Has anyone messed with the new multifarms in Forestry yet? I can't seem to get the Orchards to work. I've tried using both dirt and humus, but with humus the saplings never grow, and with dirt, the saplings grow into trees but nothing happens after that. The multifarm won't accept energy and no apples get harvested.

The orchard works fine. You plant them on dirt, not humus. The multifarm needs a gearbox block and will accept energy from it. You just replace 1 block that is not in the 3rd rows ring with a gearbox and input energy through that. There is also the hatch for output/input and a valve for water input.
Well it is a manual farm. Once you place the trees and grow them it will harvest apples from it. The trees will stay there undamaged. The initial setup is that all is needed. The orchard should require no inputs but fertilizer and water. Everything else would be set up by you beforehand.
Assuming you are using oak trees, did you put them in a treealyzer for them to become apple trees? Otherwise the machine probably won't recognize them. Once you do then it should start pulling apples from the trees.
Orchards to not harvest trees. Orchards harvest fruit from any tree that has been run through a Treealyzer, assuming that the Treealyzer says it will produce fruit. Orchards do NOT harvest wood or saplings, nor do they even damage the tree.

I posted this is another thread too. Will be great when we can have our recipes back.

I think that there just needs to be forestry fruit-bearing trees within a certain radius (can't recall it right now) and it will harvest.
Also, for anyone who is also wondering how to make a Treealyzer, it is the same recipe as the Beealyzer with copper instead of tin. The wiki page does not have this information, and I had to dig it out of wiki text from the new forestry website.
I hope this helps as much as it helped me!

Orchards don't work in the current version of Forestry packaged with FTB, Sengir fixed it in a later version.

I updated my forestry and am using plenty of power and fertalizer and its going fast. I am getting a ton of apples. The key is treealizing your oak saplings
