Good review of interesting hardware. Disappointed that they don't supply velcro strips (or something) to help anchor the foot pedals. Looking forward to your user review.
Loving the farm stick and wheel setup kit TM have totally taken the esthetics of farm sim to whole new level which is what I like for my setup so I have decided to invest in getting the whole kit, thankfully now can use just one stick rather than the duals, although like yourself I use both when logging
Thanks for the very quick first look! Promising indeed! If you would make a in depth review later, i would be interested in the following: - How does it work if you switch vehicles reguarly? Like from working on a tractor, to a harvester, to a telehandler, to a logging crane. Would you be able to do that with one device? - How would it work with two joysticks? One on the default controls, one with custom controls maybe? - Is there an option to use a button as a 'shift', so you get have twice the amount of buttons available? That would be very handy for things like 'Lift all implements', 'Activate all implements'. But also for crane work, you could use the shift button to use the joystick axis for a different action.
This would be great except I play on the couch in my living room. Suppose my wife would be ok with me setting all this up in front of the couch? 🤣 Great video as always
I got the same wheel for Christmas a couple of years ago when it just came out I love it it’s an awesome wheel I love all the buttons that it has because I don’t have a shifter, button box, joystick and all that so it’s nice to set all of that up!
Thanks for this FSG. Looks very nice. My 16000s are worn out so its going to be interesting to see how this new stick compares once its been used and opnions are given. Will be the decider for when I replace mine.
I was hoping when Thrustmaster sponsored the farming league, it meant theyd be releasing a new farming controller. Ive even thought about adapting a flight HOTAS but this seems like basically the same but more customized
Can you share where you purchased the stands that you mounted the Farmstick to? Just purchased today and like the way you have yours set up. Thanks for all the videos! - Adam from Indiana
I've read that the steering kit is incompatible with anything other than the T128 and T248 which cost $200 and $400 respectively, and honestly I feel that TM really dropped the ball on that as I would believe that a significant portion of people who would buy it already have a wheel they like and probably aren't going to buy another one just the mount, especially for the truck sim guys that have sim rigs, here's to hoping Thrustmaster releases a universal mount plate in the future
It’s business right, they want to sell more wheels too, the T128 and 248 are popular wheels so that audience is one market, the other is people willing to buy a new wheel. I doubt they’ll make a universal mount that works with competitors wheels.
Are you still planning to do a full review of the new Simtask joystick? I was short on funds (out of stock everywhere), and Thrustmaster has no word on a restock date for stores.
I've heard nothing from any sources on a restock, I found one overseas, and ordered it, but it's going to take a while to arrive. Did you leave all the buttons to their default settings, or re-map some?
Looks awesome! 😃 But I still have my old but trusty Logitech HEB. And as long as it lasts I don't want another wheel. 😉 But if the moment should come that I have to do a change Thrustmaster will be the next one in line, I guess... Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Hi, I saw a thrustmaster on target for like diesel trucks. Like Optimus prime. But, am sure if it's the whole setup or just the wheel and bracket. Is this the same thing?
Thanks for review. Finally we have some alternative to Logitech Saitek panel with better joystick I hope. As you mentioned G920 .. do you think / can test/ if that G920/G923 will fit to that metal cradle to adjust wheel position for heavy equipment sims like FS / Snowrunnner etc. ?
@@TheFarmSimGuy I know what's written on lable, but maybe the mounting holes for base are somehow standardized, or space between vertical sides is big enough to handle G923 even if I would need to drill new holes. That was sort of point of my question.
What's the unit to the left of your desk pad in the first part of your video (maybe on your "work desk")? I assume it's a streaming/recording/level controller of some sort but I can't quite make out the name in the video. Thanks for all you do!
If you do something great, I'd love to see it. I find the f1 screen very confusing telling me what to hit on the wheel to get what I want.@@TheFarmSimGuy
It ll depends on what you want to display, or what screen you are using, I'm still using mine and elements like turning lights on and seeing how full your hopper or trailer is are still useful
i like this joystick looks very nice, but i will wait for a bit until the hori one is out to see how that one is before i upgrade from the logitech sidepanel.
The Hori is definitely higher quality. Also, unlike the side panel, it has a number of controls on the joystick unit which are not buttons. I've only gotten to play with it an hour so far (it arrived today), but so far I am very impressed.
Hi FSG and community. Just wondering if you have tried this setup with a secondary joystick or if uou reverted back you your old configuration. I'm brand new ti Farming Sim and I'm looking at options for hardware. I have also seen the Hort gear but unfortunately there's nowhere ti see them in person that I can find before I buy something. TIA.
I have not yet, but I've not found a need for it, other than logging or a skid steer everything I need is on the one stick. I've jsut reverted to using my wheel for movement on the odd occasion I'm in an excavator or skid steer
Been using the farmstick for 4 months now and the thumb stick gets stuck to the right and the button in the centre of the bottom left row sticks. Nothing been spilt on it. Love the product but annoying faults
I have the Thrustmaster farm stick, no, I have a problem. I have all the default settings, but the clamp does not open, which settings should I change?
Do UK/EU tractors use a foot gas pedal? My biggest complaint with these peripherals is that they don't function like an actual tractor, at least in the US/CA. US tractors don't have a gas pedal, all momentum is done with the joystick throttle and engine speed throttle. It took a couple mods and a lot of custom key mapping on the heavy equipment side deck to get an almost similar experience to the real thing, but could be easily solved by Thrustmaster by including at least 1 throttle on the joystick that could be mapped to acceleration.
ty, so I can unplug the steering wheel set it on the ground (same with joy stick) run a different game (say COD), and then re-plug in the wheel, pedals, and joystick and It will not cause problems?@@TheFarmSimGuy
I was wondering why supporter dropped off for my Saitek button box. Now I know. I always wondered why the buttons would not map properly on FS22. Typical of Giants.
I don't think Giants have changed them. when you plug in the Thrustmaster Joystick it'll recognise it and add that config, there's no requirement to remove existing configs
Hi just a quick question do you know if the Logitech g920 would slot in by any chance and also what pedal settings do you use and mappings for the pedals as I set it up with accelerator forwards and the brake as the brake but when I use the brake it goes in to reverse and almost have to stand on my pedal to go backwards. I have the g920 too so if you are able to share how to set up pedals properly and also if the g920 would be possible to go in the steering mount. Thanks
No the G920 won’t fit, it’s designed to only work with Thrustmaster wheels. As for you going into reverse when you hit the brake, you have two options, remove the spring in the brake pedal, or remap brake to your clutch pedal
Hi.. does anyone know when the Simtask Farmstick will be available in the UK? All outlets saying out of stock.. even Thrustmaster? Tried their contact form etc but my phone isn’t having it 😁
Hi FarmSim Guy. Quick question. I play using a PS5 controller on my PC. To look around, I use my right thumbstick to look around and my left thumbstick to move when I'm walking around with my player. What do you use to do this if you have a steering wheel and Thrustmaster joystick? Thanks!
Do you have a link or product info for your joystick mount that your using? I'm sure it'd probably been asked before but i coun't find it linked / mentioned anywhere. Thanks
SO I have a question? I have a Fanatec csl elite do you think it would fit in the mount room wise with some hole drilling? Didn't want to buy a whole new wheel base if I can avoid it.
I doubt it unless you have about a 1 inch gap between the desk and tray, that's roughly how high the top of the wheel bracket is when attached to the desk
Awesome. Can I farm with you in the future. Doesn't have to be live or anything. I just want someone to farm with. Lol. Gets bored farming alone all the time.

