OPERATION BRIEF

Buy, Lease or Used?

Match ownership to utilization. Lease rare harvesters; own the tools that work every season.

Field rule

Make the cheapest reversible decision first: test with a contract, lease one-off equipment, and buy only after utilization is proven.

Field sequence

  1. Buy high-use power units.Tractors and common tools earn value across seasons.
  2. Lease rare-use specialists.Specialized vegetable and rice harvesters are strong lease candidates.
  3. Inspect used equipment.Discounts can be offset by wear, repair and wrong compatibility.
  4. Count logistics.Cheap field capacity can create an expensive transport bottleneck.

Common failure points

Compatibility first

Category labels are not enough. Confirm the exact crop or attachment icon in the shop.

Settings change results

Prices, growth and yield-care requirements depend on the save configuration.

Do not over-automate

AI workers reduce steering work but still need headland, obstacle and refill supervision.
