I just started a new world is it better to buy the scorpion King or the stepa
-
Correction, with the tellahandler it is possible to pick up those small logs with it, but its ALSO a pain in the ass, so either way I agree with the front loader
-
if you are doing logging to quickly make money i suggest this:
(it will only work on easy and on consoles, however i don't know about pc)
sell everything immediately then bye the ponnse scorpion king and go to the mill and place a fir tree then cut it down and bring it over to the mill pond and cut it $16,000 a piece.
i suggest planting the trees farther back first so the stumps don't mess every thing up
also make sure your straight with the tree or it will fall on the train tracks and glitch out
you'll get the hang of it ;) -
Cheapest way is actually:
one of the default tracters you get when you start + FHL 13 AK + chainsaw. You don't need anything else. -
what map is this?

Step 1: Buy a Scorpion King
Step 2: Go to nearest logging pond
Step 3: Buy and place bunch of "FIR" trees as near as possible to the pond (you can find fir trees under the section placeables. they are 7k per tree and they are huuuuuge.)
Step 4: Cut a tree and take it over the pond, cut to the logs of 8 meters. The logs will fall straight into the pond and therefore you get the money.
Step 5: Repeat step 4 until you are out of trees.
Step 6 When you are out of trees, go back to step 4.
Notes: I tried cutting the logs in 5 meter lengths and also 1 meter lengths. Piece of advice: dont cut them in 1 meter lengths. It gives you les money and also it is really time consuming. 8 meter gives you more money and requires less time. Now to the economics: a tree costs you 7k. Let's say you bought 10 trees. You are -70k on money. A tree that's cut in 8 meter lengths makes 28k in normal difficulty. When you've cut all of the trees you have 280k. Minus 70k and 210k is your profit right? No. You can sell the tree stumps for 3.5k each. So 245k is your final profit. By the way, cutting 10 trees takes aproximately 6-8 minutes depending on how well you you use the Scorpion King. I've made huge amounts of money this way. But the thing is, it gets freaking boring after 100 trees or so. Personally I find it more pleasing to feed my 500 cows.
P.S. English is not my mother tongue so there might be some errors in my spelling, grammar, etc. so, sorry about those in advance. -
the way I started of logging was with a chainsaw and pushing logs into the lake with an agrostar starting tractor (bjornholm)

this really help me with my game

With the big log trailer, I usually just drive my truck right into the water to sell everything

Hey Arthur.... two questions.
1. How long do you figure it takes before a sapling is fully mature and ready to be harvested again? I've noticed some of the pine trees on the map are HUGE and can be cut into 3 full size 14m logs with a tip left over to chip up for scrap. I've planted around 750 saplings where I clear cut my map in the beginning to give my farm it's initial boost of funds. It's been around 20 game days and after cutting a few down I really only get 1 full size 14m log with another 14m toothpick that is really only good for chips. Any guesses?
2. I've downloaded some mod equipment and trucks from that site you introduced me to and the truck that I have added seems to always be hitting phantom objects for what seems to be no reason at all. I'll be driving down the paved highway at speed and all of a sudden it acts like it hit a boulder in the middle of the road, jump in the air and come to an abrupt stop. Absolutely nothing there.... just some phantom object. It happens all the time with this mod truck and also one other mod trailer that I added? Is there a reason this happens?
Thank you sir. Talk to you soon :) -
Realy good video!

you can better on the back side of your orange truck do a weight
-
What gets you more money for the logs. The pond or the train
-
You can also load the chipper with the Scorpion and jump to the tractor and move it back and forth with the feet down to control rolling. Only works with pine trees, but way easy to make money fast

Wow, I just got this game today and I have to say, this tutorial is super helpful! I went from $11,000 after selling everything and buying basic lumber equipment to $285,000 in one truck load just in the hour I watched the tutorial! You have def earned my subscription and my thanks. Before watching this I was lost as to how I could possibly make any money to get started. Thanks again!!
