Reviews indicate that the game is not a true farming simulator, with many players feeling it lacks depth and authenticity in farming mechanics. Instead, it is described as a tedious experience, particularly during races, leading to frustration rather than enjoyment. While some find it a fun, albeit flawed, alternative to traditional farming games, others recommend seeking more genuine farming simulations.
“If you are seeking a farming simulation, then seek elsewhere, because this has nothing to do with farming, nor simulation.”
“A game shouldn't be tedious to play, but halfway through the first race I just wanted it to stop, and that's not what you want from a game in the slightest.”
“A bad version of farming simulator with 100% more lag!”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some users reporting significant improvements in frame rates through tweaks, while others note that it still falls short compared to titles like Codemasters' racing games. Although the performance is generally acceptable, especially for slower-paced gameplay, players may need to compromise on graphic quality or have a high-end system to achieve optimal performance.
“This is the best so far, and there are one or two other options I could try out further to see if any more performance gains can be had.”
“Without further ado, here is the new performance: full HD maxed out.”
“Frame rate is passable; not as optimized as, say, Codemasters' Grid or Dirt of the F1 series, but it's still enjoyable as the tractors are slow-moving, so 30 fps should be adequate.”
“Only thing, as mentioned before, is that the optimization isn't top-notch, so either sacrifice some graphic quality or you need a very beefy rig.”

“Applying one of those tweaks here resulted in a marked improvement in fps; older lackluster performance when compared to this can be found at the bottom of this review and another one in the forum.”

“Apparently, this game will run on NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards.”

“I rocked out to the cheesy music for 3 minutes, but then I got bored of the repetitive races.”
“There are no engine noises; instead, the complete lack of sound is filled with a really bad 'country' soundtrack that I've definitely heard somewhere before.”

Users have reported stability issues, particularly with input devices like USB gamepads, which can lead to erratic behavior such as the cursor uncontrollably drifting to the right. This suggests that the game may have bugs related to controller input management.
“First of all, when plugging my USB gamepad in and launching with it enabled, my cursor kept going to the right in-game. I discovered that the mouse can be controlled with the analog stick, and for whatever reason, it seemed very buggy.”
“The game crashes frequently, especially during intense moments, making it nearly unplayable.”
“I experienced constant frame drops and stuttering, which severely affected my gameplay experience.”
