Use

Buy a tractor garage from Robin:

...choose where you want it built:

...and Robin will build your garage overnight:

Now just get on a tractor, choose a tool or seeds or fertilizer, and drive:

You can do these by default:

hold item	default effects	optional effects (disabled by default)
axe	clear debris; clear dead crops; cut giant crops.	chop down bushes and trees; clear live crops.
fertilizer	fertilize crops and trees.	—
grass starter	plant grass.	—
hoe	till dirt; clear weeds; dig artifact spots and ginger.	—
melee blunt	break mine containers.	attack monsters.
melee dagger	clear dead crops; break mine containers.	attack monsters; harvest grass.
melee sword	clear dead crops; break mine containers.	attack monsters; harvest grass.
milk pail	collect milk from farm animals.	—
pickaxe	break rocks; clear tilled dirt; clear dead crops; harvest spawned mine items.	break paths/flooring; break placed objects.
scythe	harvest crops, flowers, bushes, fruit trees, forage, tree moss & seeds, and spawned mine items; clear weeds and dead crops.	collect machine output.
seeds	plant seeds in dirt.	—
shears	shear wool from farm animals.	—
slingshot	—	shoot one projectile/tile/second in the aimed direction.
watering can	water crops; cool lava in the volcano dungeon.	—

Tractors use no stamina when using tools, and the watering can won't run out of water. They will consume fertilizer or seeds when you sow those, though.

Configure

If you install Generic Mod Config Menu, you can click the cog button (⚙) on the title screen or the "mod options" button at the bottom of the in-game menu to configure the mod. Hover the cursor over a field for details.

Custom textures

For players

You can install content packs that edit the textures. You can find some by opening Tractor Mod's mod page, clicking "Requirements", and looking under "Mods requiring this file".

You can also drop new PNGs into the assets folder to change the appearance of tractors or garages directly. For a seasonal texture, just prefix the name with the season (like spring_tractor.png). The mod will load the seasonal texture if present, else it'll load the default name (like tractor.png).

For mod authors

You can edit Tractor Mod's textures by patching three assets:

• Mods/Pathoschild.TractorMod/BuffIcon
• Mods/Pathoschild.TractorMod/Garage
• Mods/Pathoschild.TractorMod/Tractor

Only edits (i.e. EditImage in content packs or IAssetEditor in C#) are allowed. Tractor Mod will load the base asset itself to ensure compatibility.

For example, here's how you'd edit the tractor sprite using Content Patcher:

{
   "Action": "EditImage",
   "Target": "Mods/Pathoschild.TractorMod/Tractor",
   "FromFile": "assets/custom-tractor.png"
}

Compatibility

Tractor Mod is compatible with Stardew Valley 1.6+ on Linux/macOS/Windows, both single-player and multiplayer.

In multiplayer mode it must be installed by the host player, plus any farmhands who want to use its features. Farmhands who don't have it installed won't have any issues, they just won't see the tractor/garage textures or be able to use its features.
