Hi,
I am on the market for a larger trailer. Apparently I can't find the proper search terms, so here is the question:
Is there a rule of thumb to estimate the power needs for a full trailer? I don't want it to crawl, but I am not rich enough atm to overpay for a tractor that would be too powerful either

Re: HP calculations for trailers
Depends on map, tractor, trailer and what additional mods you use.
Post what you use and someone can give you a rule of thumb.

Re: HP calculations for trailers
Felsbrunn, no vehicle/equipment modifying mods. I can't tell you what tractor and trailer I am using, since the question is about how to choose a tractor depending on the trailer.

It pulls it it pulls it, it hopefully will stop it.

Re: HP calculations for trailers
Generally speaking, the minimum I like to run is around 100 HP per 10,000L. Not always possible, but I try to keep it as close to that as I can.Neofit wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 11:12 am Hi,

So little low but 300-350 is about all a 4020 could road without brakes I imagine* (and acceleration would be slow, but the game has grain weights at half)
*not an expert

Re: HP calculations for trailers
Yeah, that's why I said around. Like if I had a 20,000L trailer, something in the 190-210, maybe 225 range is what I'd try to get.
So far for the purposes of the game, it's worked out for me.

Re: HP calculations for trailers
You could always have a test save, cheat money in buy tractor and trailer you want to test and buy a multi fruit buying station and fill it up with something and test it first. I test every mod I add to my game this way
