I really like ur Vids because every other youtube is so worried about videos being perfect but u just make the video and it's more like a natural video if that makes sense. Great videos Arthur

I found you almost yesterday and it was more of a joke than anything cause I was bored but after watching your noob guide and starting a farm guide ive been hooked on playing this game and in all honesty you inspire me. The fact you're a single dad with 6 kids just wows me and really keeps me motivated. I would love nothing more than to see a picture of your family you are a genuine guy who is really good at making videos and I have a simple sense of humor so i always find myself laughing over your video even if it wasn't your main goal. I wish you the best with your career and your family and thank you for doing what you're passionate about it really opened my eyes.

I’m soooo happy you still make these videos!!!! I remember watching farming simulator 2015 a loooong time ago and I got it because of you! I found it recently and started playing again! So I looked you up and was disappointed that you didn’t have more subscribers because I genuinely enjoy your content because it is so honest and you don’t get mad at the kids when they interrupt. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that you deserve much more than around 35k subs! I’ll start to watch your videos regularly again to help support your channel! Please don’t stop these videos!!!!

I don't care what anyone says Arthur, I think you are a fantastic parent who is incredibly patient especially given the fact that you have so many little ones running around. You still find the time and energy to put out some great content that is both informative and fun to watch. Thank you for all you do

Thank you so much for posting this video! I've just started playing '17 on my Switch, and your videos have been suuuper helpful. I actually used to play FS '15 on my PS3; and, incidentally, your channel played an enormous part in making that game so enjoyable. Thus, once, I saw '17 on sale in the Nintendo Switch online store, the first thing I did was hop on here to make sure that you had videos about this specific version. Anywho, this is the 2nd FarmSim game that you have helped me with, and I am genuinely grateful. When I think about the time and energy that went into researching, filming, and editing (etc.) just one of these guides, it boggles my mind! 🤯 But, seriously, thank you for creating and posting all of these, and please take care. 🤙

Dear Arthur,In this video you asked if the JCB tree cutter shown at 11:00 was realistic. The truth is partly. I my self have seen our bobcats bigger than the semi pulling them and the implement shown in the video about shoulder height on me. I am 6:7. Therefore the tree you picked up that didn't flip you would be about 10 metres so yes it would be realistic on the big bobcats but no on the smaller bobcats. But on that same matter tracks are better than tires because tracks have more grip and more surface area on the ground. I went down to the shed and our tracks on the big boys are end to end 1.7 metres and the tires tread to tread are 1.3metres I know that there's measurements may be different but these are based off of where I work. I went to my boss and asked him if I could check out what I've written so far and got permission to go down to the field. I tested my theory and the tracks could hold up to 16 metre straights as used in fs17. But the wheels (um didn't end well had to pay $3000 in damage to the machinery) could only hold 13.3 metres and flipped front ways at 14 metres. So in conclusion you used a tracked JCB so this is completely possible in your current questioned scenario.Kind Lenghty regards, Jason

Your videos are so easy to watch. You seem super chilled out, even with all of your kids haha. Keep it up dude!

This how an experienced youtuber looks like. Good job man, you are not getting distracted easily. And you really covered everything. Subscribed.

Thank you so much for this. Logging has been so frustrating and this tutorial was amazing for helping me figure out a more efficient way to log!

When removing the branches from the tree, looking downward and crouching gives the best result. In FS15 I really liked the Steindl-Palfinger cause it was compatible with the Pickup Truck (for no apparent reason). So I would just load almost full trees, hold them with the arm and just drive with the pickup to the pond where you sell them whole.

I got this game one day ago and your videos tell you more than the tutorial, also your really calm in your videos. This channel is great. 👍

Great video Arthur! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on logging in FS19. Ive been looking for some good toutorials on this topic and this helped me alot. 👍😀

I have a little cautionary story for anyone into logging. I hope i can look back and laugh later, if I survive it. I'll call it "Trees are destroying the world, part 1" There's a little patch of grass behind your main parking lot at the Golcrest farm. I figured it would be a good place to run back and forth with the sapling planter for a couple hours and put about 500 trees right there nice and handy. When the trees were nearing full growth, I started noticing a little choppyness in the screen when I drove by them. Figuring it was the animation of hundreds of tightly packed and overlapping trees blowing back and forth (which looks pretty cool), I decided not to wait for full growth and get them out of there. Started with the scorpion, but with the lag seemingly getting worse every few minutes, it was too low a framerate to truly enjoy. So i grabbed my McCullough and started laying them down by hand. Dozens of them, maybe a hundred. Now I have superlag and a jumble of huge logs and stumps. You can't even bring a vehicle near the place, or it slows to one frame per 5 seconds and wants to lock up real bad. So here I am, chainsaw in hand, putting no less than 8 or 10 cuts in each log and walking them out the quagmire by hand one by one for a couple hours a day for a week now. It's an absolute mess, with a loader and a skid I tried to ram through there, stuck in what would be one heck of a historic bonfire. If I get out of this mess alive and save my world from crawling to a halt, I'll be sure to let you know. Sincerely, one terrified feller trying to save the world.

