Why do we make 618 per plot, but our hired help only makes 9 coins per plot? This has to be a mistake. I was sure it would be the new desired crop to harvest.

I have to say I am highly disappointed in the tree shaker. All that FC just for the right to harvest 4 trees at a time? Seriously? This thing was a waste of money, it hardly saves me any clicks and doesnt make me want to harvest my own trees in the least. With a name like "tree shaker", I thought clicking on the tool would harvest up to the 30 whatever trees on the farm. And I'd need to click again to harvest another 30 or whatever. I thought this would be something that helped me make sure I get to those hard to reach/ see trees but I couldnt have been more wrong. I should have used that FC to buy something else.

Rant over.

The trees have to be planted close together - with rows not more than one tree width apart -- kind of crop-style, to be able to harvest larger numbers. I have snagged more than a dozen at a time on my orchard farm, where the trees are crammed in closely. I love the tree shaker -- it saves me oodles of time -- but YMMV.

In order to get the full 32 trees, they would have to be packed into a block of 4 trees left to right, and 8 trees top to bottom, no gaps in either direction

I agree with FarmerMuff, while as some are saying you can have your trees in a specific set-up and the tree shaker will work great. However, if you don't have it set up that way the tree shaker is worthless. This information should have been disclosed before spending that farmcash.

I would love them too but right now, FarmTown will not let me work my factories or save and items in them. Constantly getting a connection times out and this is the only game that does that. Rest of Zynga games are working great for me. Help, what can I do.

It isn't worthless! I have some trees that are set up in rows so the shaker is great for that. But I use it on the farm that I have trees staggered here and there. It is wonderful for getting that second or third tree that is crowded behind the first one. I find it sooooo much easier to harvest all my trees!!

It is always a good idea to read the forum before you purchase a new item.

i kept thinking i am loosing flour and tomatoes and things... but you know what i think i figured out what is going on.. Now that we have the ability to send more into production using that 10+ key. i think we are sending more into production than we did before...... and not watching that we send too many of one item and we go to send another item and oops we are out of flour or sugar or tomato so we are sending so many of one thing and not hitting that key sending only 1 or 10 we are sending hundreds.... does that make any sense to you??? i think that is it really....
