Farming Simulator 2013: Buying a new harvester

It's time to change the harvester, as your current one has a very limited tank for crops.

Now your weakest link is the tractor. After changing the trailer to a bigger one, you probably feel the 1 5000 l limitation of the harvester's tank and you have to constantly unload it into a trailer. However you will have to work quite hard at this point to change it, so coordinate work well.

If you haven''t used the loan to the maximum yet, now is the time to do it (!). Remember about missions and selling your current combine and harvester for 26 249 $ (22 400 $ for the combine itself and 3 849 $ for the harvester). However if you take it to the shop personally and sell it there to gain as much as 31 498 $ for the complete set (26 880 $ for the combine and 4 618 $ for the harvester), which is 5 249 $ more.

You need to earn as much as 115 950 $ to buy the new combine.

The only possible choice is the Deutz 5465 H combine. Its price is tremendous for the moment, but it''s WORTH IT. Besides, higher models cost at least 300 000 $, so you don''t really have a choice.

Together with the new combine, you effectiveness and comfort of harvesting will increase.

The combine itself costs 89 950 $ and the harvester 26 000 $, making it a total of 115 950 $. The investment is however well worth the costs: you will have a faster vehicle with a larger crops tank (4200 l) and a wider harvester (5,4 m compared to 3,5 m in the old one).

• Investment: around 84 452 $ (cost of the combine and harvester minus the price for which you sell the old ones at the shop);
• Return on investment: collecting crops from around 5-6 hectares (corresponding to 5 harvests of field 29);
• Conclusion: buying a bigger combine is a necessity, thanks to it you will increase the width of the harvester by 50% and the crops tank 3 times (which will significantly speed up the work on the field and also make it less absorbing for you - you will have to gather crops from the harvester 3 times less frequent).