The tree hugger on the skid steer is perfect for harvesting fields of Christmas trees in real life. Especially ones that have been infested with brambles.

Great tutorial and gameplay. I liked the recommended equipment at the beginning.

really like your videos. not annoying or cussing like many others do, good voicing to listen to and informative. keep up the great work :)

This is great thank you. Farming sim 17 is my first farming sim. Logging was the most fun for me but I wasnt sure how to make a lot of money with it.

When using the front loader to load logs, get the silage leveler that you can put on the front loader. It works great for pushing and piling logs evenly to pick up a big bunch at once.

You are my favorite FS17 KZfaqr ever

You help me out a lot Arthur! Thanks buddy!

Thank you for all you videos and a big thankyou as you gave my a idea for starting out logging all you need is the chainsaw and the starter van

I absolutely love your videos but im sad that fs17 "died" because its the newest Farming sim part that my crappy office laptop can run And im impressed that you are STILL pumping out videos to this day

thank you for keeping in mind consoles man not many people do that and it’s very kind of you and smart

Life logger of 7 years - yeah that's how saw heads work . I've pulled the cutter man out of a rolled tractor a many of times

Helped a lot with tree falling- has to be leveled! And Kramer was a big discovery! I'm on fs19 btw... Thank you!

Couldn't agree more on that trailer with the crane, thank goodness I leased it first because I ended up cutting the logs small enough that I chuck them into it myself. No going back from the ITRunner. Mudrunners isn't too bad because you only need to load 2, 3, or 4 logs (depending on trailer size) to get a full load.

liking your videos kinda glad you told us that wood chipping is in the next video. because thats what im doing at the moment. thankyou.

I was here at 1k subs and now at 20k subs I'm amazed your channel has grown keep it up Arthur

Appreciate your videos Arthur, very informative for those of us just starting out with farming simulator thinking about logging. I can tell you are getting a little exasperated with your kids coming in when you were trying to do this, might want to try laying down the law which means no means no! Allocate the time for computer use and since you are recording allow no interruptions. I know what my dad would've done, the belt would've been unbuckled and briskly pulled out of the loops! That was usually enough for me when I was a kid and judging from the sound of your voice you are a relatively young man not an old fart like me.

The tree hugger has that little nub that moves, i recommend moving that before trying to hug, or some could get it to work without touching it. Just how you position it

I prefer using the pickup to start if you have it. It has straps, gets to and from the mill quickly. You can even overload it if you use the roof to balance, but be careful of the turns!

May be worth mentioning there is a way of sawing the branches off of a tree that's easier than the one used throughout the video and guarantees 100% if you do it right - turn the chainsaw so it's horizontal and line it up with the trunk. Holding down CTRL to crouch, move left/right along the trunk all the way to the end with the chainsaw on. Very easy and quick!

I am a logger and while the cutters we use are larger and handle up to 4 or 5 full sized pines at a time yes they do get carted around short distances by the cutter. Btw you start the blade and close the jaws as you "hit" the tree.

I use the Case Puma because it is the biggest tractor that can equip a front loader. I put the heaviest weight on the rear and I can pick some huge trees up without tipping over. I use the big semi trailer and dolly so I don't have to cut the trees short. I let them overhang the trailer as long as they don't drag on the ground. To unload, I unfasten the tension belts, detatch the tractor from the dolly, and ram the side of it with the forks up to tip it over. All the logs unload at once. It's a pretty inexpensive and quick way to make some money. Also, the Puma has a top speed of 32 and is a decent tractor to sow fields so it's a multipurpose tractor. It won't take too long to earn back the money spent. I haven't tried the Scorpion King. I will do that eventually.

