Farming Simulator 25wouldn’t be an authentic experience without a wide array of tractors for you to travel around in. you may use these vehicles for various purposes —pulling trailers and other machinery, carrying raw materials, collecting silage, and more.Apart from growing and selling cropsor cutting down trees, much of your time will be spent traveling, and having a dependable tractor ensures efficiency and ease.
Tractors are divided into three categories—Small, Medium, and Large—with performance and cost increasing by size on average. With 47 tractors in the game, picking one or two as your daily driver can be challenging, especially given the minimal differences between some models. However, some clear highlights fully justify their price, and those are the ones you should primarily consider.
Each tractor category in Farming Simulator 25 serves different purposes to justify the price.
8Zetor Proxima HS
Type: Small Tractor
Looking at options forfarmers starting with a modest budget, the Proxima HS is a great choice for getting the job done for most early-game tasks. It’s thecheapest tractor in the game that supports a front loader, letting you carry items like tree logs, bales, manure, and so on.
For the avid new farmer, the Proxima HS delivers thebest value in its category. With decent speed, above-average fuel capacity for a small tractor, and the ability to transport key items,this tractor is made for value-oriented players.
7Lindner Lintrack 130
The Lindner Lintrack 130 is by farthe best tractor in its category in terms of speed and handling. It has a small form factor, simple controls, and the second-best top speed in Farming Simulator 25. However, the real focal point here isthe tractor’s subtle feature, variable steering mode, which lets you customize the vehicle’s handling to your preference.
The only downside of the Lintrack 130 isits lackluster fuel capacity. While you may complete contracts before using an entire gas tank, having to drive to the gas station can be tedious and frustrating. Fortunately,you can save yourself the trouble by getting an AI workerto drive you to the station instead.
The Lindner Lintrack 130 is the only small tractor to offer different steering modes.
6Tony 10900 TTR
When transporting goods, you’ll often encounter a few bumps and hiccups, which can sometimes derail you from the road. And sincetractors are notorious for their sluggish reverse speeds, getting back on track can be a pain. This is where the Tony 10900 TTR shines —it comes with reverse drive control, a feature letting you switch the seat’s position to accelerate normally backward.
As one of two small tractors providing this feature,the 10900 TTR is truly an effective time saverduring long trips. Unfortunately, like the Lintrack 13,it has an extremely underwhelming fuel capacity.The price-to-capacity ratio of both tractors is relatively the same, so you’re definitely sacrificing short-term convenience. Beyond that, its low horsepower also means you’ll be highly restricted in the equipment you can carry.
5Challenger MT600 Series
Type: Medium Tractor
One key factorany new farmer will want is economic value, and the Challenger MT600 Series excels in this aspect more than any other tractor. It’s the cheapest medium-sized tractor in the game, yet it has afuel capacity surpassing models five times its priceand offers unmatched horsepower in this price range.
There are, of course, some sacrifices to achieving this affordability —you can only use the MT600 Series to pull trailers and such. There’s no reverse drive control, variable steering mode, or front loader to attach. As such, you’re extremely limited by what you can do, butif you don’t want anything fancy in your tractor in the first place, it doesn’t get better than this.
4Kubota M8 Series
If you’re hovering at a budget close to €150,000, the Kubota M8 Series is likely your best bet. Compared to other cheaper medium tractors,the stats on this one are far more consistent and generally superior. Alongside front loader compatibility, ithas a solid fuel capacity, top speed, and horsepower.
On top of that,the M8 Series is incredibly easy to drivethanks to its continuously variable transmission (or CVT) and thinner tires.The braking power on this tractor is also fairly admirable, making the overall handling experience smooth and steady. Additionally, the horsepower on it will comfortably let you exceed the tractor requirements for most early-game tools.
3DEUTZ-FAHR Series 7 TTV HD
Among the high-end models in the Medium category, the Series 7 TTV HDhas everything a new farmer needs. It’s one of two tractor lines with front loader compatibility and thestrongest combination of fuel capacity and top speed.
In terms of sheer value, it beats out the Series 8 TTV HD, which has the exact specifications but higher horsepower and price. Thanks to its weight distribution and CVT, the Series 7 isarguably one of the most stable tractors in its class. With virtually no downsides, it’s aneasy sell for buyers who want a long-term investment.
2VALTRA S Series
Type: Large Tractor
For players just starting out, the VALTRA S Series isan excellent entry point into large tractors. Priced only €3,000 more than the Series 7 TTV HD, it delivers20 percent more fuel capacity, 70 percent higher peak horsepower, and reverse drive control, offering both practicality and versatility.
Regarding the overall driving experience, the S Series is a delight. Itdoesn’t feel as bulky as other large tractors, and the added fuel, compared to medium tractors, really helps with convenience. From a visual standpoint, this isone of the most streamlined designsamong tractors, and its signature Valtra Gold finish definitely makes it stand out.
1FENDT 1100 VARIO MT Series
Although the price tag is substantial, the 1100 VARIO MT has a unique feature you should consider. The main selling point of this tractor is that ituses rubber tracks instead of traditional wheels, making it better for a variety of things, likesilo compaction and traversing uneven terrain.
For crop farming, these are impactful benefitsthat carry weight in everyday work. However, if you’re inclined to do forestry or animal husbandry instead, the 1100 VARIO MT offers nothing considerable. Granted, it has massive fuel capacity and maximum horsepower, butthe sluggishness of this vehicle can’t be denied, so it’s up to you to decide whether the tracks are worth the transport downgrade.
