The third season | The Career Mode Professional Farmer 2014 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Buying at the machine store: tractor and plow
Task: Plow, at least, 4 fields
This task, at the beginning, is the same as for the previous year. The difference is that you now need to do the same in four fields.
Before you get to work, attach the plow to the tractor and go to the machine store- you have more and more work to do so, a little upgrade is a good thing. You should, by now, have at least 110 000 Euros on your account. It is a good idea, then, to replace your equipment.
While right next to the store access its menu ([Enter]). Select the "Sale" tab, click "Sell" next to the LemkenJuvel 8 V N90 plow - you will get 9 000 Euros for it.
Access the "Store" tab, then. On the list, find a bigger plow - LemkenEurospal 8 N90 - buy it for 20 000 Euros. This means that this exchange is going to cost you 11 000 Euros.
This is not the end to the shopping, yet. You need to buy a tractor with automatic transmission (which, if combined with cruise control, will make work considerably easier). A good choice is e.g. the V2-Q tractor for 85000 Euros. You should be able to afford it but, if not, earn some more money. You can consider selling the old tractor.
The new tractor and plow are in front of the store. Attach the plow to the new tractor and drive it towards your farm.
Buying of the fourth field and further work
Using the new equipment plow all three fields that you own. The Tractor has cruise control, you can therefore press the [2] key and, without accelerating, the tractor will keep its speed and plow.
Next to your third field, there is a field for sale. If you have plowed your fields beforehand, you may be lucky and you will buy a field that has already been plowed, loosened and seeded. Its area is 0,29 ha, and it costs 2916 Euros. If it has not been plowed yet, you will have to plow it yourself. That is when you will complete the assignment of plowing four fields, and receive a reward of 3000 Euros.
Buy a new cultivator
Task: Gather, at least 4 fields
Your task now is, of course, to loosen, seed and harvest from all four fields. It is worthwhile to attach to the new tractor, the cultivator that you already have and take it to the machine store.
After you get there, open the store's menu ([Enter]) - you will sell your cultivator for 3/4 of its purchase price, i.e. for 15000 Euros.
Then, access the "Store" tab and buy a new cultivator. It is enough it is a step higher model - HorschTerrano 4 FX for 30000 Euros (or, even better, Horsch Jocker 6 CT). It will be waiting for you in front of the store. Attach it to the tractor, fold it [G] (to be able to drive along the road without damaging any other vehicle) and return to your fields. Loosen all four fields, seed them with any seeds, e.g. wheat, soybeans, but not corn, which requires a different attachment to be harvested (remember that you need to buy the seeds at the farming store). Change the season then, to the late Summer and harvest. For completing the task of harvesting from all 4 fields, you will be rewarded with 3000 Euros.
The next year brings another challenge, which is...you guessed it, plowing 5 fields, after which you should harvest from 5 fields. The game gets schematic at this point so, instead of focusing on the individual annual actions, which you should know perfectly by now, in the next chapter, I will present you with the strategy of developing your farm.
The following tasks that the player needs to face, are: Plow 5 fields, gather, at least, 5 fields, create 20 bales, plow 5 fields, loosen 6 fields, gather, at least, 6 fields, create 40 bales, plow 7 fields, gather, at least, 7 fields, loosen 8 fields, gather, at least, 8 fields, plow 9 fields etc.
