A lot of other additions and quality-of-(farming)-life improvements are included, too. If you're connected to the internet, the patch should be downloaded and installed automatically before the game is launched. 

New Brand and Machines


Dutch manufacturer Ploeger is introduced with the second content update, adding its latest four-wheeled manure spreader - that is yet to be introduced to the market. Yes, you can operate it in the game before it's fertilizing real soil! Find all new additions below. 

  • Plöger AT 5104 LNMS
  • HARDI NAVIGATOR 4000

  • Krampe Big Body 750 S

Especially harvesting enthusiasts have something else to look forward to: With the Fendt IDEAL PL and Massey Ferguson IDEAL PL also comes an exciting feature: Electric slope compensation allows the header of various harvesters to dynamically adjust itself to sloped terrain.

If you get the new machines at the dealership, you'll also notice Motorex being present: The "Oil of Switzerland" is now an official partner of Farming Simulator. More improvements and bug fixes included in the patch enhance the virtual farming experience.
