    Realistic working speeds

    Yep, "Oakfield Farm" is one of the "real" places modified slightly to fit in game. I've sunk a couple of hundred hours into that one, I'm not-too-afraid to admit. With Farm Sim it's very easy to get carried away getting the big equipment with massive horsepower, leave your foot flat to the...

    Realistic working speeds

    I'd love to actually own this Fendt 939 I'm in right now but virtual is the best I can do. I want the knowledge from all of you on here that do it for a living; I've a reasonable interest in agriculture so reading all the topics on here and playing Farm Sim lets me live your lives vicariously...

    Realistic working speeds

    I mean, the games are going to be one of, if not the, biggest engagement of younger people into farming, outside of it being passed down the family tree. I'd hope they would be well on-board with ensuring people stay in farming (y) Thanks for answers @Robt certainly seems like huge variables...

    Typical power/size vs. acreage?

    Wow, that seems like a lot of acres to cover with just a 4.5m mower. What kind of speed do you run at with the mower?

    Typical power/size vs. acreage?

    Wow, plenty of responses - I certainly appreciate all of them, so thank you! Would it be fair to say most implements (seeders, cultis etc) are probably in the region of 3-6m wide, up to a few hundred acres of field? I honestly didn't expect so many responses to be that of <150hp in tractor...

    Typical power/size vs. acreage?

    Ah, yea I hadn't considered this may come across like that. Nope, just a regular person - work in IT, passing interest in agriculture and play Farm Sim occasionally, just wanted to get an idea of what's actually out there past the promo vids of the latest and greatest :)

    Typical power/size vs. acreage?

    Hey all, I hope you don't mind indulging this non-farmer but I'm very curious about the typical size and power of tractors - plus the size of implements - you use vs. the size of fields/farm that you're working on? I've been reading through a lot of machinery threads and trying to collate the...
