LS 22 Ford 8000-9600 Tractor Pack v1.0.0.0
Ford 8000-96000 Tractor
Well after Hurricane Helene left most of us here in Appalachia in the dark with no power, cell service, internet, and severe flooding in some parts. The day I wanted to release this tractor was set way back. But luckily everything is back up and running, so I am able to get it out to everyone.
A backstory, for context. This was my first model to game tractor mod from FS19, and it showed. Especially after I converted it to FS22. This version was originally two separate mod folders zipped into one. I started redoing the model itself in Blender sometime back in 2022. I converted the open station version almost 3 years ago, and a follower converted the cab version and sent it to me(if you’re reading this let me know who you are so I can add you in the credits). However, I lost interest in working on this mod just based on the amount of work it needed. I decided as some projects we’re close to completion to go ahead and tackle it. So here is 3 years worth of work, crammed, I mean completed in about 3 months.
Features:
Tractor models, the old version just had the 8600 and 9600. This version has the 8000, 9000, 8600 and 9600.
More detailed engine model, note it’s not completely finished.it will be finished before this tractor gets converted to FS25.
Custom dirt and wear maps, something the FS19 version didn’t have.
One mod folder instead of two. Which drastically reduced the file size.
More detailed operator station, and cab. I modeled new floors for both versions, an HVAC system based on reference photos, and added upholstery to the cab.
New sounds based on the actual Ford engine model
Wheel options, including plow duals, and diamond tread fronts.
Optional Front weight.
Exhaust stack options.
Loader brackets.
Functional connection hoses.
Opening cab door with mouse control.
