How to fix your tractor in Farming Simulator 25

Maintaining your tractor in Farming Simulator 25 drives the farm's efficiency and productivity. A broken tractor slows everything down from tool performance to fuel efficiency and even crop yields. Over time, you might end up paying more money to cover costs while facing unforeseen breakdowns that may affect your work at critical times.

Here is a simple guide on restoring your tractor with either the use of a store repair station or a setup at your own farm.

Repairing your tractor in Farming Simulator 25

1) Why repairing your tractor in Farming Simulator 25 matters

When your tractor’s condition deteriorates, it impacts its performance significantly. You’ll notice reduced speed, inefficient tool operation, and overall sluggishness. These issues can hurt your productivity, whether you’re plowing, seeding, or harvesting.

The tractor's status is indicated by a blue bar in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it's getting low, you should repair it as soon as possible. Ignore it, and your machinery will likely run at slower speeds and produce less output, wasting valuable time and money.

2) Repairing your tractor at the store

The most straightforward way to fix your tractor in Farming Simulator 25 is by using the repair facility at the store. Here’s how you do it:

Locate the repair spot

Open your map and look for the basket icon. This marks the repair station’s location.
Sometimes the station is close to the store, but on certain maps, it may be farther away—so plan your route accordingly.

Bring your tractor to the repair station

Drive your tractor to the repair icon. Once you’re there, exit the vehicle and interact with the station (usually by pressing R on PC).

Repair options

Once the repair menu opens, you’ll see two options:

Repair: Select this to restore your tractor’s functionality and efficiency.
Repaint: This only improves the tractor’s appearance. It doesn’t affect performance but might help if you’re planning to sell the vehicle.

Repairs are not free, but it's a good investment to keep your equipment in top shape.

3) Repairing your tractor on the Farm

Don’t want to drive to the store every time your tractor needs repairs? Setting up a repair station on your farm can save time and effort. Here’s how:

Build a vehicle workshop

Open Build Mode and navigate to the Tools section.
Purchase the vehicle workshop for around $45,000 and place it somewhere convenient on your farm.

Use the workshop

To repair a tractor, drive it to the workshop, exit the vehicle, and interact with the repair trigger.
Just like the store, you can repair your tractor here. However, repainting is not available at farm-based workshops—it’s strictly for repairs.

Should you build a vehicle workshop in Farming Simulator 25?

While the vehicle workshop costs $45,000 upfront, it’s a great investment if you frequently repair your tractors. You’ll save time by avoiding trips to the store, which can be particularly valuable for larger farms.

4) Should you repaint your tractor in Farming Simulator 25?

Repainting your tractor is entirely optional. While it restores the visual appeal by removing scratches and wear, it doesn’t improve the tractor’s performance. Repainting is mostly cosmetic and ideal if:

You want to make your tractor look fresh and new.
You’re planning to sell the tractor, as a better appearance can increase its resale value.

Since repainting is only available at the store, consider if it's worth the money before opting for this service.

Tips for maintaining your tractor in Farming Simulator 25

Check Condition Regularly: Watch your blue repair bar to keep yourself from experiencing sudden performance drops.
Repair Early: Don’t wait until the repair bar is nearly empty—fixing issues early can save you from productivity losses.
Repair Planning: Combine trips to the store with other errands, like selling crops or buying equipment, to maximize efficiency.
Invest in Convenience: If the repair shop is quite far off, consider opening a vehicle workshop on your farm to make the process seamless.
