John Deere

4.0

(24)

"John Deere 4020, without a doubt!"

"The old 4020s are hard to beat, take care of them and they’ll take care of you."

"Personally I am doing hay and I have a John Deere 2019 5100E and a 2022 6120M. The 6120M is a badass machine."

"I have two John Deere tractors and a Kubota. Much better service with John Deere."

"I just bought a John Deere 650 (Yanmar 2-cylinder diesel) for this same purpose"

"I've had good experiences when sourcing parts for my old John Deere. It's a 870 from the 80s."

"4020 or 4960"

"If used for hay, the 5 series or 6 series would probably be best.. if larger bails you may want to go with the 7 series."

"I’m partial to the more modern 6030"

"I’d point you towards something like a Deere 4020 or maybe like a 4430 or 4450. Those last 2 are a little above 100hp but are good reliable machines."

Fendt

4.7

(15)

"Fendt 942"

"Fendt 1050 is the ultimate conventional-frame tractor."

"The fendt 728 vario gen7 is the best allround tractor in the game imo."

"Fendt favorit 515 as an all round yard tractor"

"The Fendt 1050 is my do it all tractor."

"The Fendt 700 Series and John Deere 6r are my all rounders as can do almost everything with them."

"I love Fendts so they are my jack of all trades."

"Team OnlyFendts here"

"All rounders are Fendt Favorit Vario 926 and Claas Arion something something"

"Fendt stood out to me because of the ease of use and comfort."

Claas

4.5

(12)

"Claas Axion 870 for grass work, Claas Axion 960 with tracks for almost everything else."

"Claas Xerion 5000 series for plowing and occasionally planting."

"Class Xerion for heavy fieldwork like plowing"

"Claas axion terra track for planting"

"Claas all the way, Fasttracks for field care and transport that doesn't require a truck."

"Claas, Case, Massey Ferguson, New Holland and John Deere are my favourites as those are the tractors I've driven IRL."

"The big Claas Xerion can have wheels or tracks and isn't articulated. It's also powerful enough to use anything in base game Aaand it can compact a silage bunker pretty darn quickly lol"

"I like the big claas since it isn’t articulated (which is really annoying to manoeuvre imo) and is available with tracks or wheels."

"Claas or fendt"

"I tend to use Claas or Case for harvesting."

Case

4.0

(9)

"When it comes to field work I love a case or even a McCormick for heavy pulling."

"I’m a Case guy, but like a previous commenter said, any diesel in any color from the 70s to now would suffice."

"I bought a case 830 for 2k and it runs like a taped ape."

"Depends on your budget and if you want to do other stuff with it but the best large tractors would be the r9 or the case quad track"

"White 2-135 Oliver 1955 Case Traction King Oliver Super 88 Allison Chalmers 7000 series"

"I just have a small Case with the largest engine option that I use for everything, but I think I want to buy a Claas next time I'm buying a new tractor."

"I drive Case and have driven John Deere as well and I like Case better"

"The big 3 case, new hollande, Deere"

"I've used case and kubotas. Even though they make great machines, I don't think I could buy an overpriced JD"

Massey Ferguson

3.9

(9)

"Massey furgeson 135 with the perkins diesel, we've had ours for nearly 60 years on a 10 acre block."

"Massey Ferguson 165. Absolute workhorse that will run forever."

"I'd look at Massey Ferguson 135 or 165."

"I am trying to stick to massey Ferguson just as a challenge."

"For smaller jobs, Masseys or Case are great!"

"Why not just use MF?"

"I have a Massey 4707 for example. Good power but you’ll be on the phone with the dealer as soon as it fucks up."

"Massey 4707"

"The more older equipment brand M.F, white, gleaner"

Kubota

3.9

(8)

"Kubota are bulletproof with a long history of quality in the compact tractor market."

"You really can’t go wrong with Kubota."

"Or older Kubotas, can’t go wrong with either"

"I've borrowed my FIL's 90s Kubota, and that thing is awesome."

"Kubota, Massey Ferguson and John Deere are very good brands."

"I’ve had Kubotas on small farms set up with loader and backhoe and they work good for the price."

"Entry level Kubota. Seems alright."

"I would stay away from Kubota lawn tractors completely. The parts are expensive, hard to find, and they tend to have a lot of electrical issues."

Oliver

4.0

(5)

"550 Oliver for the money. I’ll second the Massey 135. People are scared of the Oliver’s, don’t know why."

"Oliver 1655 or 1755 very reliable, easy to work on!"

"JCB because I love speeeed"

"I'd say jcb medium because it's able to hitch the font and back."

Ford

4.5

(4)

"Our ford 3400 is one of the best/most cost effective investments we’ve made."

"Best machine I have ever used on lawns with trees and overhanging bushes is a two wheel drive Ford 1210 hydrostatic drive tractor with a sixty inch finishing mower behind it."

"The older Ford 3400's were a great tractor."

"3000 or 4000 series Ford."

Tractors

4.0

Deutz-Fahr
