Description:
"Powerful and efficient while maintaing quality silage"
Newest off the 2022 factory line for John Deere self-propelled forage harvesters are the 9000 series choppers. Intended to take over the higher horsepower range from the 8000 series, the 9000 choppers also provide more comfort, more features, and it all translates to better feed quality. The 9700, 9800, and flagship 9900 models were launched initially and followed later by the slightly smaller 9500 and 9600. The 95 and 96 are powered by JD18X 18L engines, and the 97, 98, and 99 are powered by Liebherr 24.0L engines. Whether it's seasonal haylage, thick winter crops, or tall corn silage, John Deere forage harvesters will provide plenty of efficiency and a quality feed to match.
This is the John Deere 9000 self-propelled forage harvester pack that is based off the ingame forage harvester. I added the smaller 9500 and 9600 models in addition to providing North American spec and some other features! This pack also includes slightly edited versions of the basegame headers allowing for color configuration of the Kemper 345, 360, 375, and 390, in addition to the pickup 639 and Kemper comfort support wheel.
Another feature of this pack is the pair of harvesters in the store menu. The first one is standard, and the second one is identical, but the pipe is moved with mouse control instead of automatically. This is for those of you who enjoy the added challenge of realistic trailer filling! NOTE: The manual pipe version is possible, but not ideal if you like using hired workers as the AI does not move the pipe as it harvests!
