John Deere Confirmed for FS19

[DeereJason]

I doubt we will get every (mid-large) tractor line that jd offers

Every model, no. But it's pretty likely that each series will make It in. This was pretty much the case for AGCO and CNH. Maybe they didn't within each brand but did as a company... in some cases, more than one brand in each size range. Deere's "M" series is designed to compete against Massey and New Holland whereas the "R" series is their Premium line competing against Case IH and Fendt/Challenger.

Also if there isn't a proper set of narrow(er) of duals I'll be mad

Yeah, tire options can definitely be improved. Would be nice to be able to purchase a set of duals that fit several like machines..An attachment all their own but not something that can be just dropped anywhere like weights.

Oh ok, i see, we dont have the newer stuff where i live.

all green sell-out by Giants.

Giants are not selling out....................

time will tell if they sell-out over successive iterations of FS## and other manufactures pull-out of the FS franchise.

they have already sold-out to the console market in a way, as they would have otherwise pushed the quality higher with FS17 with the physics/ground interactions.

Maybe Giants made an offer that JD couldn't refuse, i dont think Giants sold out JD.

What makes you say that? From what I've since atleast fs15 Giants has been interested in JD as a partner the terms were never right up until recently, maybe JD saw what Giants was doing in fs19 and felt the time was right after the success of fs17 as a whole.We don't know the whole story (and may never ) but i give props to Giants for getting what was a once thought near impossible idea of JD in FS19. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.

I think Giants kept it really well under wraps

If it ain't red, it stays in the shed.

If anyone think Giants is selling out, they are being naive. Giants is in this business to MAKE MONEY! Not to provide each of us with our own individual slice of entertainment.

This is a business deal, pure and simple. It has zero bearing on the deals Giants has with other OEM's, none whatsoever. These OEM's deal with these things on a daily basis. They fully understand one licensee may make deals with several OEM's and they don't get their knickers in a twist over it. They have far bigger issues to concern themselves with.

From an OEM perspective, you're placing too much importance on being part of Farming Simulator. It matters a lot to Giants and fans of the franchise, it doesn't matter even a fraction as much to equipment manufacturers. Sure, they would like to work our mutually beneficial deals, but in the grand scheme of their business, its not that big of a deal.

I've not seen the picture you're talking about. Hoping the belly dumps are coming!!

Ain't it pretty?

SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!

[redglasses]

Best part is that trailer is fully textured and finished, which means its pretty much confirmed, only thing that worries me is the truck axle seems to be turning

[Alagos]

@red, I think that might actually be the Tatra truck lol

[averydan]

Hope it has the standard tire option. I prefer the regular tread duals.

[ClassicTractors]

Red....I think that is a Euro truck....I don't think it is one of the American trucks.

A center pivot mower conditioner would be a cool addition.
