I'm on team keep all 3 tractors. You don't really have a need for all of them now, but you will soon and it's also nice to have tractors of varying sizes for different jobs. The Valtra is definitely a keeper for carting jobs too. Every KM/h is important on those multiple trip carting jobs and there's no Fastracks anymore If it was my playthrough, the JD would be the first tractor I sell, and that's only after I had the cashflow for a telehandler. Especially with the addition of the Merloe. That thing is such a versitile machine
Definitely keep all 3 for now. Use the Agro for most tasks to avoid the high repair cost to the Valtra for now. Only use Valtra for high horsepower requirements and transportation. Sell the Deere for either a forklift or telehandler in the near future. Buy a 2nd silage pit.
Great vid. I would keep all 3 tractors for now, but considering the upkeep costs of the Valtra, I would be selective about what I use it for. The Agrostar has low hours and enough HP to satisfy most tasks, greatly reducing the upkeep costs compared to the Valtra. If you don't need the higher HP, don't use the higher HP. For now, I would mostly use the Valtra for the silage pit (where it handles better than the other tractors) and hauling (for the higher traveling speeds). The main reason I would keep the Valtra around is when the farm expands further and larger implements, with higher HP demands, start looking more tempting. Especially considering what you paid for it, the Valtra will be a great jump start to larger scale farming when the time comes. There's no point in expanding if you can't utilize the new farmland, and the cost of each plot remains constant. There's my two cents anyway. Loving the series and can't wait to see where it goes. Merry Christmas
A+ on the fields. I absolutely loved how good you made that look. The rule of thumb I've seen for tractors and maintenance costs is that the cost effectiveness starts its decline at 40 hours, and between 40-50 it will become more worth selling for a newer one. I definitely say keep the valtra for now because it will make the silage much easier to manage. Id also say dont upgrade it and wait for a better tractor with lower hours to come up in the used shop. Even if you have to pay more, it will be slightly offset with the sell of the valtra and a silage harvest. As you move forward, the only real money in harvesting comes from planting soybeans. So id say do what you want to do and keep the silage to fund it because unless you get a large enough field, silage will be the money maker for now. Fun tip, those 4 fields you said you would like to put together will yield approximately 90k liters of soybeans😂. Love the series man! Great work
Appreciate the time you take to make the edging look good on your fields, so many other content creators don’t take the time to do the cosmetic things to make their fields/yards look good. Awesome to see huge fan of the series!
For sure keep all 3! Each one is good for different jobs like you said, and you're not hurting for money so why not lol. I think you should for sure buy field 31 and make that grass to complete that whole section, then work towards buying everything on the other side of the road for the homestead like you want! Can't wait for the next episode!
You will DEFINITELY want to keep all three tractors. In fact, you may look to buy another medium one too! After all, workers can't do work if you do not have a tractor available for them. PLUS, you will find you will use one of the mediums for certain types of jobs and the other for other jobs. As for the tractors: Small: Great for getting in and around small places and loading boxes, bales and crates. They are also perfect for light duty jobs, such as: weeding, mowing and fertilizing. Medium: The perfect all-purpose, do anything tractor. Sure, they can do ALMOST ANYTHING a large tractor can do, provided you have a proper sized engine. If you are getting a medium tractor, do not buy anything less than 225 hp. If you already have a medium, with hp less than 225, trade it in on something with a better engine. Large: Your heavy-duty workhorse. Although a decently powered medium can do much of it, you will notice some sluggishness and laboring on the heaviest jobs. Large tractors are ideal for plowing, subsoilers. towing heavy loads and dragging around massive trees. I own 2 small and 2 medium (will be buying a large when I can afford one). Each tractor has their own type of job. One of the small tractors is almost exclusively for simply running around the farm doing one errand or the next, loading crates, pushing equipment, storing items, etc. Two tricks for making sure your new plowed fields have edges that are as straight and pristine as possible and look as if they were placed there by the developers: Both involve the landscaping tool. 1. Be sure to lay out your field first, before plowing, to make sure you are starting with the exact shape and size you want. Go to the landscaping tool, select the type of surface (I usually use dirt). Enlarge it to the largest setting and simply plot your field. Doing this gives to a border/edge to follow, when plowing. 