Description:

My first Tractor convert release for FS25 and one that I simply cannot do without for FS25 – the John Deere 8760/8960. History behind this mod:
In real life, my dad bought a 1992 John Deere 8760 tractor back in 1996 for use as his big air seeding and ploughing tractor in Western Australia. However, after a few years, we noticed some faults. One of these was poor visibility at night with the factory lights from new. To fix this, new LED Hella spotlights were ordered and fitted to the tractor, along with a light bar for better night visibility, in the early/mid 2000s.
Recently, in 2024, we sold this tractor, affectionately nicknamed “Big Green”. Since I couldn’t keep a piece of the real tractor as a keepsake, I decided to recreate Big Green’s light bar in FS22.
Like the 7810, this mod took quite a bit of effort to get right. Siid modding initially put the wrong gearbox in the original mod and also added incorrect sounds, which, based on the files, seem to be taken from a Fendt, not a John Deere.Updates/changes from FS22:
– The mod has been updated to FS25 materials, so the tractor will get wet in all expected areas, though water droplets aren’t very visible on the hood.
– The tractor features the John Deere 15L engine sounds from Deyluck’s 8650 mod, which is currently the closest I can get to authentic recordings of the real 8760.
– All tires are standard FS25 base-game tires, including BKT Michelin and Continentals, with plans to add Firestone and Goodyear tires soon after Spesard & STX Farms’ tires are ready.
– The cab has updated materials and is prepared for a future update that will include an option for a 24-speed Synchro-shift.
– Precision Planting and Kinze Monitors have been upgraded to match the standards of those in Casearias’ Steiger.
– All lights on the tractor have been updated to FS25 standards.
I plan to continue updating and improving the tractor, including adding a 24-speed partial powershift transmission, adjusting the steps and toolbox positions to match the real tractor, and someday recording the authentic “voice” of the real “Big Green” for 100% genuine sounds.
As always, the mod has been cleared of all errors and warnings from the log. If you encounter any issues, please let me know.

OK let's set the record straight. This is the mod I converted to FS25 that some bot re-uploaded to Mod-network without my knowledge until now. I recommend people please go to my itch.io page to download the mod from the original source directly

What features are planned for cabin controls besides the lights and axle configurations?

This mod really adds to the realism of in-game farming with great detail. However, fine-tuning the engine sounds further to closely match the 8760 and enhancing night visibility through working lights would elevate the experience. Excited to see where future updates lead!

This mod is a nice addition to the tractor roster. The effort shows, and I appreciate the historical connection and updates to the sounds and details. Keep up the great work!
