesting, tractor and trailer should be right next to the field, which you are harvesting, at all times. Unload the grain [V] onto the trailer and keep harvesting. Remember that, if you keep harvesting with your harvester overflowing, the grain will start to spill and you will spoil it. That is why you should always stop and unload the crops onto the trailer.

The crops that you have harvested, can be sold immediately at the collection point. You can also store it in silos and sell somewhere in the future.

It is a good idea to keep the harvesting assemblies as wide as possible - harvesting takes less time then.

Later in the game, you could replace your harvester. with big field, due to small grain tanks, you would have to stop and unload crops often. However, in the case of the harvester, the most important thing is the width of the harvesting assembly - the larger it is, the better. Always buy the widest harvesting assembly available.
