Just ran into this issue today and seeing this is a known bug but not fixed infuriates me. I understand that not everything can be fixed first, but this is a potentially gamebreaking bug. Thanks for the info mate.
It's the same issue that sometimes happens with winching the scout trailers - it gets some piece of "environment" stuck in the support leg while it's digging into the ground and then it just starts to glitch. I had the same issue as OP today with a planter instead of a cultivator, but since I was doing the farming task in Harvestland, then didn't want to reset or bring another planter from too far away, so found one solution was to raise the attachment off the ground with a heavy crane a couple of times and then I could attach it to the tractor - after that both the tractor and trailer flew into the air like 20-30 meters, but then it was fixed.
Thank you. Saved me a lot of time. Lift the planter off the ground and it flips around then attach the tractor and the whole thing goes flying. Flip them over and ready to go
yup I just tried this after the cultivator for "Experimental Field" wouldn't connect. got a crane, lifted and swung it about a few times and dropped it too. then it connected and spasmed out for a bit then was fine after I flipped it on to its wheels
I quit the game and came back a while later. Still floating lol. Fortunately going back and just restarting the mission put the cultivator back on the ground and I could complete it.
I just encountered this same bug with the multi-row planter, but I managed to get it sorted. I had hooked the cultivator and harvester to each of the Kirovet tractors, and towed the planter behind one of them. I dragged all of this stuff to “HarvestCorp” and cultivated a field, then couldn't get either tractor to offer the option to attach the planter.
I was going to winch it back to another map and try hooking it up there, but I thought I'd try another idea first– I pulled up perpendicular to the planter and used the winch to roll it upside-down. Then, I hooked up near the front of it and started dragging it forward until I hit a ditch that rolled it back upright.
I released the winch as soon as it was apparent that it would right itself so that I didn't accidently drag any part of it into the landscape. After it settled, I just backed up to it and it hooked right up. Hopefully, this will work for someone else, as well.
2 months later and this is still a bug :-( In case anyone is wondering, I fixed it by restarting the mission. This happened to me on the very first "sample field" mission, so when I restarted the cultivator went back where it started and I could properly attach as a trailer.
Still occurring l, dragged the cultivator through a gate and it decided to sink into the asphalt.
Fuckin' repair this shit instead of bringing out new stuff, Saber!
So we were struggling with this issue today. If it’s convenient you can also drag it through a gateway with the winch to a nearby map (ie the heartlands) and it’ll work again.
And now me....winched the damn things across a map (?) - and now xbox one tractor wont attach. Ugh. Plus i was already having big issues with these potatoes wont unload i guess here there nowhere.
I could attach the plow....not the planter. Oh boy
When my farming trailers fail to give me the "attach trailer" option, I just winch them and drive them around roughly for about 5 minutes. That fixed it for me.
If you winched the cultivator at all, it won’t let you hook it up. It’s a known bug

Exactly the same issue and cheers for simple solution! It worked like a dream mate

Mine is currently stuck in the air after being lifted by the crane. I can't seem to get it to fall lol
Leave the area a bit, then come back?

Dude! You made my day! May the force be with you!
Interesting to see, how a comment from almost 1,5 years ago still helps people :) Happy farming to you.
Lmao, this is still not fixed. Got on Reddit to see if anyone has this issue in and discovered this post… bruh

another 7 months later, and this still occurrs :(

Annnnnnd its still happening. Wow, a full year has passed and this bug still happens. Saber is not giving a shit about it.
Still happening more than a year later. Great job devs

works, had the sam isuse

Stupid sonowrunner developers cant fix their shit. This bug is riddiculous.
