Farming Simulator 17 - KUHN Equipment Pack serves as a dedicated expansion for the core farming simulation on PC. It introduces 18 specialized implements from the KUHN brand that slot directly into existing farm operations, allowing players to handle soil preparation, seeding, crop care, and bale management with greater variety.
Gameplay
The core loop centers on realistic agricultural cycles. Players start by working fields through plowing and cultivating, then move to sowing with precision machines before applying nutrients or protection via spreaders and sprayers. Harvest follows, after which balers and wrappers handle crop residue into usable feed or sellable goods. Animal husbandry ties in through windrowers and tedders that prepare grass for livestock. The added KUHN equipment supports these steps with targeted tools that match specific field sizes and crop types, such as front tanks for combined sowing and fertilizing passes.
Progression involves purchasing machinery from the in-game shop once sufficient funds accumulate from sales of grain, milk, or wool. Equipment requires regular maintenance as dirt builds up during use. Transport options include trailers and trains to move goods between fields, storage, and markets. The simulation emphasizes planning around weather effects and field conditions to maintain yields over multiple seasons.
Game Modes
Singleplayer allows independent farm development across available maps with adjustable difficulty levels that alter starting capital, withering rates, and helper assistance. Multiplayer supports cooperative sessions where up to 16 participants share tasks on the same farm, dividing roles such as field work, animal care, and logistics. Both modes use the same equipment roster, so the KUHN additions function identically whether playing alone or with others.

Is It Worth Playing?
This expansion suits players who already enjoy the detailed pacing of Farming Simulator 17 and seek additional machinery options for varied field strategies. The base simulation delivers satisfying progression through crop cycles and animal management, with the KUHN items providing immediate utility in singleplayer campaigns or shared multiplayer farms. Those preferring quick action or narrative-driven experiences may find the deliberate tempo less engaging, while dedicated simulation fans appreciate the expanded toolset for optimizing operations. The content remains accessible through standard in-game purchases once the base game is installed.
