The pictures are renders of test build 0.1.4.1 from Blender, not in-game shots. The last one shows the first model from September.
What it does
This is not a download yet. The machine is in testing: pre-release builds go to our Magister members in the members' Discord first. The pictures are renders of test build 0.1.4.1, in-game shots follow once it is out of testing.
What it does: the bucket hangs on two real ropes, hoist and drag line, each with its own physics. It tips from its geometry rather than an animation, and Dig With Anything recognises it as a digging tool.
Three boom lengths are planned: 100, 120 and 140 ft. Slew and luff by mouse, hoist and drag on keys, and a crane automation that runs the cycle on a key press. Pendant ropes between gantry and boom tip are real ropes too.
Where it stands: test build 0.1.4.1 is with our Magister testers. New in it: you can walk the machine (platform, ladders, a stair to the roof), the engine room is walk-in, the cab is 80s style with levers and round gauges, and house and undercarriage colour are picked at the shop.

News about this mod
- FS25 Manitowoc 4600: Magister members test the pre-buildWalkable machine, walk-in engine room, an 80s cab with levers: our Magister members are testing build 0.1.4.1 right now. Here's what's new.
- Manitowoc 4600 Dragline — the first prebuild is on DiscordThe Manitowoc 4600 Dragline has reached the point where it belongs in a game. The first prebuild is now on the members' Discord — for testing, not as a release. We want to know how it feels before it is finished.
Questions and answers
Can I download the Manitowoc 4600 Dragline already?
Not publicly. The dragline is in testing — pre-release builds go to the members' Discord first, with a download key. A public release follows once the testers are through.
How is the Manitowoc 4600 Dragline controlled?
Slew and luff by mouse, hoist and drag rope on keys, and a crane automation that runs the dig cycle on a key press. The bucket hangs on real ropes and tips from its geometry.
Does the Manitowoc 4600 Dragline work with Dig With Anything?
Yes — Dig With Anything recognises the bucket as a digging tool, so what it scoops follows the same rules as an excavator bucket.
Is Manitowoc 4600 Dragline being built for Farming Simulator 25?
Yes. Manitowoc 4600 Dragline is being built for Farming Simulator 25 (FS25). How far along it is, is shown at the top of this page.
Still a concept
Nothing is decided here yet: no download, no price, no date. This page shows the idea — the moment there is something to get, it will be right here.
You get a push as soon as it's out. New FS25 mods and updates too.
