Tractors
 | Massive 155 Price: 45 000 Euros Power: 155 BHP Transmission: manual Max. speed: 41 km/h The basic tractor of very low power, accelerates slowly and has a manual transmission - not recommended. |
 | Massive 266 Price: 65 000 Euros Power: 180 BHP Transmission: manual Max. speed: 41 km/h A bit better (more powerful) than the previous model, but more expensive, at the same time. The downside is also the transmission, and low power. |
 | V2-Q Monticola Price: 55 000 Euros Power: 130 BHP Transmission: CVT Max. speed: 35 km/h The basic carrier for straw bales, has good acceleration and is maneuverability - very good for loading bales onto the trailer. |
 | V2-Q Price: 85 000 Euros Power: 200 BHP Transmission: CVTx2 Max. speed: 46 km/h A very god, medium-class tractor with quite high power (which allows you to use freely a bit bigger equipment), high acceleration, good maneuverability and maximum speed -RECOMMENDED as the basic tractor, throughout the first phase of gameplay. |
 | Friend Lifter PRO Price: 50 000 Euros Power: 120 BHP Transmission: CVT Max. speed: 32 km/h The cheapest forklift with speed and power a bit lower than that of the V2-Q Monticola.
|
 | Friend 4990 Price: 125 000 Euros Power: 280 BHP Transmission: CVTx2 Max. speed: 46 km/h A perfect high-end tractor. Large power (uses the biggest cultivators and trailers without any problems), good acceleration and good top speed. When its power is taken into consideration, the price is not that steep. I recommend it for the further stages of the game. |
 | Charles C600s Price: 40 000 Euros Power: 140 BHP Transmission: CVT Max. speed: 37 km/h The cheapest automatic transmission tractor. With its price, high power, acceleration and speed taken into consideration. At the beginning of the game, it is a good idea to consider selling the Lindner Geotrac 114 and buying this one. |
 | Lindner Geotrac 114 Price: 40 000 Euros Power: 180 BHP Transmission: manual Max. speed: 41 km/h This tractor is in your possession since the beginning of the game. It has decent power and high top speed but, its downside is its manual transmission. |
 | Lindner Geotrac 134ep Price: 125 000 Euros Power: 360 BHP Transmission: manual Max. speed: 41 km/h The only thing that makes it different from the previous model is its power and... the price... For 125 000 Euros, you can buy a way better equipment. Recommended only for the proponents of manual transmission |
 | John Deere Model B Price: 45 000 Euros Power: 120 BHP Transmission: manual Max. speed: 20 km/h An antique 1934 model, which made it into the game only as a curiosity. I do not recommend this one for field work but, it needs to be admitted that it gains the top speed of 20km/h pretty quickly. It can be of use if parked next to the farming store - thanks to this, you will make it very quickly to the store, to make necessary purchases. |
Harvesters
 | Massive A25 Price: 170 000 Euros Power: 150 BHP Grain tank capacity: 5600 Transmission: CVT Harvesting speed: 12 km/h (Cruise control 2) Max. speed: 35 km/h The available harvesting assemblies are 5,5 m (for 14 000 Euros) up to 12,2 m (for 50 000 Euros) long. The available corn heads have the speed of 6 rows (for 30 000 Euros) up to 12 rows (for 45 000). A pretty expensive harvester, given its power. Has pretty low acceleration. Has a small grain tank. Still, the upside of harvester from this producer is that you can buy corn heads. |
 | Massive A75 Price: 190 000 Euros Power: 150 BHP Grain tank capacity: 7000 Transmission: CVT Harvesting speed: 12 km/h (Cruise control 2) Max. speed: 35 km/h (with the harvesting assembly up) The harvesting assemblies are identical with the ones described for the Massive A25. This harvester is almost twin-identical with the above model. For a grain tank bigger by a half, you need to pay 20 000 Euros more. It is the best one for harvesting corn (due to the tank capacity and the width of the available attachments). |
 | Defier 180 Price: 130 000 Euros Power: 150 BHP Grain tank capacity: 5000 Transmission: CVT Harvesting speed: 12 km/h (cruise control 2) Max. speed: 35 km/h (with the harvesting assembly up) The available harvesting assemblies are from 4.2 m (for 10 000 Euros) up to 10.6 m (for 40 000 Euros) wide so, they are smaller by 1.5 m than in competition. There are no corn heads. though. The cheapest harvester, good to make a start, especially with a wider harvesting assembly. Unfortunately, if you want to start growing corn, this model does not offer any corn heads. Apart from that, the widest harvesting assembly is narrower by 1.5 m than in the Massive harvesters. Cheap, but not that useful in the long run.
|
 | Defier 281 Price: 150 000 Euros Power: 150 BHP Grain tank capacity: 7000 Transmission: CVT Harvesting speed: 12 km/h (cruise control 2) Max. speed: 35 km/h (with the harvesting assembly up) The harvesting assemblies are identical with the ones described for the Defier 180. Its grain tank is a bit larger than in the case of the lower model. The rest of the parameters are nearly identical. It is, however, worth noting that the grain unloader spout is very long, which makes it easy to drive up to it on a tractor with trailer.
|
 | Charles Appaloosa 240 Price: 250 000 Euros Power: 220 BHP Grain tank capacity: 12333 Transmission: CVT Harvesting speed: 12 km/h (cruise control 2) Max. speed: 35 km/h (with the harvesting assembly up) The available harvesting assemblies range from 4,6 m (for 11 000 Euros) to 12,2 m (for 50 000 Euros). the available corn heads harvest from 4 rows (for 25 000 Euros) to 6 rows (for 30 000). Easy to use, high-powered with good acceleration, plus a gigantic grain tank. Unfortunately, it also has its price but, it is worthwhile to buy it once you have developed your business. Still, I do not recommend this one for corn - its corn head is too narrow. For that, it is better if you buy Massive A75. Still, this model works well with all other types of produce, including wheat and soybeans.

