Thank you so much for this time saving, maybe unrealistic, but much needed mod for consoles. Five gold stars IMO

its a great package!! and yes it is realistic, any tillage equipment can be used to create a field, might vary how many passes it takes. Awesome mod!!

With you 100%. I am trying to envision what I can do on Pacific Northwest now!

I have gone back to Washoe, Nevada to make some huge cotton fields. Will be very useful for Flatmap too.

There's an update for this mod and it states it adds realistic working speeds. Wondering if that will slow it down or speed it up. Don't want to update it if it goes the direction I don't want as I won't be able to go back. Has anyone updated it yet?

Subsoilers are down to 8 kph (default is 12 kph)
Cultivators stay at 15 kph
Disc harrows are at 20 kph now (default is 17 kph)

This mod is not working. Installed it and tested with vanilla map and two mod maps several times. Plowing needed state stays on the map. With several cultivators and disc harrows (mods and vanilla game). Uninstalled it and installed again, nothing. Has anyone else got this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Maybe this crashes with some other mod? Any help appreciated, thx.

I do think you're misunderstanding what this mod does, yes.

It only allows cultivators, harrows and subsoilers to be able to create new fields. If you want the plowing state, either use the subsoilers in the mod, or a plow.

the biggest issue I have with this mod pack is they way it messes with the information on the statistics table. it puts info in both the cultivated and plowed fields and adds them together for total area worked.

I ran a quick test on big fields map this morning, the field size is .4ha, after working the field, never raising the implement and with some overlap the statistics screen was showing I had done 28.8 ha total area

It was a very good mod before we got all these new “plows” and subsoilers. But I haven’t used it in over a year.

Facepalm, facepalm. Yes my bad. I'll go back to school and start learning to read. Facepalm.

The widest/fastest (12m/15kph) plow will be likely JD 2410. That's 18ha per hour (theoretical). Also a nicely low power demand of 200hp.

Edit: Well that JD 2410 is not actually a PLOW, but... you know.

Well it is a chisel plow so close enough I guess? (They replaced conventional moldboard plows due to better residue coverage, lower power demands, and being easier on the soil)
