[KNOWN ISSUE] Big Bud Horse Power Issue

Post by Epic307 »

So i recently got the Bid Bud DLC for Farming Simulator 17. I use them on the American Outback map, but my problem is that in the shop it say that the Big Bud 747 has 1200Hp. In the Garage menu though, it say 900Hp. Is this a bug or not? If so can it be fixed? (Side Note!) I also have the same issue for the Big Bud 450. Instead of 500Hp, it only has 450!
If anyone can help, that would be appreciated. Thanks. :biggrin2:

Here's why I think it is like that. If I'm wrong, can someone please correct me.

It started life at 760 horsepower. Then, it was turned up to 900+ horsepower, then later it was turned up to 1100hp. After that, the owners painted the 1100hp Silver Series Detroit on the bumper. Now, after that, I believe it was turned back down to 900+ horsepower and I think that is the power it is currently set at.

Now, the 450 I'm not too sure on....Sorry, but I think I have my facts correct on the 747.

Both machines actual HP needs to be changed to match the paint / store details.

The 747 has 962 hp according to Wikipedia, but it still has the 1100 hp paint job. There's no confirmation anywhere that it's ever had 1100 hp and even the owner's own website for the tractor states that it has "over 900 hp". Most likely the 1100 was nothing more than a marketing stunt because modern tractors (mainly Case IH and John Deere) are more powerful. I'm not sure if the game actually models it correctly as having 900 hp because it feels a LOT weaker than the Challenger and Case, especially going uphill it almost stalls.

The 450 should have 450 hp/340 kW (it's how they were named). It's also supposed to have twin wheels and was never used with singles.
