John Deere

[redglasses]

Now that there is JD in the base game will modders be able to submit jd mods for console or what do you think? I play on ps4.

Yep, as long as the quality is high enough, and also if jd doesn't block it

Thanks for the reply red

Well, I think it is a little more complicated than "if JD doesn't block it". It will likely depend on just what the licensing agreement between Giants and JD entails (for which we will never know). There may be clauses regarding what can and cannot be "formally" supported by Giants, which translates into what can and cannot be a console mod due to the in-game modhub being the only way to deliver mods... JD need not actively "block" a mod to preclude its publication to consoles - Giants/Sony/Microsoft could all decide not to if the licensing agreement doesn't outright support it.

Can anyone make John Deere mods for fs17 like the 4430 and other older tractors that are 2 wheel drive

Console no. If you are on pc go looking around test them all on a test save first. Quality can majorly vary with 3rd party mod sites.

I’m curious about what is so special about the JD equipment?

It's the most popular brand in the world so people want their equipment in the game.

Wouldn’t say most popular, but each to their own I guess.

It’s not even a debate. It’s by far the most popular. Go look at sales figures. It out earns even all the parent companies.

Revenue in 2017
John Deere 29.7 billion
CNH Industrial (Case and New Holland) 27.4 billion
Agco (Fendt/Massey/Valera/Challanger) 7.4 billion

^^But how many did they sell, all thats probably just from combines breaking down

[Rasping rabbit]

They may have taken the most money but that doesn’t necessarily follow that they sold the most machinery.

[Ritchie]

If I'd made 7.4 billion in 2017 I'd be pretty happy with that

[Gimli54]

Having worked on a farm I can understand having loyalty to a brand of tractor in my instance it’s Case IH if we didn’t have them in game I’d be begging giants to bring them in and I wouldn’t be satisfied with new holland id still want red so to an extent it’s brand loyalty but I also like having options in game which I think always helps the game

I am really hoping for the JD series 8000/9000 series forage harvesters, S series combine and 9r, RT and rx series tractors... Pretty please.

BTW why do combine harvesters not have engine choice as tractors do in FS I wonder?

[faruk9154]

I'm hoping the John Deere 9RT and Cotton Harvester models will arrive.

List already said the T Series combine is the only one. At least in the base game. It also doesn't show coming soon under harvesters for JD so I think we can rule out a forage harvester.
