American Truck Simulator - Farm Machinery is a simulation DLC for the core trucking experience on PC. It introduces specialized agricultural equipment as cargo options that fit into existing delivery routes across the game's road network. The expansion focuses on realistic transport of heavy farm implements from two fictional brands, Owl and Greenler, using common trailer types already present in the base game.
Gameplay
The core loop centers on accepting contracts to move oversized farm equipment between agriculture-related locations. Cargoes load onto lowboy, dropdeck, or flatbed trailers for transport over highways and rural roads. Each load features distinct shapes and weights that influence handling during turns and on inclines. Drivers navigate to pickup points at manufacturing sites and deliver to farms, processing plants, or storage facilities scattered throughout the map.
Integration happens seamlessly with the existing job system. New machinery appears in the available freight pool once the DLC is installed, allowing selection during contract browsing. The addition emphasizes precision in route planning because taller or wider items require extra clearance checks at bridges and overpasses. Cabin customization options expand at the same time with five themed items that players can equip for visual variety during long drives.
Game Modes
American Truck Simulator supports single-player career progression where drivers build reputation and income through repeated deliveries. The Farm Machinery DLC populates job boards with the new agricultural loads without introducing separate modes. Online co-op sessions remain available, letting multiple drivers coordinate on the same server while hauling these cargoes independently or in convoy.
Quick job selection and free roam exploration also benefit from the expanded cargo roster. No dedicated competitive or story-driven modes accompany the pack. Instead, the content extends the sandbox nature of the base simulation by increasing the frequency and type of farm-related contracts that appear over time.
Cargo and Customization Options
Nine distinct machinery types join the freight selection. These include the sprayer, crawler tractor, forage harvester, fertilizer spreader, grain trailer, autonomous tractor, hay baler, seeding unit, disc harrow, and windrower. Each item carries unique visual details tied to the Owl and Greenler branding and loads securely onto the supported trailer varieties.
Five cabin accessories complement the cargo focus. Available items feature a lunch kit, scarecrow, straw hat, stuffed autonomous tractor, and harvester toy. These decorative elements attach inside the truck cab and provide minor personalization without affecting performance.

Is It Worth Playing?
The DLC received very positive feedback from 108 user reviews, with 81 percent rating it favorably. Players who already enjoy the base American Truck Simulator simulation appreciate the added cargo diversity that keeps long-haul routes fresh. The pack requires ownership of the main game and integrates directly into ongoing career saves.
Those seeking more agricultural variety in their trucking sessions find the machinery loads and matching accessories worthwhile. Continued support through later patches, including an additional windrower variant, shows ongoing maintenance. The content suits drivers who value incremental expansion over major overhauls to mechanics or map size.
