Plow weight - help needed

Post by SpecialGuest »

Hi folks, I need some advice from some modding experts. :smileynew:

I've downloaded a plow mod, it is not a big one, but average tractors cannot pull it faster than 5 km/h. I'd like to change that.
The speed limit in the xml file is 15 km/h, so the problem is elsewhere.
I tried to decrease to plow's Density in the i3d file to lower its weight (from 1 to 0.1 and 0.5) , but then it was "jumping" out of the ground all the time. So the problem seem to be now that the soil has too much resistance on the shanks compared to its mass, it pushes the plow out of the ground.
Is there a way to make it work? It's a small plow, it really shouldn't need 500 hp to pull.

Thanks in advance. :smileynew:

Sorry I can't remeber where is it exactly from, but it's called John Deere 915 ripper. It contains two plows, and it's the bigger one.

Is it this one? https://www.deere.com/en/tillage/915-v-ripper/
Looks like a pretty big ripper with a pretty big tractor pulling it to me...
If you're after a big plough that's easy to pull, look for the Horsch cultiplow by Stevie. It's 10m wide and works well enough with 250+hp on the front.
Sorry, I can't help with your issue. I tried to edit the cultiplow the other way, to make it harder to pull as it just seems too easy for it's size, but it's beyond me!
