The Farm Machinery ATS expansion brings comprehensive agricultural equipment to American Truck Simulator, enabling players to transport various farming implements and machinery across rural America while engaging in authentic farming logistics operations.

Agricultural Equipment Collection

This detailed DLC features twelve different farming machines including modern tractors, combine harvesters, balers, plows, and specialized planting equipment. The collection represents major agricultural brands with accurate models and specifications that mirror real-world farming equipment used across American farmlands.

Farming Equipment Specifications

Each piece of farm machinery maintains realistic dimensions and weights, with tractors ranging from 75 to 350 horsepower, combine harvesters featuring appropriate cutting widths and grain tank capacities, and balers designed for specific crop types including hay, straw, and silage bales.

Seasonal Farming Operations

Players participate in seasonal agricultural logistics corresponding to real farming calendars. Spring operations focus on transporting planting equipment and fertilizers, summer involves crop maintenance machinery, while autumn centers around harvest equipment and grain transport to storage facilities.

Crop-Specific Equipment

The expansion includes specialized machinery for different crop types. Grain crops require combine harvesters and grain carts, while hay and forage operations need balers and forage harvesters. Specialty crops like cotton and potatoes have dedicated harvesting equipment with unique transport requirements.

Technical Requirements

This agricultural content requires 1.8GB of storage space and maintains full compatibility with all truck models. Advanced physics simulation ensures realistic handling of wide loads and heavy equipment, with special attention to weight distribution and securing requirements for different machinery types.

Visual Detail and Authenticity

All farming equipment features high-quality textures showing manufacturer details, operational wear, and authentic color schemes. Animated components include folding implements, adjustable harvesting headers, and functional hydraulic systems that enhance the visual realism during loading and transport.

Economic System Integration

Farm machinery transport contracts offer varied payment structures based on equipment value, transport distance, and delivery urgency. Players can specialize in agricultural logistics, building reputation with farming cooperatives and equipment dealerships for premium contracts and recurring business opportunities.

Geographical Operations

The Farm Machinery ATS content operates primarily in agricultural regions across all game maps. Key operational areas include the Midwest grain belt, California Central Valley, Texas plains, and emerging agricultural regions in northwestern states.

Multiplayer Farming Operations

Agricultural equipment transports work seamlessly in convoy mode, allowing coordinated deliveries of multiple machinery pieces to large farming operations. Seasonal farming events enable community participation in virtual harvest seasons and equipment deployment operations.

Realistic Logistics Challenges

Transporting farm machinery presents unique challenges including oversized load permits, route planning for wide equipment, and careful handling of delicate harvesting components. Players must consider low bridges, narrow rural roads, and seasonal weather conditions affecting transport operations.

Future Development Potential

The expansion framework supports additional farming equipment and agricultural features. Planned enhancements include more specialized implements, additional crop varieties, and expanded farming region coverage as new agricultural areas are added to the game world.

The Farm Machinery ATS expansion deepens the agricultural simulation aspect of American Truck Simulator, providing comprehensive farming equipment transport opportunities for players interested in rural logistics and farming operations.
