Forage Harvesters: Farming Simulator 22
A Forage Harvester is a type of vehicle in Farming Simulator 22. The primary purpose of a Forage Harvester is to collect Chaff, but it can also collect other types of materials - all of which a normal Harvester cannot collect. Forage Harvesters are very expensive machines, and should only be bought if you know what you intend to use them for.
In order to do anything, a Forage Harvester must be fitted with a special implement called a Forage Header. Different types of headers can perform completely different jobs on your fields, ranging from production of Chaff; to harvesting Poplars; and even picking up piles of Grass or Hay from the ground.
Unlike normal Harvesters, a Forage Harvester does not have an internal holding tank - It does not accumulate the material it cuts from the field. Instead, it must immediately dump the material into a Tipper or other container, while working. If no such container is present within reach of the Forage Harvester's pipe, the material will be completely lost. This requires either towing a container directly behind the harvester, or using a second vehicle to tow a container next to the harvester as it works.
In Farming Simulator 22, all forage harvesters now support the Provita Supplements BONSILAGE Silage Additive.
