When Farming Simulator 25 gets updated to version 1.9 it also provides a new batch of machinery. With this second free content update the John Deere 1270G (for foresting use), the Pöttinger AEROSEM VT 5000 DD seeder, the Väderstad TopDown 600 cultivator and a new Škoda car in the form of the electric Enyaq Coupé RS iV are added.
Giants Software have just announced their new DLC for Farming Simulator 25. The Plains & Prairies Pack will be released June 3 and includes among other things three new brands of machines.
Or maybe we should say new old brands, since the most well-known of the three isn’t to be found on tractors today, but used to be a most famous one one them back in the days. The name in question is Ford.

The Plains & Prairies Pack is par of the Season Pass for those who have purchased that, and for everyone else preorders for the pack is possible from now until the release day.
There are actually times when you’re not the problem. Someone else is.
The game developer Straight4 Studios and Giants Software have released a new reveal trailer for their project aptly named Project Motor Racing.
The new racing game makes use of Giants’ game engine developed for their Farming Simulator series and is subsequently to be published by Giants Software.
It will include more than 70 vehicles, both current and historical, from ten racing classes and 27 track layouts. Each car is meticulously recreated and licensed from real world manufacturers like Lamborghini, Aston Martin, and Audi.
Project Motor Racing will be released this autumn for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. A more exact date is yet to be determined.
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.
We have had a go with the first big DLC pack for Farming Simulator 25 – the NEXAT Pack – and the review of it can now be found here.
The first DLC for Farming Simulator 25 is released and its focus is on a brand and a machine that maybe not all that many have heard of. The NEXAT Pack gives the virtual farmer an opportunity to try out an all-in-one system which at the very least look, well, a bit different from what we’re used to.
A review of the DLC is in the works.
The official Horsch AgroVation map has now been updated by Giants for Farming Simulator 25.
This somewhat special map is based on Horsch’s real facility in the Czech Republic used for research and testing of their farming equipment and – somewhat to my own surprise – it actually became my favourite Giants’ made official map in Farming Simulator 22. The different field sizes in combination with a nicely done and decorated realistic map is quite satisfying for some reason.
Another returning map from Farming Simulator 22 is the Silverrun Forest map which is available for FS25 since February 26.
Silverrun Forest with its inspiration from the North American Pacific northwest is a map mostly focused on forestry, even if it of course also has some possibilities for agricultural work.
