Why no John Deer?

[RavenHawk]

Ok I have to be honest. I love John Deer and thet fact there is none in the game is pretty bad. I like Case but prefer John Deer. Is ther any hope that they may have a john deer dlc in the future.

Will never, ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever happen. Thankfully. JD have their own game, john deere drive green, and while they have that they wont sell the licencing to any one. Or thats at least thats what i was lead to belive. It may just be that if their not the main focus of the game, their not interested.

These kind of post have come up alot, ever since the first FS and I've never understood the attraction with JD. Sure some of their older stuff is good, have a soft spot for older things, but now-a-days its seems theres brands out there that will do the same job for a lower cost. Some one once said to me JD are harley davidsons of the agricultual world. The thing is about HD is they use their name to sell their products and they spend more time in the garage than they do on the road.

But each to their own I suppose

And how much of the crap is he going to have to sift through before he finds one that actually works? Biggest problem with that site is that it tells you nothing about the mod. Just shows pictures and gives you a description of the mod.

I'll also put a quote from a comment made on that site: 'Pretty bad that out of all the tractors released so far as Mods I have not found one John Deere mod that works as well as the vanilla tractors'

Thank you all for the input! I am new to farm simulator and have decided to go with case as my main tractors for the game. New Holland looks promising though. I might evev try them out. Comie C6 is a joke LOL. looks like a german rip off new holland
and created a half breed combine.

The 5055 and 6130 JD's are the best ones I have found for tractors. I would love a good 7, 8 and 9 series. But I can not find any quality ones, heck I cain't find any that have true duel tires (tires that have collision and leave traces). I'm really hoping some come out of the mod competition.

Case is the primary tractor on my farm because of this. I like my farmer to be dedicated to a brand, would love that to be John Deere, but untill I can find some good heavy tractors I'll be sticking with Case. Can find amazing Case mods all day long....

+1 on those two JD mods....I'm playing Old Family Farm using as much JD as possible. Most of the 7 and 8 series tractors have big problems. There's a 4x series mod out there that's pretty good. The Model T is a hoot (great putt putt sound file), but it is basically good for pulling a small tipper and that's about it.
