FS18: Tractors, harvesters and carriers

In the game you can purchase 14 tractors, which are used for various tasks on your farm. They have three indicators: power (horsepower), the maximum speed and the front loader. Power is a parameter that determines how decrease the speed of the tractor after joining equipment. Wagon loader and a large cultivator require particularly high power. For optimum performance of most machines you need about 200 horsepower.

In the beginning of the game it is best to buy a tractor JCB Fastrac 3230 XTRA. In this version of the game you can attach equipment at the front, so your only choice is to decide whether you want a tractor with or without front loader. It only has two functions (after buying a fairly cheap investment): loading bales on the trailer – you can not use this function, buying self-loading wagon for bales; and the collection and loading of logs, this function can also replace another vehicle, Ponse Buffalo. So you don’t need to pay much attention to trucks, but instead buy a more powerful tractor.

Harvesters

Harvesters. They are used for harvest. There are four models available, which have different speed, width, front mounting, power, and capacity.

They are used for harvest. There are four models available, which have different speed, width, front mounting, power, and capacity. Each of them will need to buy separate equipment. The purchase of new models required during the expansion of your farm. The default is three fields. Because harvesters are slow, it is better to carry them on special transport to the fields that are located far away. Remember that for transport of the trailer requires the tow vehicle. To unload the combine, you need to drive the truck with his left hand, the lever will move automatically and if your position is correct, then the processor will begin unloading. If you do not unload it, you will not be able to collect other crops.

A special harvester for potatoes and sugar beet

Please note that you can attach the cars to the harvesters. There are also two independent harvesters: for sugar beet and potatoes. They should be attached to the harvester or tractor, and only after that you can use them.

Combine harvesters

In this category you can find equipment for combine harvesters. Please note that each machine has two such devices: one for wheat and rapeseed, and the second to receive maize and sunflower. In this version of the game you can freely move them, using any machine.

Forage harvester

It has only one function – getting chaff (broken rice) from corn, and it’s the only way to get it. Chaff not very profitable, but you can put it in a biogas plant and to obtain fertilizer.

To combine fully working, you need to attach to the back of the open trailer, it’s a little slow down of the machine. In order not to lose speed, it is better to be near the harvester, a separate tractor with a trailer to collect.

Carriers

For transportation, there are three cars, one truck and two tractors. Their only goal is to move wagons and cars on the map. In the beginning of the game you should buy a pickup truck. When you hook the trailer to it, it will lose speed (45 km/h), but it can quickly get to your chosen places are empty. Be careful when buying a tractor, they have gaps that allow you to attach only three types of vehicles: semi-trailer (trailer transport), the trailer and the big truck.