2. When you are done plowing, it's almost impossible to have a perfectly clean and pristine new field. Once again, go back to the landscaping tool, select your surface and only enlarge it a little bit... Not too big, but not so small you can't work with it. Simply follow the border of your newly plowed field to neaten everything up. (In my case, I may do it twice. The first time I use grass, expanded out 3-4 times. The 2nd time, I expand out only 2-3 times and use dirt. The grass edges and sets the exact boundary of the field. The dirt does the exact same thing, just not as wide. Picture a big, freshly plowed field... but it's not very straight and a bit jagged on the ends. Go around the field with square, 4' X 4' bolts of grass, lined up perfectly, end to end, right at the very edge of your field. Now your field looks exactly like you want it to look, with crisp clean edges. HOWEVER, a dirt/soil field, lined perfectly with grass? Do it again, this time using 2' x 2' square blocks of dirt. Simple do exactly what you did with the grass and place the dirt at the same field edge, right over the grass you just put down. Doing this, I have a freshly plowed new field, edged by a thin band of dirt that blends into a thin band of grass (Grass, or whatever matches the ground... gravel, asphalt... whatever) I really hope I painted a picture, with my words, of what I am trying to convey.
Keep all 3. I love having options and the chance of setting up AI with a different job with a capable machine. Also for the repair bill, imagine 10% you just have to re grease your bearings. But 40% you have to change them. A maintenance bill is always less than a repair bill.
After reading through comments it seems like it's probably the best idea to keep them all, for now, but sell the Valtra as it gets to the 50 hour mark on it's clock. Because it's already got so many hours on it it probably isn't worth upgrading as you're thinking but it is absolutely a benefit for your silage! I wouldn't worry too much about money, that silage is going to be worth a bundle when you sell it. I LOVE your attention to detail on joining those fields, by the way! It made my OCD brain very happy lol. Great videos! I always love coming on to RUclips and seeing another post from you!
Definitely keep all 3; you can put them all to use. Like you said, more money can just be made. You can even have the option to upgrade that Valtra all the way to 420 HP which will get you pretty far with most of the implements you’ll need. You can always sell the Valtra once it gets higher hours and upgrade to an even more intense 500-700hp tractor later on. Great series; one of my favorite on YT (I also like that you don’t use obnoxious pop music with lyrics on the tome lapses and usually just have nice instrumentals) keep it up. Cheers.
Thoroughly enjoying the series. Upgraded from an Agrostar 8.31 to a Massey Ferguson 9S. I didn’t need the MF at the time, but there was a good deal on one and as much as I liked the Agrostar I wanted something with an upgrade path. I didn't sell the Agrostar star off right away, but it wasn't getting used much and when a used Bednar seeder dropped on the market it was time to say goodbye to the old work horse.
Definitely keep all 3 till you have a decent cash flow . Then sell the John deer try and get a Tele handler like the Merloe . And look into getting goats . The milk itself is a big seller. Even at it low.
Yup, I'm on board with keeping all 3. As you buy bigger stuff, that valtra will become more and more useful. For now, dont use it much when you dont need to. I also highly suggest buying a small workshop considering your plans to do consistent maintenance on the equipment to avoid steep increases in repair costs. Just like the fuel tank you got, it'll be SOOO nice having it right at your farm to conveniently keep things in tip-top shape!
@syrupgames I figured that was what you were waiting on. I'd get one of the big pretty looking workshops on the actual homestead property, but also one of the cheap mini workshop mods for where you are now. One like the "Simple Pallet Workshop" mod for $700, or the "Small Workshop" mod for $2500. Something Small and cheap just for quick general upkeep on your equipment, to go with your fuel tank and pressure washer.
I love the VALTRA tractors. I am currently using 2 Series S on the New Frontiers Map. The first tractor I ever bought in any FS game was the VALTRA N series. It is the BEST small tractor in FS22 for sure. The in cab view is great, and I love how VALTRAS can swap driving directions. They are reasonably priced for what you get, and upgrade well. If you do sell that one due to high hours, I would replace it with a new Series S with all the bells and whistles. Will cost about $329k with all the goodies, but well worth it IMO. Until better tractor mods arrive, I will be rocking the VALTRA for sure.
Regarding the farm - maybe consider buying the starter farm near fields 45 and 46? You could sell all the structures (perhaps leave the silos?) for extra profit and build up the farm on your own terms. Oh, regarding the tractors - imho keep them all until you can afford to excahnge John Deere for a telehandler.
I would keep all 3. dont upgrade the valtra and sell it at 50 or 60 hours . Keep a look out for a telehandler to sell the John Deere. That way you keep your fleet up to date ;) Greetings from Belgium
Still watching but I wanted to comment on the tractors: I'd suggest you keep all 3... I would use the small one run around doing small things, let the Agrostar do contract with some AI worker, and do stuff with the new big one myself... Great video so far, will edit if I want to add anything...
Nice choice. Valtra is bang for the buck. But, I would suggest you to sell it before 50hr mark because repairing could be frequent at that point. For repair cost ... as far as i remember, damage up to 25% is 1% of the vehicle's/equipment's value and cost percentage will gradually increase when you hit 50%,75% and 100% damage. So, it is wise and economical to repair just before 25% damage on everything.
Regarding the silage leveler: My experience with the levelers has not been favorable. They work well for leveling but using them seems to delete chaff during their function. I've lost thousands of chaff leveling the larger (but not the largest) silo. I'm not as proficient with the loaders like you are, but I still think the loss will be something to consider. I wonder if you'll experience the same issues with them. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I've enjoyed the series.
Perk of having an extra tractor is you can have an ai out doing some contracts while ypu load wood or pallets or something. Or you can knock out 3 contracts at once.
Thats a debacle with that Valtra. It will cost a lot to repair it but you will need more HP very soon. I'm in the same boat on my gameplay started from scratch on hard without starting equipment and zero fields. I'm on the New Frontier forestry map. I bought a used Case Puma, Volvo excavator that came up in the sale pretty early on, and a few other pieces of forestry equipment i bought new. I cant currently afford a second tractor but i intend on getting rid of my used equipment as soon as possible as they are costly to repair.
I would probably sell the new tractor. With the hours being so high, upgrading it isn't favorable, and you could really use a bailer and an auto trailer for the bails right now. Even a mower upgrade would be nice. That tractor is a great deal but the hours are too high and it's not super useful anytime soon. With those hours, saving up for a new one may be a better prospect. In the end, do what you want of course. I was only considering what I would do.
Keep all three tractors. Delite road betwen fields and make one big. Start saving and then buy fields nearby. Buy bailer. Buy transport trailer for bails. Start saving for crops busines machinery.
I was thinking about that, but it's just such a small area, I think I'm going to wait until I get the homestead started and put some animals on that land
Great video as always, i have to say that Farmland: 21 is a lot higher than the road like when you will place building or animals pen it will create level and leveling that is expensive and in my opinion is not worth the effort, i did bought that Farmland in my save and i ended up selling it later and buy the Farmland with the Farmhouse on it, the one near the shop.
I would keep all 3 tractors. Not because of any functional reason. I really got attached to the first 2 tractors and I think It would be a disservice to the machines to just "replace" them. I myself have gotten quite attached to them and would feel real bad when they are gone. Later there can be a memento for the beginning too.
Maybe the turning is tighter because of that option in the store? The reverse driving one. I guess you can drive backwards with full control like a backhoe
Love the show, keep up the good work! P.s. can anyone explain how the working hours on tractors effects its durability? Thanks😅 I would also keep all the tractors!
There is a 3 point attachment forklift for tractors works a lott better then those front loader things. Can't remember in which category you can find it.
Hey Syrup, do you have a sponsored link thing that I can buy the game with and you get some perk from it? I know some of the other larger youtubers do but rather support small. Thanks
didnt you see? lol. the valtra kost 98.000 and if you sell it without fix it sold at 108.000 about 10% and then 10% on the fix and the repaint aswel. Thats what i ment. love the serrie's
I should have got that MF 95. Instead I went for the deuts far so I think that shall be okay hopefully I can get a good deal on a large tractor again like you just got
Yeah it definitely seems to be profitable to flip used vehicles in this game. I don't really want to exploit that though because it seems a little too easy for this challenge mode...
Agrostar will be cheaper to maintain. Big tractors should be reserved for hard work (ie plow) and the agro the main work horse. The jd just makes a yard bitch and some super light work
I dont know if you just dont talk about it but ive seen other youtubers let the grass grow a month extra for taller grass and more yield. Seems to me you cut it straight away when its ready to harvest.
@@Peepdoop IIRC, there isn't really a difference. Might even be just a little worse to let it grow the extra month. It ups the yield, but you don't get as much from the extra month as you would getting an entire additional harvest that you can get by mowing as soon as it's ready
Honestly having 3 tractors is overkill in my opinion. You have real needs right now, a farm, harvester, actually owing a home, and even buying bailers. Yeah it might be nice. But that one purchase set us back minimum 2 episodes, plus harvest season is coming. I get it was a good deal. But a wise man told me in business, the world never runs out of good deals. I mean think of how many good deals you already have had just in the last 3 videos. I just feel like it was a bad decision. It definitely wasn't a "need" purchase.
@chocolatemidnitehd1891 he asked for our opinion, get over yourself. And I'm just as invested in this as he is. So I would like to see some real progress.
I'm on team keep all 3 tractors. You don't really have a need for all of them now, but you will soon and it's also nice to have tractors of varying sizes for different jobs.

