Hello there! this is my newest mod, the legendary JD 4050, 4055 and 4060 series! I have completely re-worked the XML from the original mod by cunningham modding. I used the wheels off Skywalker farms's brilliant JD 8010 series.

Horsepower: 150-200
Wheels: Firestone, continental and michelin
Enjoy and happy farming :)

Kinda forgot about this..
If you are going to put my wheel configs on another tractor without asking permission, could you at least do them some justice by checking how they look on the tractor? Every single config is broken in some form or another; it's easy to see. My 8000 series wheels simply aren't meant for that tractor either.
sorry.
this is a first release, I only plan to make things better from here. I just wanted to release it so people could see what is upcoming. But honestly, I’m a pretty new modder, and I don’t really know how to make stuff as brilliant as you, so sorry if things are broken, I’m just trying to teach myself modding. I’m only a kid, I don’t have the experience that you do.
If you're releasing something so people can see what will be coming, then you are better off making the itch post without linking a file. The best way to ensure mods aren't broken are finding more sets of eyes to test work. It didn't take modding knowledge for me to notice that almost all the wheels are not aligned to the axle, then drive it into a field to find none of the spacings are set up as advertised. If you release it right the first time, good chances are you never need to update it.
Also, trust me when I say that age is not a factor in making a mod good or bad. I've seen grown men share mods that lack any quality or polish, and there are high schoolers and college student that have already proven to be some of the best modders in the community. I'm not even two years out of high school myself. It all comes down to experience and training yourself to have a sharp eye for things that don't look right.
From what I can tell, you didn't ask permission from the modders who made the work you're editing either. Doing that is a quick way to make bad relationships with other people in the community, and if you talk to modders and get permission to use their stuff, they may even be able to help you with issues you come across, depending on the person.
Sometimes it is also good to just make edits and enjoy them yourself. A lot of people in the community, including myself, have done edits for personal use and just exercise skills in the process. The best releases are the ones with thought and time, like how my early releases were conversions of equipment we didn't yet have in 22 because they could fill a need, not mods we already had with sound and wheel swaps.
Ok, thank you, skywalker. I will take what you have said into mind. Thank you for you the work that you have done for the farming simulator community. :)
So, what would your advice be for me when I try to fix it? Do you know how I could resolve the issue of floating front wheels?
