(Article is updated with a suggested Courseplay fix.)
Are youready to download both the North American and the European version of the JohnDeere 9RX series tractors for Farming Simulator 19? (You'll find the download link below.)
The summerof '19 suddenly became a whole lot more fun. Finally, John Deere 9RX fromCustom Modding is here. And boy, it was definitely worth the wait :) Thisis one of the coolest, most beastly, great tractor mods we've ever driven.
Custom Modding's 9RX is very detailed (too detailed for consoles.) But still, the file size is way below 75 mb, which means the team behind has done an excellent optimization job.
EU & US Versions
It's greatof CM to think of their fans on both sides of the pond. There's a US / Canadianversion. And there’s a European version. The version changes are done in theshop.
There arethree different exhaust pipe options to choose from, two backweight options.The interior has custom animations. And the dirt textures are as close toreal-life as it gets.
Impressive track options
One of thethings that impress us the most are the tracks. There's a total of fourdifferent tracks available (36", 30", 24", and 18".)And there are three settings for the axle track width (80", 88",and 120".)

Courseplay Fix
(UpdatedAugust 19, 2019)Some players report about problems getting the tractor to work correctly withCourseplay. Thanks to Vincent, there is a fix that you could try. But I need towarn you. It involves editing the XML files, so please, make a backup ofthe mod before you try this solution.
Here’s Vincent’s suggestion:
- Unzip the FS19_CM_JD_9RX .zip file.
- Open the folder, and look for this file: 9RX.xml
- Open it in Notepad or Notepad++.
Ok. Withthe XML file open, look for this section (starts at line 592):
<ackermannSteeringConfigurations>
<ackermannSteering rotSpeed="25" rotMax="15" rotCenterWheel1="5" rotCenterWheel2="7"/>
</ackermannSteeringConfigurations>
</wheels>
<articulatedAxis componentJointIndex="1" anchorActor="0" rotSpeed="-25" rotMax="31" rotMin="-31" aiRevereserNode="aiReverserNode"/>
Now, replacethe values above, whit these ones:
<ackermannSteeringConfigurations>
<ackermannSteering rotSpeed="30" rotMax="15" rotCenter="0 -0.302"/>
</ackermannSteeringConfigurations>
</wheels>
<articulatedAxis componentJointIndex="1" anchorActor="0" rotSpeed="-30" rotMax="31" rotMin="-31" aiRevereserNode="aiReverserNode"/>
When you’re finished, zip the file back together and give it the same name as before: FS19_CM_JD_9RX.zip.
This shouldwork. But, again, make a backup of the original mod first.