Hi, they are from Aamzon, just search for Thrustmaster joystick desk clamps
Wish I had room for that, looks great. And don't you dare blame that wheel for your driving again. Lol
But… it’s the wheel Cranky 😂
Very nice setup, congrats! Your channel is amazing 👍🏻 I'm using g29 with Logitech extreme pro.
That’s an awesome setup too, very nice 👍
This gave me an IDEA. Using a HOTAS for hydrostat transmissions in the game.
FINALLY some farming joysticks, i love it !
Nice video and nice presentation and nice piece of equipment from Thrustmaster FSG. But you can do the same thing with a simple $20 joystick.
Hey Mr P, nice to hear from you. I totally agree. You can indeed.

I've got the t128 steering wheel for £110 and we'll worth it but that's just the wheel and pedals
a fan of a good lengh........
good to see the new kit seems to be a real step up, nice work.
I did have a good laugh to myself in the edit about that one 😂
I have the Thrustmaster T300 wheel base it is belt driven and very quiet, i dont know how much more expensive it is from the T248 though.
Looks nice. Would be even beter if thrustmaster had a bigger size wheel for FS and ETS
Are you still planning to do a full review of the new Simtask joystick? I was short on funds (out of stock everywhere), and Thrustmaster has no word on a restock date for stores.
I will once I've played with it a bit more, I've heard dates of March before they are back in stock but don't have any official news
Hi there,are u going to do a quick mapping guide for the farm stick plz,or could u post a few pics of the key binding u use plz many thxs
Yes video coming soon 👍
Thxs for the fast reply,look forward to it cheers
I’m still using a controller but this setup makes me wanna spent some money. 😁
I've heard nothing from any sources on a restock, I found one overseas, and ordered it, but it's going to take a while to arrive. Did you leave all the buttons to their default settings, or re-map some?
I left everything as default, there are two buttons that are left free for you to map as you choose too 👍
hi thanks for a great video. so you have a small screen with your vehicle speed it is from the sim dashboard. so you have 2. ?
Yeah running 2 works great 👍
Savage setup farmsim.. can i ask where you got the holder for the joystick??
Thanks Evan, appraciate it, Link is in the description 👍
Looks awesome! 😃
But I still have my old but trusty Logitech HEB.
And as long as it lasts I don't want another wheel. 😉
But if the moment should come that I have to do a change

Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Good choice!
Hi, I saw a thrustmaster on target for like diesel trucks. Like Optimus prime. But, am sure if it's the whole setup or just the wheel and bracket. Is this the same thing?
