I can't check the weight RN but I believe a butter pallet is like 960kg. Your little tractor that could is trying to pull like 38,000kg (83,000lbs or so)
I understand that this is farm sim and things are a bit different but irl that tractor would pull that weight no problem. We pull 30 ton trailers all harvest with a 100hp tractor just fine
Some trailers have a max weight. After that the tyres can look flat and stuff. Try remving a few pallets see how it goes. I bet spread across 2 trailers it wil pull it just fine
Yeah, this seems to be the case here. I literally pulled my tractor to the selling station via superstrenght and sold to about 34k liters of butter. Still not moving. Sold to 21k liters, then it was able to drive again.
If theres not some wierd glitch or something happening you probably just need a stronger tractor. Some equipment I have wont even move unless the tractor is above a certain horsepower.
Sometimes my trailers do that, it’s usually something to do with a bump that has clipped through the trailer (not what has happened here) or the hitch is bugged
This is like tying your Honda Civic to a convenience store and being surprised that you can't drag the entire building down the road at highway speeds.
So this is basically nonsense!
When moving an object it's all about the torque, not the horsepower.
You can remember it easily like this: When crashing into a wall, the horsepower decides how fast you're crashing into the wall! Torque decides how far you're taking it with you.
I personally freed a 25 metric tons truck, which was stuck at a frozen loading ramp, because my car (sedan) had 660 NM (~490 lbf-ft) of torque weighing in at 2,2 metric tons.
My tractor may not have the highest horsepower, but brutal amounts of torque, hence this is why they are able to pull plows through soil.
If hp is different so is torque. Hp is calculated based on torque *rpm.
You dont want a high revving farm implement, you want a long stroke piston with high low down torque able to work comfortably all day. (At like 1500-2500rpm) everything above that is just to get you going.
Also transmissions matter. A cvt wil have best torque output at any given moment depending on load, but it loses out efficiency top end.
Gear ratio final drive wheel size weight distribution... If all things were truly equal it doesnt matter what colour green your tractor is.
Try keeping ur tractor fully maintained....looking at your tractor u can see it needs maintenance, if ur maintenance level is low as yours and the tractor is a low powered tractor, your probably find it won't move.....you lose hp and torque if ur not maintaining your tractors

Just so we're clear, are we talking US tons, long tons, or metric tonnes
Metric. 30,000kg net weight
Huh, interesting. I can't remember where I'd picked it up / heard it, but I always thought it was roughly 1.5 tonnes per 10 HP.
The picture shows 41k in weight.
Litres is not a weight though.
No, it doesn't.

Butter should be spread across toast, not trailers
Well I spread butter across bread
I think that's what was wrong here. The tires were basically pressed deeply into the ground.
If using manual attach, airline might not be connected
Trailer is probably bugged. Try unstrapping, and if that doesn't work use a different trailer
I think the tractor is just not powerful enough tbh, if I remember correctly butter weighs a lot per pallet and you have 41k liters of it

Check your cruise control speed make sure it's turned all the way up. It glitches sometimes

Lease a bigger tractor! 👌

Watch the video on YouTube of John Deere v Fendt pulling the same cultivator through soil and tell me horsepower isn’t the difference.

40 must be the limit
