Tramlines & Subsidies

This enhanced version of Precision Farming introduces tramlines that enable you to plant with precision. Guide your machinery along familiar tracks for tidier fields and healthier crops.

Use catch crops like oilseed radish and earn in-game subsidies by selecting eco-friendly, nitrogen-saving techniques over traditional fertilizing. Just like in real life!

PWM & Section Control

We’ve also incorporated advanced technology: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). This allows sprayers to adjust output dynamically. Instead of constant spraying, PWM enables individual nozzles to deliver the exact amount needed based on speed or turns, minimizing waste and enhancing coverage.

Additionally, Automatic Section Control is introduced, letting your machines activate or deactivate sections as necessary. This results in no more over-spraying or missing spots—it’s cleaner, smarter, and environmentally friendly.

New Machines & Retrofit Sensors

This update presents six new machines, including the John Deere R975i sprayer and the HAWE body swap system. Ever dreamed of converting a trailer into a premium slurry tanker? Now possible with the Wienhoff 25.200 PTW Profi Line, equipped with a manure sensor.

If you’re sticking with other sprayers, upgrade with PTx Trimble WeedSeeker2 sensors for spot-spraying weeds effortlessly. Simply retrofit them!
