Tractor
Power unit for mounted, trailed and PTO-driven implements.
What it is used for
Power unit for mounted, trailed and PTO-driven implements.
How to operate it
Choose sufficient horsepower, hitch compatibility, tyre setup and ballast. Attach the implement, connect it, unfold/lower/activate it as required, then work at the implement’s rated speed. Keep the tractor straight at headlands before lifting the tool.
Selection and setup
Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.
Base-game examples
DEUTZ-FAHR 6C RVShift • Fendt 700 Vario • Case IH Steiger Series • John Deere 6M Series • Massey Ferguson MF 7S • Fendt 1000 Vario
Operating procedure
Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.
Before you buy or lease
Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.
Compatibility & attachments
This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.
| Compatible connection / attachment | Used for | Important notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rear 3-point implements | Mount ploughs, cultivators, seeders, planters, fertiliser tools and many grass implements. | Check required horsepower and whether the implement is PTO-driven. |
| Front 3-point / front weight | Carry a front weight or compatible front-mounted implement. | Useful for balance when a heavy rear tool is fitted. |
| Front loader frame | Add loader arms for buckets, pallet forks, bale tools and other loader tools. | Only tractors that offer a front-loader attacher configuration can take one; choose the matching loader in the shop. |
| Trailers and trailed machines | Tow crop trailers and trailed machinery. | Check hitch type, power and weight before using very large equipment. |

Procedure
- Choose a tractor whose rated power comfortably meets the attached implement requirement and whose hitch/PTO connections are compatible.
- Fit suitable tyres and ballast for the job; use narrow tyres for crop-care passes when crop destruction is enabled and the tractor supports them.
- Attach the implement squarely, connect any required PTO/hydraulic functions and fill the implement if it carries seed, fertiliser or another material.
- At the field edge, unfold/prepare the implement before beginning the pass; lower and activate the implement only when aligned.
- Work at or below the implement rated speed. If wheel slip or engine load prevents that speed, reduce working width/load or use a more powerful/heavier tractor.
- Lift/stop the implement before a tight headland turn, line up the next pass with a small overlap, then lower/activate again.

Alternative options
Small tractors: light field work, yard, vineyards and loader jobs.
Medium tractors: general mixed-farm work.
Large tractors: wide heavy cultivation, drilling and large trailers.
Practical tips
- Too little power causes poor speed on slopes; too little front/rear ballast can make steering or traction unstable.
- Operate at the tool’s rated working speed and allow space at headlands for clean turns.
