Any older 4x4 tractors in the works?

Correct me if im wrong here but isn't Steiger and international Case IH, and Ford New holland?

With Ford it's not that simple, as Ford is still a company operating under that name. New Holland acquired the agriculture business and probably the right to use the Ford name for a limited time, but I'd be very surprised if that license is still valid now.

Exactly. Didn't mean Ford motors

Exactly

When Case-IH and New Holland merged, the US government forced them to spin-off the Ford-New Holland tractors. The Ford-NH line was then purchased by John Buhler bringing the rebirth of the Versatile branded tractors.

It's complicated.

Nice,that's another tractor that needs to come to fs 19 for all systems,a versatile

His there a way ford tractor could be slightly changed & to avoid the licencing issue ? Bit like the obvious JD tractor rebranded as lizard ?
I'd be quite happy to have a FROD lizard 7610 in the shed

Shh, they might have missed it!

I doubt that would be acceptable as it's clearly a Ford with pretty much zero attempt at covering up the fact.

I don't know if there are clear guidelines (I assume it would be judged on a case-by-case basis) but more disguise would be needed.

In FS2011 GIANTS had vehicles which were clearly inspired by old New Holland, Claas and International equipment, but weren't branded as such; they were all called Lizard and the model numbers were all different with the Lizard Sovereign 58 (Claas Dominator 85), Lizard 7210 (New Holland Clayson M135), Lizard 422 (International 453) and a Lizard 2850-C (not sure what that's based on).

There's also the 40 series tractors available on consoles but if we're going to be picky about it they were designed by ford long before they carried the new Holland name ,
I would imagine that as long as you didn't use the ford oval which is obviously a branded trade mark it wouldn't be too much of an issue. After all these games are played by impressionable young kids so surely it would be in the company's interest to push it's brand name regardless of the fact they no longer have an agricultural division , I bet Henry Ford turned in his grave the day they sold the tractor division, & probably still turning

Giants can't have that much of an issue , I've just come across a lizzard 'rumbler' van which is quite obviously a ford transit

It goes back earlier than that, to the mid/late 1980s, in Europe at least.

Yeah true

[Yeahrightio]

Could we get Renault equipment considering Claas purchased the company. FS has the Claas licence, so is Renault included?

Usually, if the subsidiary is still operating under their own name, then no. It would be a separate license. There may be some exceptions, but that's how I understand it.

Think of it like General Motors, they own Chevrolet, GMC and Buick, but each name is trademarked and copyrighted separately.

[Yeahrightio]

Ah, Fair enough. Hopefully we get some Renault Atles or Ares tractors anyway.
