🌟 Key Features

🚜 Jane Moose 4020 Diesel Tractor

• Iconic Vintage Styling: Modeled after classic American agricultural iron — featuring 16-faceted round wheels, front suitcase counterweights, graphite exhaust smokestack with rain flapper cap, cyclone pre-cleaner dome, contoured vinyl operator seat, ROPS canopy sunshade, and authentic yellow-striped green livery.
• Realistic Vehicle Physics: Smooth acceleration, realistic turning radii, hill climbing, and full driver seating.
• Dual-Fuel Engine System (Diesel & Ethanol): Runs on refined diesel fuel canisters as well as Ethanol Biofuel (refinery:ethanol_bucket, janemoose:ethanol_bucket, #c:ethanol, #c:fuels/ethanol) from the Refinery mod! Harvest your crops, ferment them into ethanol, and power your fleet in a complete farm-to-fuel loop.
• Working 3-Point Hitch: Back up to any Jane Moose implement to hitch it directly to your tractor’s drawbar.

🚛 Jane Moose GKZ-14 Aerial Bucket / Platform Truck

• 3-Speed Transmission (1 m/s, 2 m/s, 3 m/s): Shift smoothly between Gear 1 (1 m/s), Gear 2 (2 m/s), and Gear 3 (3 m/s) using [G] or the Dashboard GUI.
