Been playing for a few days on PC now. Very addictive. Especially with a few mods enabled!
Can't wait for a few new maps to come out.

I have it! laugh

What are you meant to do? How do you get into doing work for your neighbours, ie making money?!

Also, my PS4 copy came with a free New Holland T7, I can see it in the shop but I have to buy it, is that right?

You go to the blue icon in the corner of the field. Get out of your vehicle and you can then open the job.

My son has got the previous version - a slight 'cheat' which may still work on this new version is to buy as many solar panels as you can - then accelerate the time and leave it overnight to accrue money.

I had my ACL rebuilt last year so was off my feet for a few weeks. Farming simulator got me through it.

Making money is difficult, I found the best way is to just grow grass. Cut it, collect it with the big collector trailer, take it to the recycling place, turn it into sylage and then I had a load of conveyors to automatically load the incinerator. Made shed loads of money but became a bit tedious, especially as you have to collect every bit of grass yourself frown

I've not played it for a while but did get massively hooked!

Deffo do the solar panel thing above, then when you have enough money get in to wind turbines £££££££££££££££

Some silage tips, if you grow maize (I think) rather than grass you can get a self propelled forage harvester, hire a worker to drive that and then for carting use the MAN truck with Krampe trailer. For levelling the clamp, don't bother with normal tractors, the levelling tools or diggers! Wazz the trailer in as hard as you can and tip wherever it lands! Then roll it with the big eastern European tractor, it's ace and goes anywhere!

Have a look at the other maps too, the downloadable ones are pretty good.
