On May 8 the free DLC Precision Farming 3.0 will be available on all platforms for Farming Simulator 25. The “3.0” because the DLC was first introduced to Farming Simulator 19 and even if the basic function is the same – to provide for more realistic farming mechanics such as adding different soils and more advanced fertilizing of said soils, there are also some entirely new things.
It will now be possible to make tramlines in your fields, which essentially is wheel tracks to be followed and utilised for a more precise field management (and for not wasting too much crop by driving over it with heavy tractors and equipment).
Also when planting catch crops like oilseed radish, Precision Farming 3.0 will reward the farmers with subsidies to make nitrogen-saving planting more attractive than conventional fertilizing.
In addition to the play mechanics, the DLC also adds six new machines such as the John Deere R975i trailed field sprayer and the HAWE body swap system, which lets you use trailer bodies like the Wienhoff 25.200 PTW Profi Line slurry tanker. It will also be possible to retrofit existing in-game sprayers with Trimble WeedSeeker2 sensors for smart spot spraying.
Farmers will be able to fine-tune sprayer settings using a technique called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), which adjusts fertilizer output for smoother application, greater efficiency, and reduced environmental impact.
PWM sends rapid bursts of fluid through nozzles instead of a continuous stream. Each nozzle works independently, allowing variable rate control of flow across the sprayer’s width based on driving speed and turns. This ensures that fertilizer is distributed evenly and efficiently. In addition, Automatic Section Control activates or deactivates individual implement sections at set field locations, ensuring fertilizer or crop protection is applied only where needed.
