Nice stable of machines, brother. I know this these are ancient images in the farm sim world. How did you like the Challengers? You must have liked them a lot to get two. I got a farmer across the border with one for sale.

Thanks, I really like them and actually have three, two 5 series and a 6 series and at one time had 4 but the other 6 series was replaced by the big massey because I can get about 50 more horse out of it. This mostly stems from real life, my planting tractor is a challenger and i really like it. Cat has always been a top notch dealer to deal with whether I’m in there for parts for my backhoe at work or trying out a new machine sending someone out to show off the bells and whistles and taking into consideration what we like and don’t like, to going in as a small farmer and still being taken good care of. Plus in a pinch I can go to an agco dealer as well. Won’t here too many complaints from me and plan to replace our case with a 200ish horse challenger in the near future. I just hope giants shows some love to the rest of the challenger tractor and equipment line in the next game.

I'm on day four at my new farm in Griffin, Indiana. We have heard from the locals that there have been some sightings of the legendary bigfoot. Although we have yet to see the creature. On the farming side of things, I am in the middle of my first hay crop. I am selling most of my bales locally, to recoup some profit. I will keep some for my horses and cattle. But I will probally make around 5-600 all said and done. I got a good deal on some used equipment and bought some with the help of Machinery Pete. I have a 4440, and a Massey Ferguson Hesston small baler to do my bales. And I got a good local deal on a John Deere 2280 swather, to cut. It's older but she runs great. I am on the look out for an 8960, if anyone has some leads on a good used one in the Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky area. I'm gonna hope to get a field prepared to plant some soybean in the next few days.
Good to get this thread going again Ched and stay out of the way of "Bigfoot". My farming is taking place in Iowa in the Upper Mississippi River Valley where all of us are on the alert as there has been some sightings of a Hinged-Tail Bingbuffer that has made it up here from the Ozarks in Missouri.

A ferocious animal but fortunately its moves slowly because of its short legs. But you have to be ready to dodge the rocks it will sling at you from it's hinged tail. It has a very large and deep mouth where it stores rocks and when it is ready to kill its prey it reaches in its mouth pulling out a rock and sling it at you. When its prey is knocked out it can slowly meander over and finish the kill.

We just managed to finish the fall harvest of corn putting nearly 673,000 liters in the silo. Now we wait for the prices to go up.

Got the savegame back on West Texas. About 20 hours in now, most I've ever put on a savegame in FS besides MP haha. Would list the tractors, but I've got so much equipment that a picture is easier :lol: Right now, it's a lot of manure hauling, going to be in mid spring soon to get some crops planted. Not pictured in a Big Bud 450 being recalled by factory, the community trader will be providing me with a new one soon :D

The harvest crew at work. The combine and grain cart being controlled with Course Play and the two grain haulers under command of Auto Drive. Makes for an efficient operation.

Haulers waiting.

Many folks along the Mississippi River say "it is too thick to drink and too thin to plow". :biggrin2:

No screenshots (I do have a glut to upload though...) but,
Finished a smaller corn field.
Finished ripping and VT’ing a larger one. Now for winter wheat which will be following by double crop beans.
And the current project since Courseplay finished baling is to load and haul off 40-50 round bales of corn fodder before I start liming and tillage to prep for wheat.
And have to finish the last two fields.
Harvest, Baling, Clear the bales off, Somewhere in the last three soil sample, lime, inline rip, VT, Drill in wheat. And all the while race the end of fall, 2 in game days left.

Back in map search mode. I really want one of the following:

- 4x version of No Man's Land
- Version of No Man's Land that is more Alpine themed (mountainous surround and more hilly)
- Version of No Man's Land with more exposed water and more trees

If I get the time, I might just strip everything off Holzer or another similar map and play that map. It's got some roll to it, a good number of trees and the town is on the edges.

5E series. We ran a 5083E for pushing feed a few years back, so the 5085E with a bucket is the closest bet haha

Hope you get it sorted out, I spent 5 hours testing and testing things on my West Texas save only to figure out it was one mod breaking the whole thing :confusednew:
