Already available in beta on the official modhub for Farming Simulator 17, KMN Modding relaunches the machine on version 19 with this conversion by Niknab. This time it is not on farming-simulator.com that it will be necessary to go and look for it ...
This Versatile RT 490 combine harvester was a hit with FS 17, despite its beta status. It may do the same on FS 19 and benefits from the aesthetic approval of the latter. The base 3D is that of the Rostselmash Acros 595 harvester from Farming Simulator 17. But it has been greatly improved to approach the most faithful of the Versatile model. Result: we approach 90000 polygons on the scale. What could be more normal since the Canadian firm is owned by the Russian, and this RT 490 is none other than an “American” Rostselmash Torum 740.
The configurations are simple. You can change the color, depending on the year (2016 or 2017), which changes the machine from a red / white set to the famous red / yellow more famous, or even switch from single wheels to twin wheels.
Side technical characteristics, we come to titillate the big machine of the game, but without dethroning them. The Versatile sits between the Rostselmash RSM 161 and the John Deere S790, in terms of power, capacity, and price. The only downside is its maximum speed: 30 km / h, where the others run at 40.
Rostselmash RSM 161 | Versatile RT490 | JD S790 | |
Capacity | 10500 L | 12000 L | 14100 L |
Engime | 380 cv | 490 cv | 625 cv |
Price | 290000 | 323000 | 390000 |
The harvester is delivered with a 5m cutter bar, which does not appear to be much considering the technical capabilities of the machine. We will not dwell on this tool, it is better to directly adapt a competing cut, such as the New Holland 12,5 m. Moreover, the Versatile's nozzle, equipped with lighting, is so long that its use remains comfortable even with this working width.
