In this article, we’ll highlight the 12 tractor mods for FS25 that we found the most interesting. They’re not divided by size or power, so you’ll be able to pick and choose from just about anything. Let’s get into it and see what are the best tractors mods for FS25.
- John Deere 8030 Series

- Deutz-Fahr 9 Series
- Fendt 900 Vario (Gen 7)
- Valtra S Series

- Massey Ferguson 3600 and Landini 19500
- Valtra A Series 4

Here’s what makes these tractors the best:
1. John Deere 8030 Series
- Power: 240-360 HP
- Modder: Udruzenje Nezavisnih Modera
- Base Price: 185,000
- Errors: None!
John Deere is perhaps the world’s favorite farming brand. So, it’s no surprise that this tractor remains one of the most popular mods for several games in the row. Big in FS19, big in FS22, and big now! The modder takes great pride in this tractor, doing manual conversions and making sure everything works as good as possible. And oh, it shows: John Deere 8030 on FS25 is virtually perfect.
The best thing about it? That’s got to be customization. Any player will be able to edit this tractor in several different ways:
- All the seats and wheels for you to modify
- Various blinkers, lights, and warning signs
- The front of the tractor includes linkage with PTO and weight brackets.
- Engine and gearbox can be edited using 15 different options.
If you’re interested in adapting you machinery to look seamless in your specific country or region, it’s a great tractor mod for that as well. There are pre-built options for EU, US, Canadian, and Australian markets, modifying the tractor to fit the regulations. On top of that, the 8030 mod also lets you to:
- Lower and raise the tractor’s front
- Swivel the driver seat to the right
One complaint about this mod could be the engine sounds, which simply don’t sound realistic. But the existing package is perfectly good enough. All in all, the 8030 looks good, is highly editable, and works on just about every farm. Bullseye.
2. Massey Ferguson 8S
- Power: 225-325 HP
- Modder: Schnibbi Modding
- Base Price: 202,000
- Errors: None
Massey Ferguson 8S is already available in the game. However, as is the case with many tractors on Farming Simulator, the base version is severely lacking in customization. This mod by Schnibbi Modding fixes that – giving this great machine some extra features.
Here’s what the main changes are:
- Fully adaptable and configurable wheels
- Options to completely change warning signs
- Full tractor body and wheel rim color adjustments.
We left one thing out, because it needs a separate mention – and that’s the animations. Doors, sunroof, and windows can all be fully opened. The steering columns also fold, just like it would in real life, depending whether you are leaving or entering.
Should this have been a standard feature? Probably. But we can see why GIANTS might not bother: when there are modders who do a wonderful job instead.
As with many mods, this Massey Ferguson 8S still has slight sound issues. But this one’s extremely tiny, as we don’t notice a sound difference whether the doors are closed or open. Small issue? Absolutely – and it doesn’t change the fact that this is a wonderful mod.
3. Fendt 700 and 800 Vario
- Power: 115-280 HP
- Modder: WhyLineZ
- Base Price: 129.200
- Errors: None
Many long-time players will probably recognize this mod. Despite this model not being created to be in the base game, these Fendt tractor mods have been available to modding players ever since FS15. With each release, the models get updates: making each generation better than the plan. This one’s no exception, and has no issues that we noticed.
Even the most common mod issue – the sound – has been absolutely perfected. Turn down your music, and take a listen. The realism in FS25 works really well with these completely legit sounds. Now add some LED lights, that make this tractor look like it just left the retail warehouse, and you got yourself a winning combo.
4. Deutz-Fahr 9 Series
- Power: 290-340 HP
- Modder: RedCat3D
- Base Price: 280,000
- Errors: None
Long time FS19 players will probably remember this Deutz-Fahr: it was probably the most popular tractor in the entire game. Long time FS22 players might also remember that this tractor didn’t make it to the game.
Sounds like a problem – but it was solved by RedCat3D, bringing this crowd favorite into the FS22 and FS25. With some additional upgrades and official-level detailing, it’s an improvement from the previous generation!
The textures are very good, which players with powerful computers and large screens will definitely enjoy. All the 300 horsepower also sound like they should, with excellent custom audio.
In the shop, you can also easily upgrade this tractor, adding different designs, including the popular Warrior design, as well as options for custom wheels and four different engine modifications.
5. Fendt 900 Vario (Gen 7)
- Power: 296-415 HP
- Modder: Schnibbi Modding
- Base Price: 280,000
- Errors: None
This Fendt tractor can already be found on the game – but we recommend downloading this mod by Schnibbi Modding, because with some additional changes, it becomes one of the best tractor mods for FS25. You’ll find some extra features, like:
- Doors and windows are fully animated
- Steering column will fold automatically
- Warning signs will fold and unfold automatically
The customization is also improved by a lot, making this Fendt FS25 mod a seriously good idea. You can customize the beacon light placement, color the rims and the body with fully custom colors, and change the wheels to many different options. And then there are the animations.
The animations are probably our favorite thing in this mod. Hand throttle is fully animated, as are the folding warning signs.
6. Valtra S Series
- Power: 300-405 HP
- Modder: Bubber Drumm
- Base Price: 252,000
- Errors: None
