Your farm might start out as a thriving business, with various crops growing across your fields whilst the profits roll in and the empire grows. Farming Simulator 19 is always ready to ruin your hard work, though, and it does so in the most realistic way possible. As your produce numbers start to soar downwards and your profits begin to diminish, there's only one thing that could be held responsible — weeds.
The pesky, green arch-enemy of any farmer or gardener. This guide will cover everything that you need to know about how to get rid of weeds in Farming Sim 19 so that your farm can stay in business and keep those profits high.
How To Remove Weeds In Farming Simulator 19
If you want to remove weeds, it is vital that you catch the problem early. You can only use a weeder during the first stage of any crop growing. If the crop passes this first stage, the yield will be decreased and you won't be able to do anything until the crops are harvested. If your crops are fully grown and you have just noticed weeds, it is too late. All you can do is take this as a lesson for next time.
To remove weeds, the first thing that you need to do is buy a Weeder. This is a tool that can be attached to a tractor and used to pull weeds out of an otherwise good field.
The cheapest weeder available in Farming Sim 19 costs $18,000, whilst the most expensive will set you back by $45,000. The only difference between these is the length of the weeder. The cheaper one will cover less ground, so it will take you longer to weed an entire field.
If you can't afford any of the weeding tools available, you can also lease one for as long as you need. This means you will pay a small upfront fee, followed by a daily charge until you return the tool.
Once you have the weeder, you need to attach it to your tractor. Before doing this, make sure you have a weight attached to the front of the tractor. If you don't, the tractor will tip backward when you connect the weeder.
To attach a tool to your tractor, simply drive near it until a button prompt appears. When you have the weeder attached, you can use the button prompts in the top-left corner of the screen to unfold it. This will bring the blades down to the ground so that they can rip the weeds out as you drive over your fields.
With everything set up, you can simply drive over your fields to remove any weeds. This will not affect the rest of your crops, so don't worry about destroying any of the produce that you are growing.
