MB Trac 1800 low torque?

  • MB Trac 1800 low torque?

    Problem: The MB Trac 1800 is unable to pull a trailer with 6 bulls out of the animal trader lot. It stalls on the hill to the road.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Attach Joskin 410 trailer to MB Trac 1800
    2) Load 6 bulls at animal trader
    3) Set waypoint back to farm
    4) Engage autopilot

    Expected results: Tractor drives back to farm

    Actual results: Tractor stalls out on the hill leaving the animal trader and rolls backwards

    I tested with all other tractors in the current game and they can pull the loaded trailer out. I did notice that the tractors don't downshift very much when under load so there could be multiple things going on here. Maybe the power curve for the MB Trac 1800 is off? It can easily pull the trailer in manual transmission mode under player control.

    This screenshot is the MB Trac 1800 rolling backwards in 6th gear (autopilot engaged)

  • You'll get similar results with any other implement or trailer which adds some weight. The tractor even has problems driving up to the farm without any trailer because the transmission simulation is completely broken. Just look how it revs up to 2000/min (or 2500 inside) and then slowly accellerates. To make things worse, the automatic transmission shifts up to 7th gear immediately.
    The dry clutch of a real MB Trac wouldn't survive a single acceleration to top speed.

    Edit: All tractors are affected by the strange disconnect of engine rpm and actual speed. The Trac1800 is only the worst of them.
