Tech tanker mod | thank you

[Kamoore65536]

The only problem with this mod is in real life it would be illegal on any road in the United States.40,000l of water weighs 89,811 pounds. 60,000l of water weighs 134,725 pounds. Since the maximum weight you can carry on 3 axles in the configuration of these tanks is 48,000 pounds and the maximum you could carry legally on most Federal highways is 80,000 pounds without a special permit you would be running around with the 40,000l tank half full.

To add to this, the average weight of a tank trailer that can haul fuel and water weighs about 10,000 pounds empty and the tractor that pulls it weighs about15,000 pounds empty you are limited to 9,000 gallons of water. As water weighs 8.37 pounds to the gallon and most liquid fertilizers are heavier than water the legal liquid amounts would be less. This is in the United States on federal highways. State highways in the Western United States have different weight laws for agricultural vehicles, but I think those laws are determined by length and number of axles on the ground. As I don't know the legal weight limits on European highways I can't comment on them.

Wow, i came here to thank the modder, being i been wanting this for awhile, and seems someone beat me to it. Thanks again. The next game has so many possibilities.

Lets say you can have missions at gas stations, to deliver fuel to the station on the other side of town for money using these tankers. And with the new excavators, maybe digging something up as a mission. You may want to take a break from farming, and get into trucking and construction/demolition. It can be all those games rolled up into one going this route. Well done.

It`s a little offtopic, but we are still talking about farming simulator. For transport or digging missions it`s the wrong game. For such kind of missions you have construction simulator or european truck simulator for example.
I hope that farming simulator will stay a farming simulator...

This is stubborn somehow, if i translated it right..

He never said, cut this out to use that Idea.
So it will still be your Game, just with a wider offer..
Aslong it takes small Effort and Ressources to code that and didnt break the whole FS-Goal, why not?
I never get this Opinion...

I would say alot of Players play FS because of the Freedom of Creativity & Entertainment.
And at the End he pays Money into the Game, which we all benefit from, in one or another Way through Giants etc.

Is there anyway to use this tanker to refill a smaller tanker such as the stock Aquatrans 3700S? When I pull the tech tanker next to the aqua trans I cannot fill it up. Trying to fill the aqua trans off the tech tanker does not work either.

Did you tried using the End of the Tech Tanker next to Target?

I think so. Do you mean back the tech tanker up to the empty water tank trailer? The overload pipe did not give a trigger. The back of the trailer did the same thing, no trigger. Pulling the Aquatrans up to the tech tanker also did no produce triggers to refill.

Do they use 2,000 pounds as a ton or 2,200 pounds? In the States 46 tons is 92,000 pounds.

Wait if this trailer is "illegal" then what would a fully loaded seed hawk be?

In the field. You never move a planter or fertilizer spreader or sprayer with product in it. Or at least we never did when I was growing up. It had something to do with not wasting that high priced seed or fertilizer. Dad had each field figured out as to what was needed in the seeder/sprayer/spreader.

[redglasses]

Oh dang, u right. Never really thought of that

He is talking about metric tons, 1000 kg, so it should be about 2200 pounds

[Guil]

Yep spot on. We never really use pounds here. It's kg and ton.