^this for sure
Good advice, thanks!
Merry Christmas to you too!
I love that you take the time to make things look pretty!!! Can’t wait to see a full farm build eventually
syrup makes a tiny strip of filled-in stream bed look tidier and more intentional than any farm I've ever built
A+ on the fields. I absolutely loved how good you made that look.

Gotta have those straight edges!

Nice price on that Valtra. I use a medium Valtra with loader forks for hauling stuff to sell and loading pallets, and I love it!
Keep all 3. I love having options and the chance of setting up AI with a different job with a capable machine. Also for the repair bill, imagine 10% you just have to re grease your bearings. But 40% you have to change them. A maintenance bill is always less than a repair bill.

I'm glad you kept both. I think you'll probably appreciate it the next time you have to do a deadwood contract and need the front claw :)

Don't you ever sell the John Deere. It deserves a life long spot on the homestead. And some upgrades!!!
Haha yeah I'm kind of attached to it now!
I love the VALTRA tractors. I am currently using 2 Series S on the New Frontiers Map. The first tractor I ever bought in any FS game was the VALTRA N series. It is the BEST small tractor in FS22 for sure. The in cab view is great, and I love how VALTRAS can swap driving directions. They are reasonably priced for what you get, and upgrade well.

keep all 3. even if you don't need it now you will later and a deal like that isn't guaranteed again. enjoying the videos. keep them coming.
I would keep all 3.
dont upgrade the valtra and sell it at 50 or 60 hours .
Keep a look out for a telehandler to sell the John Deere. That way you keep your fleet up to date ;)

Beautiful field making! Keep up the awesomeness
I think it was a smart move to get that tractor considering the deal. Make hay while the sun shines.
Keep all 3. That is one heck of a deal
Awesome vids bud, loving the series!
Glad you like them!
I would keep all 3. One for the loader, one for fieldwork, and one for contracts. Keep the Valtra or Deutz as a dedicated contract tractor.
Keep them. It's a hurdle you would have had to jump eventually. It may be out of your planned sequence but you saved over 100k.
Regarding the silage leveler: My experience with the levelers has not been favorable. They work well for leveling but using them seems to delete chaff during their function.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up, I will keep an eye out for that!
Perk of having an extra tractor is you can have an ai out doing some contracts while ypu load wood or pallets or something. Or you can knock out 3 contracts at once.
Thats a debacle with that Valtra. It will cost a lot to repair it but you will need more HP very soon.

I cant currently afford a second tractor but i intend on getting rid of my used equipment as soon as possible as they are costly to repair.
I like having the three. I could see getting rid of one or two in the future if you got one with a front end loader and enough hp
Love the new tractor!!!
I would probably sell the new tractor. With the hours being so high, upgrading it isn't favorable, and you could really use a bailer and an auto trailer for the bails right now. Even a mower upgrade would be nice.
That tractor is a great deal but the hours are too high and it's not super useful anytime soon. With those hours, saving up for a new one may be a better prospect. In the end, do what you want of course. I was only considering what I would do.
Thanks for the feedback!
that was beautiful -- now u need to use ai labour more xD .. stay eco with the new big boy
good call keeping both tractors
Keep all three tractors. Delite road betwen fields and make one big. Start saving and then buy fields nearby. Buy bailer. Buy transport trailer for bails. Start saving for crops busines machinery.
Maybe get a sheep pen for the "newest" field . In the area where you have yet cleared ?
I was thinking about that, but it's just such a small area, I think I'm going to wait until I get the homestead started and put some animals on that land
Im on team "sell the Agrostar" if it means buying a baler so you stop struggling with that pit lol. Otherwise, keep them all.
Great video as always, i have to say that Farmland: 21 is a lot higher than the road like when you will place building or animals pen it will create level and leveling that is expensive and in my opinion is not worth the effort, i did bought that Farmland in my save and i ended up selling it later and buy the Farmland with the Farmhouse on it, the one near the shop.

