The collecting head of the Loading Wagon must be lowered and activated for this to occur. The Loading Wagon is one of the few tools in the game that can pick up Grass and Straw directly from the field, after they have been left there by Mowers and Harvesters (respectively). They also require quite a bit of power when operating, and will usually need to be connected to powerful tractors for forage duties.
Loading Wagons are pretty heavy in their own right, and even heavier when full with cargo. In addition, the Sheep Pasture, Cow Pasture and Biogas Plant offer special unloading points that are discussed in more detail below. Selling Points exist for both Grass and Straw. Loading Wagons can only be unloaded in specific locations on the map, depending on what cargo it is carrying. Once the material has been collected, the Loading Wagon can be towed to its destination, where it can be unloaded. The Loading Wagon is one of only a handful of devices that can collect these materials. When the Loading Wagon is properly activated, it will collect any such material it passes over. These are the only materials it can carry, and it will not accept other materials at all.Īdditionally, the Loading Wagon has a small collecting head at the front, which is capable of collecting loose Grass or Straw from the field, left behind by a Mower or Harvester (respectively). This box can carry a large amount of Grass, Straw or Chaff. Loading Wagons consist primarily of an open-topped box on wheels.
However, the Loading Wagon has an additional (and very important) advantage: it can collect ("forage") its own cargo directly from the field.
Like the Tipper, the Loading Wagon's primary purpose is to transport large amounts of cargo from one location to another, in bulk. All Loading Wagons in the base game have a working speed limit of 25 km/h, and a working area of 2.5 meters.Ī Loading Wagon is a unique type of Tipper.When empty and deactivated, it can be towed by a much lighter tractor. When the device is operating, it will need more power than stated. Power Requirements are only recommendations.
