Your machines are the heart of your farm in Farming Simulator 2025. Whether it’s a powerful tractor, a combine harvester, or a front loader, proper maintenance ensures you save money and time in the long run. In this guide, we’ll explain how to repair, maintain, and reduce wear on your equipment — step by step.

1. Understanding Machinery Wear in FS25
Every vehicle and tool in Farming Simulator 2025 has a wear and tear system.
Usage time and harsh working conditions (like heavy loads or unpaved fields) increase wear faster.
As wear increases, performance drops — your machines work slower and consume more fuel.
Ignoring maintenance can lead to costly repairs or even downtime during harvest.
👉 Tip: Check the “Vehicle Condition” indicator regularly in the garage or vehicle menu.
2.How to Repair Machinery
You can repair machinery in two main ways:
A. Repair at Your Farm Workshop
Build or place a Workshop Building on your farm (found under Construction → Buildings → Tools).
Drive your vehicle close to the workshop trigger zone.
Press the interaction key (R on PC, X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation).
Select “Repair” and confirm.
✅ Advantages: Cheapest repair option.
❌ Disadvantage: You must drive the machine to your farm.
B. Repair at the Dealer’s Workshop
Drive your machine to the nearest Vehicle Dealer.
Park inside the designated maintenance area.
Open the menu and choose “Repair.”
✅ Advantages: Useful when working far from your farm.
❌ Disadvantage: Costs more than repairing at your own workshop.
3. Cleaning Your Equipment
Dirty machines not only look bad — they wear down faster and sell for less.
Use the high-pressure washer (available in the shop) to clean your tractors, trailers, and implements.
Regular cleaning also improves visibility and realism in gameplay.
💡 Pro Tip: Wash your vehicles after every major harvest or transport job.
4. Preventative Maintenance Tips
Keep your machinery in top shape with these habits:
Don’t overwork low-horsepower tractors with heavy attachments.
Store equipment under shelter to prevent environmental wear.
Use field rotation and plan tasks to reduce engine idle time.
Upgrade to more durable tires and components when available.
5. Saving Money on Repairs
Repair early — small damages cost less to fix.
Sell or trade old machines before repair costs outweigh value.
Share machinery between fields efficiently to minimize overuse.
6. Mods That Improve Maintenance (Optional)
Some mods make maintenance more realistic or automated:
Realistic Maintenance Mod – adds oil changes and part wear.
Workshop Expansion Mod – lets you store and fix multiple vehicles faster.
Automatic Repair Mod – repairs vehicles automatically when parked.
(Make sure mods are updated for FS25 before installing.)
Conclusion
Taking care of your machinery in Farming Simulator 2025 keeps your farm running efficiently and saves valuable money over time. Regular cleaning, quick repairs, and smart use of your equipment will make every season smoother — and more profitable.
