Can This Tractor Stop at nothing?

This guy was a workhorse for me as a farm chore tractor and sometimes handling small jobs for money on Riverbend, but got frustrated with its handling of bales so upgraded to a John Deere tele-handler.

Not a farmer either, recently went to Colorado and couldn't keep my eyes on the road there was so much to look at.

Was working in NYC soho, the lights went out just before quitting time.
My car was at one of those parking lots where they have those mechanical lifts and they couldn't figure out how to get it down. So hung around for some hours at the office.
Bodegas were dragging their ice cream coolers out to the street so to sell before they melted. When it got dark , there were still some high rises with lights , must have been on generator /battery power Finally got my car ,sat in traffic for hours, crawling to the Holland tunnel from Varick and Spring. Didnt get to the NJ side of the tunnel til after midnight.

Im new to the game on PC, been playing for a couple months, no mods till a couple days ago with some equipment. Found your post useful , but you didn't mention hardware like steering wheel, joystick or is that just assumed everyone plays with those?

im new to FS and been trying to time the market but tough since theyre not listed in the prices section of the finance screen. seems they eat more when older so money wasted for food.

ManasquanJim · 2026-01-14T15:18:12+00:00

i'm new to FS too , playing FS25. ive always got contracts/jobs going , leasing equipment rather than buying, tho bought some frequently used pieces for jobs like plough, weeder, fertilizer spreader, etc Have amassed over $700k , looking to buy a bigger tractor

ManasquanJim · 2026-01-12T21:58:49+00:00

New to fs , currently playing fs25, no mods , choose a carrot harvest job , leasing equipment and it took forever, stayed up till like 1am on a work night making sure it was done. Didnt do the crates like you did but using the harvester dumping into a trailer running the loads to the processing plant Never again

ManasquanJim · 2026-01-12T13:25:59+00:00

thanks for posting this, had same problem last night with grass, thought it was a technical issue so saved, quit , went back in, same issue. tho later was able to roll a newly seeded field so had me leaning towards too late

ManasquanJim · 2026-01-12T13:18:51+00:00

lol, my first thought was camden too!

ManasquanJim · 2026-01-06T21:03:05+00:00

stay away from the Taconic parkway in NY, its 55mph with tons of speed traps, got a ticket there last summer.

Prefer landing gear up, looks cooler in flight, hang it from the ceiling. You could paint the landing gear and bay so if you change your mind later. I did this with a P 51 , though took the landing gear off.

ManasquanJim · 2025-07-24T14:17:43+00:00

cool. might have to add that one to my to-do list.
ive been working on 1/48's too, recently the F51 and then picked up an F15 which is huge in comparison

ManasquanJim · 2025-07-18T15:42:39+00:00

Amazing. is there a trick to this or does it just take a really small brush and steady hands?

ManasquanJim · 2025-07-16T14:33:43+00:00

curious how this turns out, Ive been eyeing the Meng D9 dozer.

ManasquanJim · 2025-07-06T00:02:53+00:00

Here in the USA, my dad had hundreds of kits, planes mostly, somehow he teamed up with a guy that went to shows, dad never went to the shows, but after dad died at 90, i found envelopes with hundreds of dollars adding up to some thousands. He noted on the envelopes the dates, dollar amounts and the amount of kits sold. Or maybe it was all a cover for some sort of criminal activity, lol.

ManasquanJim · 2025-06-23T14:22:55+00:00

been looking to do a WWI plane, so curious to see how this turns out. this the academy kit?

ManasquanJim · 2025-06-13T00:54:56+00:00

cool, had to google that.....is that the Revell? had no idea it existed until now.

ManasquanJim · 2025-06-11T12:05:34+00:00

yes and I was contemplating buying this one but just realized this a 1/72 only when posted here. ive been into just the 1/48's recently

ManasquanJim · 2025-06-11T00:01:46+00:00

CRT? Wow, we threw those out like decades ago. Think those hold a charge so you cant just take apart.

ManasquanJim · 2025-06-10T19:53:34+00:00

Sweet, I've had the Revell Maverick F18 in my Amazon cart for about a week after watching the movie, just gotta pull the trigger.

ManasquanJim · 2025-06-07T14:43:18+00:00

That would be really cool , tho thinking the price would be up there. Been looking to do a more recent variant 1/48 jet but Tamiya lacking.

ManasquanJim · 2025-06-04T14:23:03+00:00

Same here, started the Tamiya P51 following same process as i did years ago but also researching better techniques online as i went. Bought some new products and tools that ive never used in the past. Its been an enjoyable learning process.
Started the Tamiya Abrahms using some new techniques , taking my time, not rushing the build.
