In Farming Simulator 25 filling and operating your seeder is critical when it comes to planting crops efficiently. Here’s a simple guide to help you select, fill, and operate a seeder correctly:

Step 1: Choose the Right Seeder

1. Match Seeder Power Requirements: Makes sure that the seeder’s power requirement matches your tractor’s horsepower. For example, if a seeder requires 110 horsepower, make sure your tractor has that power or more.

2. Check Seeder Functions: Seeders in Farming Simulator 25 have different capabilities:

   • Direct Drill Seeders: These allow seeding without prior cultivation. However, direct drilling may lead to faster weed growth.

   • Combination Seeders: Some seeders can cultivate, seed, and fertilize simultaneously. Check the description in the shop for these features.

Step 2: Fill the Seeder with Seed

1. Purchase Seeds: Buy seed pallets at the shop or place a seed silo on your farm through the build menu.

2. Filling Process:

   • Position your tractor with the seeder attached next to a pallet or silo.

   • Open the seed tank (if required), then press the prompt button (usually R or L3) to start filling.

   • Make sure the seeder is fully loaded with seeds before heading to the field.

Tip: Some seeders can also hold fertilizer so be sure to check if yours does to save time by fertilizing as you plant.

Step 3: Set Up and Start Seeding

1. Select Crop Type: Choose the crop you want to plant from the menu. Check the crop calendar if playing with seasonal growth to ensure the timing aligns with the growing season.

2. Head to the Field: Lower the seeder and turn it on to begin planting. If your seeder doesn’t have direct drill capability, ensure the field is already cultivated or plowed.

Step 4: Manage Fertilizer (Optional)

If your seeder also applies fertilizer:

• Make sure to load fertilizer alongside seeds if the seeder supports it.

• Fertilizer helps crops grow faster and produce better yields. You may still need to apply additional fertilizer later.

Final Tips

• Direct Drill Seeders: These are convenient for planting immediately after harvesting without cultivating, though they may cause weeds to grow faster.

• Keep Track of Seed Levels: Refill the seeder when low, especially if working on large fields.

• Experiment with Crop Types: Different seeders support various crops, so check each tool’s crop compatibility in the shop.

Happy farming, friends!
