At least we leaked it ourselves this time.

If my memory serves well, you said there will be no other JD combine in the release.
So, I assume it will be a Giants mod or may be a part of a DLC, right?

Your memory serves you right, however, after I announced that, many of you told us they would like one more... so here we are

This really makes me happy
Many people were unhappy about the fact that the only JD Harvester is the T560
And what makes me happy is not the harvester (well it does but that's not what this post is about) but the fact that you heard our criticism and tried to fix that and make us happy by adding another JD Harvester.

So no CR10.90 or Tatra trucks this time?

John Deere make their European Combine’s in Zweibrucken. They make tractors at Mannheim. When the rotarys were first introduced to the UK, they all came from US. JD freed up manufacturing space by stopping production of their Telehandler range in Zweibrucken to facilitate rotary combine production in europe. The T-Series are only built in Zweibrucken

Haha. Sure is.

Maybe a Little 5R John Deere ?

They certainly are slightly different.

Tracks are different, not an issue to change yourself.
Rear light setup on the bars are different.
Auger length and folding option is different.
Wider/ narrow steps are different, US version as now seen from todays visuals are seen are wider by quite a bit to accommodate the usual american wheel setup differences.

Regulations over vehicles in general are quite different in US than the rest of the world.

I noticed there is now a "coming soon" in Lizard again. Maybe another pickup perhaps?

I'm good with it if so. I'll be fine with what's there but I grew up with Ford and loved the fs17 trucks. Or maybe we get a lizard straight dump? That would be cool.
