Have you pre-ordered the NEXAT Pack yet? There's still time to benefit from our pre-order discount! If you got the Year 1 Season Pass, the pack is included and will unlock on release day - March 11th.
Until then, let's take a look at the NEXAT carrier vehicle and its implements. We also talked to Karsten Göke and Jens Willeke from NEXAT to chat about agriculture, innovation, and Farming Simulator.
Join us on Twitch & YouTube when we stream live on Monday, March 10th at 6 pm CEST!
We'll be playing Farming Simulator 25 with the NEXAT Pack live and get into the details.
Depending on what you want to do on your fields, there are various combinations. Do you want to seed? Attach the NEXAT Seedhopper plus the Väderstad Inspire to the carrier vehicle! Want to harvest? NEXAT NEXCO + Geringhoff XtremeFlex!
If you want to save a lot of time by doing multiple tasks at once, you attach the NEXAT Seedhopper, the Väderstad Carrier NX, plus the Väderstad Tempo NX27. Now, you can cultivate and seed at the same time. Check out the infographics for possible combinations!
Mounting the implements is easy - especially thanks to the special mounting system that helps you to automatically align. The highlighted lines will not just guide you into position but also make it clear when you're facing it from the wrong side or angle.
What are the key goals and values of NEXAT, and how do they set the direction in today’s agricultural landscape?
Karsten: NEXAT stands for efficient and future-oriented agriculture, based on efficiency and innovation. Our system enables soil-preserving and resource-efficient operations.
The NEXAT system operates within the Wide-Span Controlled Traffic Farming system, reducing soil compaction by up to 95%, ensuring that the natural soil structure is preserved.
Jens: In a world where agriculture faces increasing demands for sustainable and cost-efficient resource use, NEXAT provides a holistic crop production system as the solution.
What are the most pressing challenges in agriculture, and how does NEXAT address them?
Karsten: Agriculture worldwide faces major challenges. Farmers must produce more food to feed a growing population - at the lowest possible production costs and in the most sustainable way.
At the same time, arable land is shrinking due to soil degradation, while climate change, with extreme weather events like droughts and heavy rainfall, further complicates food production.
Jens: NEXAT addresses these challenges with a holistic system solution using permanent tramlines within the Wide-Span Controlled Traffic system. Our modular system significantly increases efficiency through its large-scale machinery and modular design, reducing the time needed for fieldwork and thus lowering production costs.
At the same time, up to 95% of the field remains untrafficked in the NEXAT system, allowing for the development of a healthy soil structure. This improves water absorption and retention, mitigating the effects of droughts and heavy rainfall. Plants gain better access to nutrients and water. As a result, NEXAT enhances efficiency, conserves resources, and secures sustainable yields.
How does the digital representation of NEXAT machinery in Farming Simulator align with the company’s brand and strategy?
Karsten: Farming Simulator provides a fantastic platform to introduce modern and innovative agricultural technology to a broad audience in an engaging way. Our system represents a new way of farming, which can now also be experienced virtually.
Which aspects of NEXAT’s values and technology do you think resonate most with Farming Simulator players?
Jens: NEXAT expands Farming Simulator 25 with its holistic system solution and various implements, adding a new gameplay dimension. In practical terms, this means high-performance machines with intuitive operation - players will feel the efficiency gains in the fields, making the advantages of NEXAT tangible even for virtual farmers.
Another benefit: The modules are mounted rather than towed, improving maneuverability in the game. The combination of size, efficiency, and ease of use makes NEXAT a real asset for large fields.
Are there fans of the game within the company? How was the internal reaction to the integration of NEXAT machinery into Farming Simulator?
Karsten: "Yes! Bring it on!" Some of our employees are passionate gamers themselves and have been playing Farming Simulator for many years.
Jens: The excitement was enormous when we could finally confirm that NEXAT would be featured in the game. Many couldn’t wait to see and experience "their" machine in the virtual world.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with Farming Simulator fans?
Karsten: We’re absolutely thrilled that NEXAT is finally part of Farming Simulator 25! So many fans have been asking for it, and now there’s an answer to all those social media comments under our posts: “When will it be in FS?”
A huge thank you to the community - your interest and enthusiasm helped make this happen. We can’t wait to see your first experiences with our system! Have fun with NEXAT, experiment with the possibilities, and experience Wide-Span CTF in an entirely new dimension.