Great video, when I saw fs17 on steam I thought it was a joke but woah turns out it’s an awww game ! Thanks for the awesome content too

J.C.B Has a factory here in N.C. its really nice. Great videos man. One I can just watch and enjoy. Cool

Oh I feel so stupid now! I've been wanting to add some more fields on my farm and to do that, cut down some trees. Activating chainsaw and cutting them was easy but then to grab the logs.. oh my. They're so long! Anyways, I struggled with log fork and some other log loading wagon machine but it was hell really. Looked around for something that would chop the tree but couldnt find. Of course A) it's easier to deal with the tree if you take off the branches .. duuuh, and B) you can just split them with the chainsaw.. :P THANK YOU! Now i'll probably end up wasting an hour of valuable farming on your video because it's interesting but just in minute 5, relieeef! :D

I live all the inturuptions😂👍🏻 nice vid

26:23 thanks man. It's a nightmare for me to picking up the log with tractor. Finally found the right way

A little tip for loading the ITR-woodcontainer with tractor and front loader: Don't cut the tree first. Take it and lift it into the container so that it touches the containers front side and then before letting it fall in cut the overstanding exactly at the end of the container. So you don't have to guess the length. ;)

Helped alot, subbed

How do you actuate the arm to open, on a log arm attachment for a tractor ?

once again great video

Just as he said the manitou was the worst a manitou ad appeared. Great video btw

11:06 I’ve only just started playing myself but the immediate use that comes to mind would be if you’re playing with a few others, clearing a piece of land and you’re moving trees to the team to clean, cut and load up for transport. I’m sure there are easier ways to do this though.

Arthur, it is nice that as old as this video is, you still read and respond to comments and questions! Do you have a play thru or similar for any of the FS17 maps where you do mostly or entirely logging? Thanks.

Up North, there is a tree processor that cuts the tree down, processes it right then, then you load your processed logs onto the back of the machine, then you take it to the landing to be loaded onto the trailer.

Hey ur an awesome guy...keep up the vids pls..

The cheapest method is the pickup truck and the chainsaw. Cut the tree so that the tree falls into the bed. Use the tension straps.

Great video thank My friends

9:58 Great Tree suplex execution 😂😂😂

You are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's way easy to operate this cranes with a fly stick like Logitech Freedom or something similar

Awesome video! I learn much from your videos!! Thx. Quick question.. Does the scorpion cut the biggest trees as well?

You're in Cleveland? Cool, I was living there a couple years ago. I'm a country boy though, moved out after 2 years lol. In port Clinton for the moment, but I think I'm gonna have to drive to Cleveland to work. That's the one great thing I like about Cleveland, there's money to be made

Kid was amazed 😂😂

the cool thing about the equipment in farm simulator they usually use the correct brand and model for the equipment so you can look the real counterparts of the game. so if you think something isn't realistic it's only a keyboard away.

Great vid!! I'm a lumberjack oh yes I am!!

Just got FS17 last night for my xbox one. Great video and got a sub and thumbs us from me helpping me out loads :)

It's called three point linkage for the arms to hold implements on the back, the yellow thing you see appear is called a P T O. Power take off.

I found a log grab with strapps and it makes the process so much faster.

Around the ~8 minute mark: "Woah!!!" samee

Hey bud, don't the jbc have a boom extend like the logging thing has

Good video sir

agree on frontloaders vs crane trailers, however to take the slow 230k crane unit faster use a low loader?

I Have Been Trying For 5 Hrs To Pick Up Logs And Every Time I Buy A Log Loadeder It Doesnt Work Excatly What Model Do U Have Attacthed To The Tractor Can U Reply With The Exzcat Model Of All The Equipment U R Using

Hey Arthur, I just got farming sim 17, what do you recommend I start out with? Such as logging mining, etc. By the way, I enjoy your videos a lot, I also learn a lot too.

I was subscriber number 45 000 yesterday

Do the logs stay in the trailer well? I have hated logging since 15, and I really want to like it. I can't grab logs for anything with the claws. I've been cutting them small and loading them in the cheap lizard truck. If you strap them in and go slow the logs are like cement on the truck and don't fall out. Even when I rolled the truck cutting a corner to quick. Great for clearing ornery trees in the way.

