So therefore it just sits there doing nothing. I now contemplate buying the 4x4 harvester..will that work on other farms or is it also just for my farm?

The 4x4 will work on other farms, that is the one I have and it does work on other farms.

Really....My neighbors have been dropping like flies....

Carolannb:

I agree it would be cool if we can gift our old tools. Here is the problem when you start buying cash tools it like a project in process. Here an example when you own a 5 x 5 harvest plow sow tool you need to own 3 4 x 4 tools the harvest plow and seeder and the same 3 tools in the 5 x 5 plus the 5 x 5 harvest plow tool. That requirement alone makes it impossible to gift the other tools. If you sell one of the required tools the main tool will not work.

You can sell the previous tools, the main tool will still work... however i would advise strongly against doing so.... if you sold the previous tools, and you accidentally delete ithe main tool (which is known to happen) you will no longer have those previous tools in order to repurchase the main tool.

i would never get rid of my tools..i still use the smaller ones on occasion..for smaller jobs..for example..i use the 4x4 for my quests as i don't need a big field to plant for them...

My green mobile sprinkler doesn't work - it waters, but doesn't reduce the harvest time? Yes, I cleared my cache and all.

Did you already use it on the crops/flowers/trees the day before? It will only shorten the time once. If this is the second time then no it won't shorten the time more than that.

This is for crops I just planted - so they should either have their harvest time cut in 1/2 if I need to water, or if the farm is already watered with the green sprinkler. I planted sugarcane this am, watered, and it's taking 12 hrs to mature.

Just one misconception. If the farm is already watered less than 20 hours before, the newly planted crop will not have its harvest time shortened.
However if it let you water after planing the sugarcane then yes it should show that it is ready in 6 hours. Did you try clearing your cache, closing your browser and then reopen and see if it shows the shorter time.

I know this sounds really strange, but could I get a list of the tools I have purchased today ?? 5/26/2012 I also upgraded farm 9 &12 to 26x26. I thought I bought a green flower harvester, but I don't have it. Also my amounts do not balance.. I had 3 cash and I bought 250...Please help me, I am lost. Thanks bushels