Valtra S Series is another mod you probably won’t find on the base FS25 game, despite it being available on some of the previous releases. Thanks to Bubber Drumm, the legend of Valtra continues: and you can download the newest, most refined version of this tractor yet.
In our opinion, it’s an improvement even on the earlier official version. The sound is a lot better, significantly more realistic, and with various options for adding custom wheels from different manufacturers, you’re spoiled for choice. You can also pick from 6 different engine customizations, as well as freely pick the color for body and the rims.
7. Case IH Optum Series
- Power: 288 and 313 HP
- Modder: Chefkoch
- Base Price: 240,000
- Errors: None
Mods are very important for keeping the online archives alive. This Case IH is a yet another case of a perfectly great tractor getting removed for the game. For what reason exactly, we do not know. But we do know that this mod by Chefkoch brings the beloved tractor to FS25! And there’s plenty to be happy about.
For starters, it looks good: better than the original from the earlier releases. The audio is definitely improved, although we don’t think they come from the actual tractor. Good news is, the sound is definitely improved and works seamlessly with FS25. If you don’t have any actual experience working with or next to Case IH Optum, you probably wouldn’t notice.
The only issue remains the lack of customization. All you can do is many different beacon lights. If that’s enough for you, this tractor mod will be great for you.
8. Massey Ferguson 8700S
- Power: 300-405 HP
- Modder: Blauea
- Base Price: 250,000
- Errors: None
Massey Ferguson MF 8700 is big, popular, and for some reason – not on the base game of FS25. Luckily, this oversight can be quickly fixed. This mod by Blauea can be found on the Downloadable Content section, and you should definitely download it.
The S model of this MF tractor is the more expensive version of the base model, with 6 different variations having anywhere between 300 and 405 horsepower. You can change the wheels for each of them, which is a nice benefit. Windows and doors now open, and you get full keyboard or mouse control for the animations.
The MF 8700S also sounds really good, and we haven’t noticed a big difference between the mod and the real-life version. It’s a great update on the previous mod, with the community stepping up and updating this tractor for the next gen of gaming.
9. Massey Ferguson 3600 and Landini 19500
- Power: 170-190 HP
- Modder: Sham130
- Base Price: 97,000
- Errors: None
If you’re a bit of an agriculture history nerd, you will love this mod. That’s because even though the Massey Ferguson 3670 tractor is available on the base game, this mod also gives you extended 3680 and 3690 options as well. You will also get the Landini 19500 as well. Why is that and why should you be interested?
That’s because in 1959, Massey Ferguson purchased Landini, including all of its factories. As a result, some MF models were actually made by Landini in Italy. And vice versa – some Landinis were built in the French MF plant. While different in name, this also meant that for different models, you could use the exact same parts.
Landini 19500 is a rare model, and with plenty of vintage Massey Fergusons, this mod is a nice slice of agricultural history.
10. Valtra A Series 4
- Power: 75-130 HP
- Modder: Thierry Gamer
- Base Price: 53,100
- Errors: No
Looking for something small, but mighty, and have this model in mind? Well, you won’t find it in the base game. Luckily, thanks to Thierry Gamer, this compact but powerful Valtra tractor mod is now available in FS25.
While this Valtra is pretty small and definitely not as powerful as some might want, many will be happy to know that with this mod, you will also gain access to some great customization options.
For example, you can do full customization of the interior and body of the tractor – including the driver’s seat. Lights are also very customizable as well, letting you pick between LEDs, Xenon, or standard lights. With weight brackets and front loader mounts, this Valtra can be customized to do many different types of work.
11. Case IH MXM 190
- Power: 190-235 HP
- Modder: My GameSteam
- Base Price: 68,000
- Errors: Some
Is it weird that this tractor made this list for sound alone? Well, it shouldn’t be – because if you care about realistic sounds, this Case IH mod by My GameSteam is the pick for you. Differences of sound between outdoor and cab view are great, and you can even hear the interior rattling about when driving on rough terrain.
However, there are some issues. Namely, the unrealistic top speed of 75 km/h, which some may see a bug, and some may see as a feature. The color options are also a little bit unrealistic, but the same way – you might actually love it like that.
If you do, it’s a great tractor to choose.
12. Challenger MT 900 E ML
- Power: 536-646 HP
- Modder: HoT Online Team
- Base Price: 425,000
- Errors: No
We thought that FS25 was the latest marvel on technology, showcasing just how big the game can be. However, it seems like the Challenger MT 900 E ML was too big even for that.
It’s either that, or the fact that AGCO, owning both Fendt and Challenger, decided to go all-in on Fendt as its flagship brand for American markets. So, you might see a lot of Challengers dressed up as Fendts. But if you still want the classic Challenger look on your farm, you can still get it – using mods!
It’s realistic, as any good FS25 tractor mod should be, but we’ll stay that customization is lacking. There are three different engines, biggest at 646 HP. You can pick from either a red or a white logo, choose from four Trelleborg wheels, and many different colors.
All in all, an excellent tractor to choose. If you haven’t found something that you like on this list, don’t worry – we got plenty more. Check out our tractor mods in the FS25 Tractors mods category.
