Spending a ton of money on new machinery and tools is nothing new in the Farming Simulator series. Once you add in the cost of a header for the combine, and even basic tools for the tractor (seeder, sprayer, plow, etc.), you’ll be looking at well over 1 million dollars. Thus, just these two machines on their own will cost $912,300. The Lexion 8900 isn’t too far off at $489,500. For instance, a fully-loaded Xerion 5000 will run you $422,800. Even just the initial costs of the high-tier machines are sizeable.

Trying to do so the “normal” way is going to require you having a very profitable farm or a save file that you’ve been running with for several hours and thus money is no longer a big deal. I created a fresh save file so that I could only use the CLAAS-made products (where possible), but that required using a money mod. With there being a veritable army of CLAAS products in this pack, outfitting your entire farm with each and every one of them will easily run you into the millions (unless you plan on leasing). However, doing just so is going to be a very expensive undertaking. Thus, you can cover just about every crop except cotton with a piece of CLAAS equipment. The rest of the pack contains smaller combines like the Dominator, as well as Forage Harvesters like the Jaguar 960.

The Lexion’s Convio 1230 series of headers also make quick work of fields both large and small due to their wide coverage. It didn’t take very long for the Lexion to grow on me as one of my favorite combines in the whole game due to its surprising high speed and very nimble maneuverability. I became mostly acquainted with the Lexion 8900. CLAAS’s massive combine harvesters were also done well in their transfer to the digital realm.