Grain Trailers
 | Krampe BigBody 460 Price: 15 000 Euros Capacity: 14 000 The basic trailer from this producer, which you own at the beginning of the game. It will suffice for quite a portion of the game. Rear-unloaded. |
 | Krampe BigBody 500 Price: 17 000 Euros Capacity: 16 000 A bit bigger than the initial model. After some time, you can consider buying either this one, or the bigger Fliegl DDK240-6.20. Rear-unloaded. |
 | Krampe BigBody 650 Price: 22 000 Euros Capacity: 21 000 The biggest trailer available in the game. To pull this one, it is better to use a bigger tractor. Rear-unloaded. |
 | Fliegl DK80 Price: 9 000 Euros Capacity: 6 150 If you compare the capacity to its price, and to the other trailers, or the one that you receive at the beginning, a completely unprofitable choice. Moreover, its capacity is just a bit bigger than of the grain tank in the most basic harvester. Side-unloaded. |
 | Fliegl DK180 Price: 14 000 Euros Capacity: 14 150 A bit better choice. You should take it into consideration as one of the basic purchases. You can load almost three grain tanks, of the smallest harvester, onto this trailer. Side-unloaded. |
 | Fliegl DDK240-6.20 Price: 18 000 Euros Capacity: 18 200 A big trailer of considerable capacity. Quite a good choice. Side-unloaded. |
Plows
 | Lemken Juvel 8 V N90 Price: 12 000 Euros The basic plow that you own at the beginning of the game. Unfortunately, its working width is not satisfactory, which is why you need to spend some time at plowing. |
 | Lemken Eurospal 8 N90 Price: 20 000 Euros Its working width is, at least, by a third greater than that of the above, thanks to which you spend less time plowing. It is a good idea to obtain one quickly but, keep in mind that you need a stronger tractor for this on also. |
Cultivators
 | Horsch Terrano 3 FX Price: 20 000 Euros The basic cultivator, which you own from the beginning of the game. Its working width is small so, you need a lot of time to cultivate the entire field. |
 | Horsch Terrano 4 FX Price: 30 000 Euros Although it is more expensive than Horsch Terrano 3 FX by a half, its working width is a bit higher. Not worth buying.
|
 | Horsch Terrano 5 FX Price: 60 000 Euros Discernibly wider but also more expensive. It is the most expensive of the available ones, but not the widest. You can consider buying it, but it is not recommended. |
 | Horsch Jocker 3 CT Price: 20 000 Euros The working width is comparable to that of Horsch Terrano 3 FX so, if you want to upgrade your equipment, do not buy it. |
 | Horsch Jocker 6 CT Price: 30 000 Euros An ideal cultivator, if you take its working width and its price. A bit wider than Horsch Terrano 5 FX, and half as expensive. What is more, you can operate it with a medium-sized tractor, e.g. V2-Q without any problems. I recommend this one.
|
 | Horsch Jocker 10 RT Price: 50 000 Euros The cultivator of the widest working surface. It is huge and it is better to use some of the high-end tractors to operate it e.g. Friend 4990. I recommend that you buy it after you have considerably expanded your farm.
|
Straw bale trailers
 | Fliegl ZPW 100 Price: 8 000 Euros The basic straw bale trailer. Not worth buying. It is very small.
|
 | Fliegl DPW 180 Price: 12 000 Euros If you are going to collect and sell bales, this is your basic choice. It can hold, around, 6 straw bales.
|
 | Fliegl DPW 240 Price: 16 000 Euros This trailer allows loading two rows of bales yet, this is more difficult to pull off. Bringing the fully-loaded trailer to the collection point takes a miracle worker. |
Seed drills, sprayers and straw presses
 | Amazone D9 4000 special Price: 15 000 Euros The basic seed drill of small working width.
|
 | Amazone D9 60 special Price: 40 000 Euros A seed drill, which is wider than the basic one by a half. It pays off to buy this one quite early into the game, to make field works faster. |
 | Rauch AXIS-H 30.1 Price: 30 000 Euros Capacity: 480 The basic sprayer for feltilizers. You own it from the beginning of the game. It has wide range of spraying so, you can use it for quite long, until you replace the remaining machinery with better models.
|
 | Rauch TWS 7000 Price: 60 000 Euros Capacity: 1200 Very expensive with negligible usefulness, in comparison with the basic sprayer. Its working width is just a bit bigger than the initial one. Obtaining this one is sensible in the case of larger fields (3 ha and bigger). It is no use spending that much money earlier.
|
 | Friend 1219 Price: 20 000 Euros The only straw press that makes cylindrical bales. You own it from the beginning of the game. |