WHOA 0:31 THATS A STEAL

Im team keep it. when you start crop fields and using workers and such having 2 capable tractors will be important.
Love the show, keep up the good work!
P.s. can anyone explain how the working hours on tractors effects its durability? Thanks😅
I would also keep all the tractors!
Yep keep em both!
keep all 3...thx for the vid m8
Thanks for the feedback!
hey, that corn seeder...u can pull it on that 2 wheels when driving to fields, have a 3 point on left side L)
Oh yeah I know you can tow that one, I just wanted to test the weight!
keep all 3 tractors, you will need 3 soon enough
There is a 3 point attachment forklift for tractors works a lott better then those front loader things. Can't remember in which category you can find it.
Will you have to use the field creator to join those 3 fields to get the ai worker to mow the whole field without stopping?
Once they are connected using the plow, the AI will recognize it all as one field
Hey Syrup, do you have a sponsored link thing that I can buy the game with and you get some perk from it? I know some of the other larger youtubers do but rather support small. Thanks
No I don't, I should probably look into that haha
didnt you see? lol. the valtra kost 98.000 and if you sell it without fix it sold at 108.000 about 10% and then 10% on the fix and the repaint aswel.
Thats what i ment.
love the serrie's
I would say sell one of the tractors and buy the bailer!
Play as you like, keep tractors you want to keep. Don't ask viewers 😉
I should have got that MF 95. Instead I went for the deuts far so I think that shall be okay hopefully I can get a good deal on a large tractor again like you just got
beauty sho bro
would it be worth it to buy the used stuff ,repair it, then sell it would the profit be there?
Yeah it definitely seems to be profitable to flip used vehicles in this game. I don't really want to exploit that though because it seems a little too easy for this challenge mode...
id keep all 3 and sell the johndeere once you can afford a telihandler or wheelloader.
i definitely say sell the agristar and buy combine imo harvest contracts will start soon.
Agrostar will be cheaper to maintain. Big tractors should be reserved for hard work (ie plow) and the agro the main work horse. The jd just makes a yard bitch and some super light work
I would keep all three. Horses for courses isn't it?
I dont know if you just dont talk about it but ive seen other youtubers let the grass grow a month extra for taller grass and more yield. Seems to me you cut it straight away when its ready to harvest.
@@Peepdoop IIRC, there isn't really a difference. Might even be just a little worse to let it grow the extra month. It ups the yield, but you don't get as much from the extra month as you would getting an entire additional harvest that you can get by mowing as soon as it's ready
In fs25 there is no extra month bonus for grass growth. Sorry there.😢
Businesswise would be better to have only two tractors for now
You're probably right from a purely financial perspective, but the Valtra has been a huge help so far. Definitely zero regrets with that purchase
Idk if one of them is a seeder but I think you have two seeders
Seeder, planter and grass roller that can seed. They're different
I actually have 3 lol, a seeder, a planter, and a grass roller/seeder combo. The roller is quickly becoming obsolete though...
Make bigger greenhouse to earn alot
I don't know if I have the room for the bigger ones right now, but I will probably do that once I start my proper homestead!
@syrupgames appreciate it mate
Tbf I've never come across a hoe that wasn't damaged.
U made 10k profit on that tractor if you sold him immediately
Ai worker for seeding whole field instead of fertal
Honestly having 3 tractors is overkill in my opinion. You have real needs right now, a farm, harvester, actually owing a home, and even buying bailers. Yeah it might be nice. But that one purchase set us back minimum 2 episodes, plus harvest season is coming. I get it was a good deal. But a wise man told me in business, the world never runs out of good deals. I mean think of how many good deals you already have had just in the last 3 videos. I just feel like it was a bad decision. It definitely wasn't a "need" purchase.
It’s his play through, not yours. You wanna do it your way? Play your own game save.
@chocolatemidnitehd1891 he asked for our opinion, get over yourself. And I'm just as invested in this as he is. So I would like to see some real progress.
