John Deere 8760/8960 v1.0


John Deere 8760/8960 v1.0


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:
IRL 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, we found that the tractor had a few faults after a few years. One of these faults was the visibility at night with the factory lights the tractor had from new. So, to rectify the issue, new LED Hella spotlights were ordered, and were fitted to the tractor complete with a light bar for improved visibility at night.  by the early/mid 2000s.
Recently, in 2024 we sold this tractor, which we lovingly nicknamed “Big Green”. And, because I couldn’t take a piece of the real tractor as a keepsake, I thought I’d do one better by making Big Green’s Light bar in FS22.
Like the 7810, this mod took quite a bit to get working right, as not only did Siid modding put the incorrect gearbox in the original mod, but also put incorrect sounds on the mod, which looking at the files looks to be taken from a Fendt, not a John Deere.

Updates/changes from FS22:
– Mod has been updated to FS25 materials, so the tractor will get wet in all the areas you’d expect, just the water droplets aren’t very noticeable on the hood.
– The Tractor is fitted with the John Deere 15L engine sounds found on Deyluck’s 8650 mod as this is currently the closest I can currently get to genuine recordings from the real 8760
– All tires are base-game FS25 standard with BKT Michelin and Continentals, with plans in not too distant future to throw some Firestone and Goodyear tires on after Spesard & STX Farms’ tires are ready to go
– The cab has updated materials and has been prepared for a potential future update which will be including an option for a 24-speed Synchro-shift
– Precision Planting and Kinze Monitors have been updated to the same standards as the ones currently in Casearias’ Steiger
– All lights on the tractor have been updated to FS25 standards.

I do have plans to continue updating and improving the tractor as I go along, including adding a 24-speed partial powershift transmission, swapping the steps and toolbox positions to match the irl tractor and one day record the “voice” of the real “Big Green” to have 100% authentic sounds to go with the mod in FS.
As usual the mod has had all errors and warnings 100% clear from the log, however if for whatever reason you run into any issues, please do let me know
