Older equipment

Post by xxukuxx »

I'd love to see some older equipment on the console modhub, foragers, trailers drills, always bugs me to run a small farm with medium size old tractors that have to pull modern equipment and use massive new foragers.
Also does anyone else find some of the equipment isn't the best scale, as in tractor size to tanker size for example.. Idk maybe just me

It is a tough thing for us console folk to deal with. I agree with you it would be awesome to have older press drills and air seeder equipment. I know I heard BC Buehler talking about doing some old-school air drills, in the 30-50 foot range.. but it would be this winter he said.
I struggle with pulling the new equipment with old-school iron. Things seem to be out of scale in my mind as far as horsepower requirement

Not just machines. Mod buildings have scale issues, too.

There's almost an older mod in every single category....

Haven't checked lately, but when I did I found far less than I wanted to. Of the few promising ones I found, several had issues and didn't really work out. As have been suggested before, would be really cool if one could start a scenario back in time, and new equipment got introduced when they were launched in the real world. Too little old equipment for that though.

Maybe someone should start a list to keep old gear within various categories.. I tried to make one in FS19 back in the day ;)

Hello, there, Sir Chedley. 😁

I see some equipment from the 60s to 70s. When I play something like a “survival” map where there is, pretty much, nothing to start, I think “ old homestead”. I think of the 40s, 50s, or even earlier. Am I missing something?

I know I’m an odd old bird, but I wish there was more of it.

The upside is that, after 7 years, I’m finally starting to like big fields and equipment, too. Of course, part of that is I’ve, finally learned to log and use the big stuff.

I’d just like to roll play a game starting in the early to mid 20th century and slowly move it to present day.

I, truly, am an odd old bird. We’re I to be a real fowl, I’m sure I’d have purple feathers with an orange tail.

For me it's more of having the option for certain. Little tasks. The biggest of farms around me still have at the very least 40 series sized rigs for certain jobs. Most of the farmall H units are now show pieces or dare I say "Gravity Wagon" haulers lol. I'm content with what we have so far. I dont need to "homestead start from scratch with antiques " roleplay. If I were to jump into farming next week in real.life, I wouldnt start out with much of that small stuff and I dont need to in game. If I truly had to play that way I would definitely have bought a PC for that style. Many many more mods out for that style on PC sad to say

Yep. I do know I’m odd and I’m not holding my breath for the old and small stuff. It’s still enjoyable.

It’s a joke. Chedley had a ‘vendetta’ against Giants trying to get a gravity wagon made in game.
