How to use
Buy the tractor garage (with included tractor) from Robin and wait until she's done building it. Then just get on the tractor, select a tool or seeds or fertilizer on your toolbar, and drive. You can also press backspace (configurable) to summon the tractor to your current position.
These tool features are enabled by default:
-
[]Axe clears twigs / weeds / dead crops and cuts giant crops.
[]Fertiliser fertilises crops and trees.
[]Grass starter plants grass.
[]Hoe tills dirt, digs artifact spots and ginger, and clears weeds.
[]Melee weapon breaks mine containers, and (if dagger or sword) cuts dead crops and grass.
[]Milk pail collects milk from farm animals.
[]Pickaxe breaks rocks, clears weeds / dead crops / tilled dirt, and collects spawned mine items.
[]Scythe harvests crops / bushes / flowers / forage / fruit trees / long grass / moss / tree seeds / spawned mine items, and clears weeds / dead crops.
[]Seeds plant seeds in dirt.
[]Shears shear wool from farm animals.
[]Watering can waters crops and cools lava in the volcano dungeon.
These features are disabled by default (you can enable each feature by editing the config.json):

]Melee weapons can attack monsters (which overpowered and not recommended if you want a balanced playthrough), and daggers/swords can cut grass.[]Pickaxe can break flooring/paths, and break placed objects.
[]Scythe can collect machine output.
[]Slingshot can fire one projectile/tile/second in the aimed direction (that's nine projectiles per second by default). This is hugely overpowered, but will consume ammo at a voracious rate.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust (144K endorsements, 6.6M downloads) — this is a must-have for many.
- Actively updated (March 2026) so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
- Saves tons of time on repetitive farm chores — a real quality-of-life boost.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is minimal — no details on how to configure or use the tractor.
- No mention of dependencies or compatibility with other mods, so you might need to test.
- May trivialize early-game farming if you buy it too soon — could reduce challenge.
For Stardew Valley players who want to cut down on tedious crop management and land clearing. Perfect for farmers who've already played the vanilla game and want a smoother late-game experience. Skip if you prefer the original grind or want a more challenging farming sim.
