New Release -- October 20th, 2009

[Candi Yam]

Ok, I go back to my farm, fuel up the 'big red' to harvest my pineapples, and it just sits there...3 icons come up for me to choose from, I choose big red/4 (when I clicked on the harvester, I already chose Harvest) My pineapples are being harvested by my avatar...Obviously, I have engine trouble. I cannot make my harvester work. Are they just suppose to sit there, take up space and look cool?

(This is from one of my friends which I Love to death and enjoy working for not to mention so many many others......) I want my 30,000 coins :mad back.....

DeeAnn Trisha U Can Hire People From The Market Place, We Just Can't Hire Each Other 2 Do Anything Anymore-Not Even 2 Be @ The Same Farm @ The Same Time-I'm Gonna Really Miss That!! It's Gonna Get Some Getting Use 2-We Can Buy Fuel Though W/Coins Not $$-It'll Be Cool Once We Get The Hang Of This!!

You can still hire your friends to do your harvesting and plowing. This is just another option... especially useful for those who do not have enough neighbors or are not at a high enough level... or for those select few who prefer to do all of the work on their farms themselves.

Bought the Harvester, Seeder and Tractor. I love them. Used both the Harvester and Seeder and still have fuel left over. I think these are a good thing.

Yes, you have to get a lot of xp at level 34.... cuz they dont have level 35 ready yet, lol... My bar was full @ 1 million XP. Still waiting.

You can still choose to have neighbors do the work for you. This is just another option.

While the seeder is great ( I have a very large farm and it has reached the point where planting isn't fun anymore ) not having the harvestors being able to be used by hires is something I'd like to see changed.

[Christopher's Farm 18]

I just wasted 30,000 coins on a harvester & sold it for 900 coins 5min later (as it would take up valuable crop space just sitting there otherwise). I thought it would harvest my crops like a motorized vehicle i.e. it would move and I could sit back and watch. I would rather hire people at my farm.. Also, there is no way anyone with a large farm could use both the harvester & seeder because they would run out of their daily gas limit before ever finishing harvesting.. Very disappointing.. So, I bought a large seeder and it does help to be able to seed 4 at a time vs 1 but my farm is so large (max land & 98% crops) that even with the 750 gallons I was "allowed" I was only able to complete 3/4's seeding of my farm. Again, I had hoped A: that the vehicles moved on their own and B: that one could use both the seeder and harvester with the daily gas allowed. Also, if 2 or 3 friends send you gas you can only use 1 per day... That is ineffective. Very disappointed overall as I was hoping to be inspired to use Farm Town on a daily basis vs every 3 days. I appreciate the game though so for that thank you.
Peace,
-Christopher

How do you become an influential farmer so you can hire others to plow for you??
