Tractor Mod Review

Tractor Mod lets you drive a tractor that applies a tool to a radius around you: till, plant, water, fertilise, clear debris and harvest in one pass.

The practical effect is that a field which took most of a morning now takes a couple of minutes. That is the whole pitch, and it is why the mod appears on three of the five editorial lists we tracked.

Verdict

Buy a tractor, clear a field in one pass. The cost is gold and a config decision, because the default power level is deliberately generous and easy to abuse.
