It’s not mandatory. I’ve picked it up though. Others don’t want it it won’t be on the server 
So, if we all get it, will you forbid us from purchasing the equipment because we actually can’t afford it in game?
All claas all the time
We should put together a list of stuff that we want to try on this next farm. Things which either we really liked and want to repeat, or things we never tried, and want to give a shot.
So my list of stuff I like and would like to try on the next farm…
- Dedicated front loader machine. I prefer this to the tractor in most situations.
- Maybe even have a dedicated front loader machine at the store (pretend it belongs to the store), to make loading purchases easier.
- Lighted sheds. I kinda prefer the lights inside the sheds, compared to floodlights on the towers (which almost washes out everything).
- Pull-through sheds.
- Silage bunker (to see how this works)
Also, @saghen and I were talking last night, how about we try having multiple farms on our next map save? That way if saghen wants to try some logging, he’s got his own cash and equipment, and can buy a lot somewhere and try.
I checked into this, and we can all help on each other’s farms if we set it that way. Might add some extra play value and interest, having this in addition to our main farm.

All Platinum Edition content details (click on DETAILS for each vehicle for more data):
FYI - started selling off some equipment in preparation for the move to Lone Oak Farm when the Claas DLC drops.
All mowing / baling equipment sold except for the bale trailer, since we’ll likely need to sell those. We won’t be mixing more TMR likely, we’ll just sell off the cows if the feed gets sufficiently low that we’d need to refill it. Same goes for sheep.
Plow and subsoiler sold as we don’t need them for this anymore. All crops and contracts all the time now. We can start selling the rest of the stuff as we get closer to the date so it’s not a mad rush.
We should probably discuss how we want to start the new farm at some point (aside from the setting up the second farm with like $30M for messing around).

So, you’ve determined that adlabs and I will be getting the DLC?
No. Though adlabs is leaning toward getting it.
That’s just the date.
I am leaning toward it. Not sure I can grab it by the 22nd due to stuff, but yea.
Want me to front you the money again? Not a problem.

Thanks saghen, up to you. Either way, lets wait a week or so. Plenty of time, and stuff might click here for me unexpectedly.
I’ve got the farm cleaned up from last night’s marathon. It’s all set for harvest on 11/13. Should be a good 2 or 3 player session awaiting.
Oh @Rhinosaurus… Maybe save and backup a our farm before we do the major sell off? Be nice to have a copy down the road, maybe.
Some data that might be useful when considering our first properties on Lone Oak (main farm, I mean).
Current farm:
Field / Land Area / Field Area
20 / 3.03 / .73
19 / 2.91 / 1.61
18 / 3.00 / 1.98
17 / 4.36 / 2.99
11 / 3.21 / 2.10
13 / 5.08 / 4.09
Total land area: 21.59 Ha
Total Field area: 13.5 Ha
The main farm on Lone Oak (if we want to use it) costs $262k and has zero field area.
Neighboring lots:
33 / 4.96 / 4.22 - $298k
41 / 7.32 / 6.33 - $434k
Across the street lots:
32 / 9.43 / 8.69 - $567k
40 / 8.04 / 7.35 - $482k
And @Rhinosaurus mentioned having a field to leave as grass… well behind the farm is Lot 34 with 1.21 Ha field area, priced at $132k. Access is through a large double gate at the rear of the farm. Maybe worth considering, since it’s about 75% the size of our current field 19 (that’s a lot of grass).
Are we going to try and divide up these new big fields into smaller fields so it’s not so unwieldy for single person operations
I’m good either way. I actually don’t find our 11/13 field to be too much to handle single player, especially with our latest equipment.

Likewise. The bigger fields are kinda fun and everything else we had was easily manageable by 1 person with AI help if they all popped at once.
I meant to do this before I sold off the baling stuff. I’ll save a copy tonight.
Hey guys! So I won’t be on the next two nights but should be able to do some Sunday.
We’re rapidly approaching claas day. I’ll need confirmation you guys want that on the server when we switch over
Also, if you guys want to have some idea of how you want things to look when we first start let me know. We also should pick an evening we’ll all be around to get things started. I’ll use the night before to set the file up with the appropriate cash, start the farms, buy the fields we wanted, etc…

Adlabs told me that he got the expansion. I’ll pick it up.
I want a farm beautification budget, so this will look like a proper farm. …and have drive through sheds.
