But would you all PAY for an Old Tractor DLC?
Most certainly would if it contained some nice 70s & 80s era tractors.
The modern classics DLC was purchased so would certainly be up for some more.
After your excellent classics pack you look like the man for the job.
Some of the older tractors their adding look great

Well before we all start getting ahead of ourselves we still have a month, so there are still more fact sheets coming and we don't have the full veiw yet, yes I would also pay for a good dlc but let us see what is coming first shall we.
Depending on the cost I would. I have got used to having the older machinery even if just to have to use around the farm, at least one or two pieces of machinery have been on every map.
The problem is Giants complete neglects the fact that to start a farm. You need old used equipment. And that Giants shoves wonder junk down our throats. It ticks me off big time. Cause my buddies who farm. All run 45-80 horse tractors only. And make decent money with them. The 4000 liter baler stock is a turn off as my buddy has both a 2000 liter 4x4 Vermeer from the 80's and a conventional 300-400 liter square baler. And makes 20 grand on bales each year. Along with his tractor repair shop bringing another 15-20 grand. So It is dumb to see Giants neglect the small older farms who thrive off of baling with 45-80 horse tractors. And old implements.
In my opinion the problem with small tractors in the current game is the limited work width of the corresponding equipment. FS19 has the same parcel width as the previous games, which is 0,5 m. Working on this map type with equipment with small work width wouldn't look good as it would look offset most of the time. To make a map fitting for small tractors they would have to lower that value to at least 0,25 m or even lower. But this would increase the hardware requirements beyond the capabilities of many systems (all of the consoles probably). This could be countered by decreasing the overall map size but then the map wouldn't be optimized for the larger machinery anymore. (Giants tend to design their maps, so all equipment can be used on all maps.)
Besides that most players actuall like those new big machinery and they would have to put a lot of work into it for a rather small audience.
