Wouldn’t it be great...

...if there was a module in the store which would let you pick a tractor and a piece of equipment and it would tell you if the two where compatible or not?

The module could tell you if the tractor has enough horsepower to pull that piece of equipment and if you’d need a front weight or not. And if so, how heavy it would have to be.

Maybe FS 21?

in the store all the hp requirements and specs are listed. Im not sure why you need something else to tell you its compatible

yeah, but the instore HP requirement figures in the store can be way off (over), so this would have a use.
Some stuff will work fine with way less than stated, some will work, but a little slower, though still potentially saving time and money for you.
I just buy everything (on the stupid rich farm) and see what works out if I am not sure.
At least 19 will let us see what vehicle mods look like before we buy, that's some progress..!

I think its to time consuming to put such much time in this which havent that big of priority. As someone already said, in the description on each tractor or implement it isnt so much hard to identify which implement can be used on which tractor.

Sure. But tippers don’t show HP requirements for instance.

And front weights are hardly ever needed in game. But tractors in real life pretty much always carry them.
So I was more thinking; even though not really needed in game, what front weight would one put on their tractor for this or that equipment?

Same with tires/wheels... in game it don’t matter what’s on the tractor, but what would be best to run in real life with that combination? So you can simulate it in game.

If you play with More Realistic all these things do matter. Setting these configurations correctly for particular jobs can make the difference between working fine and not working at all. It is a remarkably fun way to play. No more slapping whatever on whatever and roaring up a hill.

In the newer DLC there has been a weight recommendation so i'm sure this will continue.

I know I've been caught out before with different implements/tippers and their "connection" to the tractor (3 point, tow bar, the other tow bar one I can't think of the name etc)

Like most things in FS17- it's a case of trial and error or youtube !

[iwan073]

Or YouTube yeah