Man love the video like the kiddos bombing your video way better that way lol

That Stepa FHL 13 AK, I think maybe it's supposed to be used a bit differently? I tried it out, and was able to use it semi efficiently (given I'm fairly newb at the game and even more newb with an xbox controller; trying to *not* use keyboard and mouse for once :P). * Cut down a tree and clean it off, but *don't* cut it into pieces * Back the trailer so it points toward the bottom of the tree * Then extend the arm as far as you can, grab the end of the tree, and then drag the tree onto the trailer * Release, extend, and keep pulling until the tree touches the end of the trailer (usually just takes two pulls) * When it touches the end, release, extend fully and grab onto the tree again * Then jump off, split the tree *behind* the hook, so that the loose part will fall down into your trailer, and the hook still holds the rest of the tree * Then jump back in, pull the rest of the tree back into the trailer, rinse and repeat until the whole tree is in your trailer What put me unto this idea, was that I discovered the trailer has a feature of sort of turning the whole trailer to align better with a tree (LB + RB + L-horizontal-axis on my controller). Looks like it has an axis on the thing that connects to the tractor which rotates and then skews the trailer "angle". That explanation turned out rather wordy... but hope it made sense. 🤔 Process is quite easy actually, and think it can be quite efficient too, just need to practice the grabbing skills a bit, hehe. The main thing is that you sort of won't have to spend any time loading the trailer afterwards, because you're doing it as you split up the tree. And once the trailer is full, you just go and back it into a lumberyard pond 😎

I just love your video’s and I don’t mind your children either

See I can cut the trees just fine and clean them up. But the log forks do not load like they should. It pushes the logs around instead of sliding under the log to be grabbed and put on a trailer

That one loader is for transporting logs when your Simi truck is back on the main road a far way from where your cutting. It's not ment as a main transport. Each machine has a different purpose for where your harvesting. How thick and dence the forest to how steep the hills are to giant rocks.

Auto load buffalo and auto load log trailer is a MUST!

Thank you very much..Challenger 77 is right, you make great vids.

Wow, more than one video? Who would have thought that getting wood was such a lenghtly process.

Maybe an old video but it still helps and I am still playing this on my Switch❤

51:36 the reason why the rest weren't selling is because the tension belt was still holding the logs in place

I just got the game for the logging and I really loved the video it was really fun to watch. Does the platinum edition with the Big BUD package ad something new to the logging operations?

I work in a sawmill and i load logs for the mill. We use a front loader with just 6' long pallet forks. I can load logs up to 35' with just the forks. Its soooo much easier in real life!

Thx

Can someone tell me where I start my log farm I only have 2 choices either goldcrest valley or sosnovka

Just started logging couple days ago got a telehander loading full trees into a trailer and a dolly leading to my truck to pull 3026$ a tree some corners hard to turn but making it works about 55,000 a load

I've just started playing easy mode and I went the growing grass, round baleing then wrapping the bales. Each one sells for 5,800 dollars. But I'm tired of doing the same thing over and over. Maybe this would be a nice change. Thanks for sharing.

Logging is still my lest favourite part of the FS series hopefully it's better in the next one

Not a logger, but the skid steerers are extremely powerful IRL. they have a low center of gravity and hold all their weight low while having a lot of power for their size. Seems possible for a small tree to be held.

I know I'm years late to the party. But what is the trailer that can lower onto the floor? Is it a mod? I can't seem to find it in the store

Thank you

That is a feller buncher on a skid steer, lol... Those are normally on an excavator chassis...

JCB wheal loader is ment to unload the semi's, regular tractor with fl attacher is ment to load the semi log trailer chippers chip to a semi with grain trailers, also that green tree cutter does raise. and enjoy logging. and you are talking about a buck saw whare you put a tree on a trailor and it will cut at sertain lengths

Arthur, IRL, the buffalo is a "forwarder" used to transport logs from the harvest area to a collection area (a "yard"), where the big loader would unload the buffalo on to a stack or a semi, that would haul the logs to a mill. i think the buffalo is useful only with a multiplayer game, if i'm going to log alone, i just get a semi with a modded trailer that has a grabber arm and just go bananas with a chainsaw or the scorpion. vid of the ponsse buffalo in action IRL: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqpnZ9SA1q3GeJc.html

Thx meng

At 15:53 you said you didnt get tracks for the scorpion are the treds better than wheels

The black log fork that goes to the jcb is a manure fork

Greetings from an x dairy farmer from Norway! Just subbed to your channel and wanted to thank you for the entertainment. Keep up the good work! *Edit I've watched all (yes all) your tutorials (for entertainment purposes with my family) and one thing that you could/should do is say which button you press. Like in the beginning of this video you use the chainsaw but neglect to mention how to activate it etc. (just a friendly tip).

That tree was to thicc

What you were cut with the Bob cat was a fellow buncher there used with back hoes it attached to back hoes for cutting trees swamp loggers use the and in the swamp that cut the trees and piel them up and make a road to drive on so that don't sink in the swamp then after all logs are cut that start from the back with the loader and bring them out

Man do you have some sort of texture packs installed or something? Looks so much more realistic than my pc

What do you think about a series that your fans would send you their save-s and mods and you would present they farm with them in mp,talk about equipment economy etc. I think thats a good idea. What do you think?
