Universal Loading Unit

Requirements

This guide does not need any additional mods. However it requires the Platinum dlc, due to the excavator Volvo used in it.

In case you don't have the Platinum it can be replaced with some of the excavators sets available in the Farming Simulator Mod Hub[www.farming-simulator.com]

There search in the category "Forestry equipment" for

Assembly The Unit

This unit consist from three components, that in case you don't have yet, must be purchased:

Truck

Trailer (low loader)

Excavator equipped with log clamps

It depends entirely on your choice and budget. In this case I am using the old Mack, day cab modification. I like the truck itself and also the rear big window helps me a lot when maneuvering

Again it depends on personal choice and budget, but also another factor should be considered - the length. When excavator is loaded, it's arm should be lowered as much as possible due to the height of the whole composition. This will lead to increased length of the arm and if low loader is not long enough it might disturb a bit the movement of the composition in the turns

In case you use the Platinum dlc, there are two options, according to my opinion - the bigger the better

When all the components are available, assemble the composition. Attach the trailer to the truck and lower the ramp

Get in the excavator and bring it up on the trailer. Don't worry that the crawlers will stick out - just make sure that the left crawler is overlapping a bit with the trailer's edge - this will ensure enough space for the right crawler as well

When excavator is on the top, position it closer to the middle of the trailer. If not sure how much should it be, lower the arm and extend it. If positioned well, the log clamp will stick out a bit from the front part of the trailer. After you are satisfied with the position, get down and lock at least three tightening belts below the crawlers. Now even if you try to move the excavator's crawlers it will move slightly and will be back immediately

And now you ULU is ready to go

Loading Everything

The ULU can load literally everything. You will need just some time to understand which is the best position regarding the load and the place where is should go. Afterwards every task will be piece of cake accompanied with a lot of fun

There are few examples:

Wool

Sugar

Even eggs...

Straw, Hay, Silage

Cotton

The Benefits

There are few benefits using the ULU, at least for me:

Saving time - not all of the production building are next to each other and at some moment a lot of travelling here and there is needed. Together with all of the other ongoing activities this can be quite demanding, especially if playing mostly solo. What I am doing is to push the ready-to-go pallets from the loading area to ensure that the production process will not be disturbed - this is valid for the animal production. After when the price of the current product is high enough, I am bringing a suitable trailer, loading all the production and selling it right away

Additional gaming experience - repeating a lot of cycle processes can start to be pretty boring at some time and ULU is what is preventing you to get bored. While driving from one place to another can gives you the nice feeling that for a moment you are jumping to the one of the Truck Simulators.

When the truck is positioned and you jump inside the cabin of the excavator, for some period of time you are transferring yourself in the part of the Construction Simulator.

Not mentioning that with every next pallet loaded, you are going to master the joysticks and when you will need to use the log clamps for... logs - you will be prepared
