8 Excellent FS22 Silage Trailer Mods

Some Farming Simulator 22 (FS22) trailers aren’t quite like others. They would have their own category if it were up to me: Silage trailers.

You see, trailers in this category won’t just accept anything. They can only be filled with grass, sugarcane, woodchips, straw, silage, hay, and chaff.

That’s why they are great companions for forage harvesters, for example.

Anyhoo… Here are some of the best FS22 silage trailer mods:   

1. Schuitemaker SIWA 240

This is a brilliant silage trailer. It’s the Schuitemaker SIWA 240. The trailer is an older model. Schuitemaker made them somewhere around the beginning of the current millennia.

I like it because it’s reasonably priced. Also, it’s an excellent fit for smaller FS22 farms. Its max capacity is almost 50 m³. Still, it’s not so big that only the most powerful tractors can pull it.

If you’re ready to put up the money, this is what you can choose to pay extra for:

• Increased capacity. The base capacity is 45 m³. With an extension, it is 48 m³.
• Wider wheels from various manufacturers.

The first time I saw a SIWA 240 was in Farming Simulator 13. A lot has changed since then. The FS22 version looks staggering with all its details, like all the cables and hoses.

• Base Price: 50,000.
• Capacity: 45 and 48 m³.
• Max weight: 15.5 tons.
• Modder: [DMI]20mmNormandy.
• Platforms: All.

2. Bergmann HTW 65 Pack

Few FS22 silage trailers looks as good as the Bergmann HTW 65 . If you’ve ever tried 3D modeling, I’m sure you’ll appreciate all the gorgeous details in this trailer.

Just think about how long it must have taken the 3D artist to add all those hoses and cables!

When you visit the shop to buy the trailer, you’ll be presented with some options for extras:

• The fenders and the wheels are configurable.
• You can also buy a cargo cover to prevent chaff from flying off the trailer.

I know, of course, that flying chunks of debris aren’t a thing in FS22. However, if it’s implemented in the future, you can prepare yourself.

This is the semi-trailer version of the Bergmann, btw. It looks darn great behind most trucks in the game.

You can use it with tractors too. The Bergmann comes with a Krampe Dolly, making it a turntable trailer.

• Base Price: 98,000.
• Capacity: 56.4 m³.
• Max weight: 23.9 tons.
• Modder: AgrarModding.
• Platforms: All.

3. Bergmann HTW 45

Here’s the smaller sister of the Bergmann HTW 65 that came with the game. It’s the Bergmann HTW 45.

Yes, the capacity is about 11 m³ lesser. However, it’s also 11,000 cheaper. It’s a great alternative when you can’t afford the larger model.

Also, some FS22 farms are small, with narrow passages and tight turns. Then it’s better to be small and agile than large and unwieldy.

The smaller size also means that the pulling vehicle can be less powerful and thus cheaper.

Admittedly, the shopping options won’t blow you away:

• You can buy cargo covers for the trailer.
• There are also a couple of options for the wheels.

Nonetheless, I think it’s a great mod.  The modder has done a great job downsizing the trailer.

• Base Price: 45,000.
• Capacity: 45 m³.
• Max weight: 21.4 tons.
• Modder: ALs_Agrar_Ole.
• Platforms: All.

4. Krone TX 460 D

Here’s the Krone TX 460 D silage trailer for FS22. This is how I picture its journey to the game.

1. The modder converted the FS19 TX 560 D.
2. He shrank the model.
3. Then, he updated the 3D model and the textures.
4. Finally, he added new sound effects.

No matter how it was brought here, I’m excited to see it in the game. It’s the perfect trailer when you don’t have the money for one of the larger models.

One advantage of using the TX 460 D is the weight if you play with the trailer fill limit activated. It’s so light it almost matches the max capacity of the game’s three-axle trailers.

Inside the shop, the modder has lived by the KISS principle “Keep It Simple Stupid.” There isn’t much to configure:

• You can add covers to the trailer.
• A few wheel options are also available.

I don’t mind the relatively poor selection of configuration options. The mod is fantastic in all the other ways.

• Base Price: 87,000.
• Capacity: 46 m³.
• Max weight: 21 tons.
• Modder: Ls_Agrar_Ole.
• Platforms: All.

5. Krone TX 560 D

Here you have one of the largest trailers of them all in Farming Simulator 22. The Krone TX 560 D silage trailer has a loading capacity of a staggering 56,000 liters. That is if you are not using the game’s max weight feature.

The trailer was part of the FS19 vanilla game lineup but was nowhere to be seen when FS22 launched.

Fortunately, it showed up as a Giants Software mod a couple of months after the release.

The customization options include:

• An option to buy a cover for the trailer.
• Wheels from Vredestein and Michelin.

The trailer makes a majestic appearance in the game. It’s the new sound effects that impress me the most.

6. Claas Cargos 750 and 760

Finally, the Claas Cargos 750 and 760 silage trailers are available for everyone, not only those who bought the FS19 Claas Platinum DLC.

The Cargos duo is perfect trailers. Their FS19 debut marked a shift in how detailed Giants Software’s models are. All original models since then have more details and more realistic looks.

The FS22 Cargos-trailers are no exception. They look darn good. And it gets better. All the added sound effects make for an impressive appearance.

The shop options include wheels from different manufacturers. There’s also an option for license plates.

7. Kaweco Radium 245

Another great trailer for your forage harvests is the Kaweco Radium 245, the little brother of the Radium 255 that already exists in the game.

The loading capacity is “only” 38,500 liters, but everything isn’t about being big. Smaller trailers like this Kaweco is easier to handle, especially where roads and farmyards are small and narrow.

This Kaweco trailer comes with some excellent shop options:

• You can paint parts of the forage box in orange or Claas green.
• There are also color options for the rims.
• Speaking of rims, several wheel options from most FS22 brands are also available.

I’m a massive fan of Schnibbl Modding, who made this trailer. He has reworked several of the tools that came with the game to make unique mods, often different models from the vanilla game versions.

8. Schuitemaker Siwa 720

The Schuitemaker Siwa 720 is another trailer that was in FS19 but not FS22. Until now. The modder Niklge has made sure the large silage trailer gets a second run in the new game.

It still has that rear extension that increases the load capacity by 3,500 liters. Just remember to buy it in the shop.

Now that we’re in the shop, let’s look at what you can customize:

• You can buy the already mentioned extension.
• Wheels are available from most FS22 brands.

I greatly like the Schuitemaker-trailer, especially since it has gotten so many cool sound effects. It’s also great that it has steering on both axles. It makes the trailer relatively easy to operate, even when you hook it up directly to a forage harvester.
