how many hours on your favourite tractor?

Post by DirectCedar »

I've got several maps going and each seems to end up with a favourite tractor that I use for most jobs and can't really see myself replacing no matter how old it gets. Currently:

Westbridge Hills Ford 8830 with 130 hours.
Giants Island Fendt 724 with 110 hours.
Goldcrest Valley all three original tractors (2x CaseIH 1455XL and 1x New Holland 8340) each with 140-160 hours.
Tuscan Lands Same Fortis 160 with 78 hours (just getting going on this one :lol: )

My favorite is the Ford tw-35 on my favorite map Lone Oak. it is almost at 200 hours, i think its 197 or 198 now. It was my only tractor on the first 150 hours of this map ( sold almost all of the starting equipment and edited the xml to remove a lot of the money)
couple others with high hours were stara 180 on estancia lapacho, fendt favorite 800 on tvtof, the smallest of the jcb's i cant remember the name on oakfield and the IHC 644 on altenstein. all of these had between 130 and 165 hours each

I also love the TW-35. Had about 80 hours on one that I "traded" on the 8830 in Westbridge as I needed a front linkage for mowing and something a bit faster on the road for hauling silage. I just love the look of the old Fords, both in game and in real life. They were never common in my area so I'm experiencing them vicariously now :biggrin2:

Yes I believe so. I actually have v1.0.0.0 but it looks like v2 is the same but with four additional tractors. Both versions include a few old Countys as well which are very cool. I actually started that Westbridge map with the TW-35 and a County 1884 and a little 7710; all awesome old tractors.

I thought the pack was in the Giants FS17 modhub when I got it but it's not there now so I am probably misremembering. It seems to be on lots of other mod sites though.
