Weights can help solve both of these problems. Conversely, with an Implement on the front, or a Front Loading Arm lifting heavy cargo high off the ground, the tractor can flip forwards or sideways. A heavy trailer adds stress on the Tractor's rear wheels, causing its front wheels to lift up in the air whenever it tries to accelerate.

Extra weight reduces the Tractor's acceleration, but makes it more stable - less likely to flip over or behave strangely when driving.Īny weight you attach to your Tractor moves the center-of-mass either forward or backward, depending where that weight is located. This game has massively improved since the last version, kudos to the devs for addressing all these issues.The purpose of a Weight is to counter-balance your Tractor when carrying or towing heavy cargo or machinery. I did this in my hard difficulty start because I was too poor to buy a real front loader for moving pallets of pig food. Just drive into the mechanic area next to the shop (where you sell vehicles.) It costs a little money to fit one though. The shop section explains what the icons all mean.įYI many of the tractors don't say 'has a front loading attachment' but can still be outfitted with one using the customize feature. If you want to know what the icons mean then please go to escape and across to help menu. The bigger / more expensive the heavier the weight. About compatibility, and required horsepower. The little icons in the shop when you select an object give you all the statistics and info you need to know. It would save an extra trip from the field and again excess hp would be useful for the extra weight. Sounds dumb but I wonder if you can fit say a cultivator, fold it and put it on the front of the tractor. A smaller tractor obviously can't do this. You can also chain trailers together so you can pull two. It is well worth buying more hp tractors than you strictly need. So you must attach a front weight, which slows them down even more. They lower HP tractors also tend to be lighter and can be unbalanced by heavy loads and implements which affects steering and can sometimes lift the front up into the air so you can't even move. It's true that you can haul the bigger tipper/trailers empty with a crapbucket on wheels but if it's filled with grain it'll be really slow and might not have enough power to get uphill or reach high speed. other then that they can be towed by any tractor regardless of their engine power. you can pull 100tons with 60hp, you wont go very fast but it works.

Pay more attention as soon as you select a differnt engine, you can see how engine power changes in the bottom left.Īs i said any tipper with any tractor.

you can haul the biggest most expensive tipper. HP is the only statistic that concerns you. When you're choosing an engine it shows you the HP in the bottom left. Most definitely does not need an overhaul. The menu system needs a complete overhaul tbh. It doesn't make much sense that you can buy different engines for your tractor but not check it's parameters / statistics to know which blinking trailer you can pull. why is the tedder useless? you can literally attach it with every tractor in the game. if it doesnt have the front loader attachment. if it doesnt have the front pickup you can see it in the picture as it will have a front weight attached by default. appart from some tractors not having a front pickup or the ability to attach a front loader which is all in the shop. thats because they all have the same connectors. you wont find a page that details which tractor has which connectors.
