So, the latest information we know about the Big Bud DLC is: - 2 official Big Bud tractors (Big Bud 747 & the Big Bud 450) - 11 pieces of new equipment, including Bednar, Seed Hawk, Grégoire-Besson, and many others - Pieces of equipment range up to 78 ft. (24m) wide of working width French Amazon says the date of the DLC is set to release April 30, 2017: www.amazon.fr/Farming-Simulator-17-extension-officielle/dp/B06W5TFYFG/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&qid=1488137710&sr=8-26&keywords=farming+simulator+17But, I am not 100% positive that is going to be the actual release date, we should expect it to be around that time. Here is the official teaser trailer for the DLC: www.facebook.com/giants.farming.simulator/videos/10154657323493778/Looks really good so far and can't wait to try this DLC out. It says that the DLC will be priced at $14.99, just like the Kuhn DLC was priced. Still not 100% sure that is the set price, but I can see that being the price with how much equipment we are getting. If anyone has anymore information on this DLC or your thoughts of it, please post here.

Yeah I am looking forward to this one. The Big Buds are cool but I am really after that Seed Hawk seeder. They are built about an hour from where I live and I go by the Seed Hawk factory once in a while. In this area they are one of the most popular seeding units. The seed tank is what I am really excited about! I am really wondering which model they will bring to the game, the most common in this area is the tow behind model.... meaning it is behind the seeder. They do have a tow between model too which is where the tank is between the tractor and the seeder..... similar to the Horsch from FS 15. personally I would like to see the tow behind model. Sizes start at 500 bushels(18184L) and go up to 980 bushels(35641L) and I know that they even made at least one 1300 bushel(46279L) but I doubt that one will be in because it's not a regular production model. I usually don't say much about the equipment or mods for this game but I've been waiting for a drill like this to come to consoles for a long time!

I've been waiting for a tow-behind model as well. That tow-behind model seems really big from what you said and something that would last a long time in a large field, which would be awesome for something like Rattlesnake Valley. I am hoping GIANTS will make a new map for this DLC to go with it. Rattlesnake seems a little too big for what I like. An updated Westbridge Hills or something similar along that line would be nice.

Myself, I think I would love a 4x map IF I had access to course play. One good 4x map and I would be set for the whole 2 yrs until the next version came came out. Yeah but without course play I feel that a 4x map may be too much for me because basically it would go from a farm sim to a trucking sim. As far as the seeder goes, are there not some tow behind seeder mods out there for PC? I have seen some on YT vids before.

I am looking fiorward to some larger equipment... I could make it work on Chellington... those fields are of a decent size for me... I'm not sure I could handle anything larger without noding off...

Yeah I really like Chellington and it would be good for a bigger seeder. My only concern is the narrow roads because if they stay true to the Seed Hawk specs, it will still be quite wide even when folded. I think it will go down the roads but you might have to turn traffic off while you are moving it haha.

I have mastered staying off the main roads in Chellington.. I take the one backroad... and the really terrible dirt path everywhere I can... as well as skirting fields

Haha yes you have to get creative sometimes on these maps. I think even on the vanilla maps it is going to be fun to get around with. It will also be interesting to see how the AI cope with it. I know you do most if not all the work yourself but I like going the big farmer route and use them quite often. After the last update they fixed a few of the problems but now I find in ways they are worse too. Now it's the sides of the fields they don't like. TBH I almost wish they would go back to the old AI. They were dumb and hit the trees if they were in the way but they were very predictable. Now you never know what they will do if you aren't watching them. We now have the warnings on the screen if they are stuck so just go back to the AI without collision detection and if they get stuck you can set them strait again. I am really starting to be disappointed with the new " smarter AI"

If Giants releases a big boy map to go with the gear I may have to finally cave into hired workers...

You know how I love me hired workers... I let them do everything! I hope so to that GIANTS releases a big boy map to go with the new DLC.

LOL yes $87 and change haha. It looks really good and they went with the biggest production model for the Seed Hawk air cart so I am impressed because I thought they would have went for a smaller model knowing Giants. The one that leaves me scratching my head is the Brent overloader, there is already one close to this one in size in game already. I don't understand why they didn't go for The biggest model... the 2096. It would hold about 72000L.... now that would have been cool. Oh well, I am just pleasantly surprised they even added it all. Same with Flexi-Coil, these are brands I see here all the time. I know Flexi-Coil makes NH seeders so I guess that's where that comes from. Either way I am excited for this DLC!!!!

Oh and just to add to that they are out to lunch on the HP requirements for the seed hawk. At 650 HP required it makes it so you can only use the Case Quadtrack or the Big Bud. The Challenger MT 900 and even the T9 NH would have enough HP to pull it IRL.
