Early Farming Pack (1920-1950)
In the early 20th century, mechanized farming enabled more food to be grown with less manual labour, allowing more labour to be used towards other pursuits. This pack contains a selection of tractors and combines that will allow your nation to engage in mechanized farming between 1920 and 1950. Note that you will need to change the start year of your save game or enable all vehicle years to use these vehicles, as all of these vehicles are obsolete long before 1960.

Known Issues: While the towed combines are technically trailers, the game does not support towed harvesters and so the combines had to be modeled as a single rigid model. The width of the combines will also cause them to overhang a standard parking spot and take up more than their lane when driving on a road, but this is purely a visual problem. It will not stop other vehicles from parking or driving beside the combine.
