FS25: John Deere 8650 4WD

"The 8650 was designed for efficiency and versatility, capable of performing a variety of field operations. It was built to handle tasks like planting, cultivating, and more with its draft-control hitch and full-power PTO."

Here"s the official release of my John Deere 8650 Series! ALOT of time went into this mod to get it as accurate as I possibly could. The original model has been around the FS scene for a long, long time, but there is little left of that model at this point. It was originally modeled by Knagsted Modding, whom I've heard has since passed on, so it became much more than just another project when I found this out. Knagsted is a LEGEND in the community so I am honored to have brought this model back to life! I hope everyone enjoys this as I have enjoyed the time I've spent working on it, and learning the history behind it, and the 8050 series in general.

! UPDATE 2/1/25

~ Added 2nd engine configuration, 10.1L Big Turbo Rebuild. Includes more power, torque, Straight pipe, and a louder turbo spool sound.

~Added Beacon Light options

~Added Pre-cleaner options 

~Switched interior light to correlate with door animation and not high beams

~Fixed all missing textures

~Fixed all errors

~New Store and Mod Icons

~Adjusted/fixed all the lights

~Fixed any model gaps I was able to fix

~Changed seat to proper 50 series seat

~Other fixes I'm sure I'm forgetting here 

So there is still a couple warnings on my end, that have to do with the dash lighting. Once I know what I need to do to get rid of them I will do it immediately. The Quick Hitch and 2 point still DO NOT function properly. I'm working on a fix for this, they make work with certain tools, but I'm not sure. Sorry for the inconvenience and it will be fixed asap.

I've also had a few people say lighting isn't working for them,  I really don't understand what the problem is, idk if its a Giants bug or what. But most people aren't having this issue.  Again, if this is happening to you I apologize and as soon as I know what's going on with it, it will be fixed.
