I hope not

A few things...

Yes, Kenper has been owned by Deere since 1998 but they operate somewhat independently and I believe the manage brand licensing different. Kemper has been in the series for a while.

For Giants to invlude a Deere forage harvester, I'm almost completely certain they need the rights to do so. While there is a general license, individual products...especially their styling, has trademark rights as well and these carry down for all products, including toys and digital images.

I've said it about a thousand times thus far...more Deere is on the way. No confirmation on what products or how many. Several months ago it was 4-5 and in November. No new information since.

Given the new product releases recently and Agritechnica on the way, I can only assume it all fits together.

A few toy makers have surprise Agritechnica releases coming and ine has said the are not allowed to say anything until Agritechnica. I know Britains has a 1:32 8RX 410 for Agritechnica because I held it in my own two hands. It's not really secret but it hasn't been advertised as public yet

What is new or updated for this year for Deere that could be seen in FS19?
8RX, 8R, 8RT, 7R, 6M
9000 series SPFH
New, unreleased and unannounced combine that is bigger than the new Claas

I’m surprised they’re not giving away that Krone baler they have in that league thingy of theirs

It's frustrating seeing official models like the Krone baler and the JD/Kemper forage tools and not knowing if they're ever gonna be released.
This is like Giants waving them in front of me and saying nuh-uh you can't have them unless you manage a 300€ trip just to get them or sit down and wait an indeterminate amount of time and we might release them.
I don't like this.

I’d like it better if they would just say; who comes to Hanover gets it in advance, for free.
The rest can get it next month or so. Even if it’s a paid dlc I wouldn’t mind

The JD 9000 is part of the code giveaway with Kemper. Chris confirmed it yesterday and has changed the descriptions to clarify that.

Cause if they’re all identical...

In FS17 they did the same thing with Horsch pack and the Horsch AgroVation map they released on AgriTechnica, no?
I got a hold of a code somewhere and it worked perfectly, at least a few dozen people probably used that code before I did...

Yea it was similar with Horsch. All the mods were later uploaded to ModHub. That suggest me, that will be similar this year.

The Horsch map was mod contest?

Yes it was. Check out this Reddit post, it discusses the same situation for the Horsch pack with the Agritechnica download code: https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindin ... grovation/

If it's anything to go by, the JD / Kemper pack will be available on Modhub after Agritechnica, but you can get it early if you can get a code (that someone got) at Agritechnica

Thanks for sharing the knowledge, I wasn't aware of this.

Just to make it clear, this won't be a free download or provided for free at Agritechnica. It's most likely the next DLC or for the next game. If it's the next game then that's by far and away the earliest promo ever, so it's almost certainly an upcoming DLC (presumably not free, though who knows).

I like the look of that plough and press setup.
