Bought a Simson S51 and other equipment for the farm || Game Farming Simulator 17
For some time now, I've wanted to buy a motorcycle so I can get around my farm more quickly and efficiently. Recently, I had to sell my pickup truck because I had debts with the bank and needed to buy a few things. It hurt to sell it because it was my companion for supervising the work around the farm, but I also learned that without sacrifices and financial strategies, my progress will be even slower than it already is. I bought a fairly cheap and simple motorcycle. I think this bike is a perfect fit for a farmer.
It's a red Simson S51, and it cost me $600. After buying it, I went to the store to pick it up and took the opportunity to test it around the area. Honestly, it's very easy to handle, reaches a top speed of 74 km/h, and has an 8-liter fuel tank.
On my way back, I stopped by the chicken coop to collect the day's eggs and took a short ride around the fields to see how my workers were getting along with their tasks.
Then I parked the motorcycle in a shed next to one of the fields and set out to check market prices. My goal was to sell the more than 23,000 liters of soybeans stored in the silos. Before the sale, I had a little over $6,000 in my account. After completing the transaction with a company called "Denton Bakery," which bought my crop for $1.440 per liter, I ended up with a little over $39,000.
With the money from the sale, I went straight back to the store to buy a larger-capacity dump truck for transporting my harvested crops. My current dump truck holds only 8,000 liters, while the one I just bought has almost three times that capacity. This will significantly reduce the number of trips I need to make when selling my crops, which means spending less time on these tasks.
I thought about selling my old dump truck, but the truth is that the store was only offering me $1,758 because it's heavily used. So, it's not worth selling, and I'll keep it for future jobs. Maybe later it will come in handy for transporting animal feed or simply for some other task. That night, I returned to the farm and put my new dump truck to work right away. The worker operating the combine harvester emptied the entire grain tank, and my truck was still only partially full. Buying this piece of equipment was definitely a big step forward.
When it was almost 10 p.m., I went to get my motorcycle for one last ride around the farm, specifically to check how everything was going with the beehives I bought a few days ago. It's impressive because, when I get close to them, I can hear the bees buzzing quite loudly. This adds a very interesting level of realism to the game. You can even see lots of bees flying around when you're standing nearby.
As I was getting ready to end the day's work, I stood at the front door of my house. Because of the changing seasons in the game, the nights on my farm are extremely dark, and since I sometimes work at night, visibility becomes a real challenge. So, I made one last purchase: a lighting system similar to the ones used in stadiums. It cost me $2,500, and I installed it in front of my house. I was amazed by the quality of the lighting! This is the first lighting system I own, but I also need to install more along the sides of my fields to make working at night easier. At least now, the entrance to my house is illuminated.
