If your have only $15 to spend on a video game for a while I wouldn't really recomend but other than that it is worth it. The animations and modeling are great and every single piece is worth buying in the game. All the mowing/bailing equipment is bigger and cheap[er than the standard vanila counterparts. There isn't anything that is all that special except the mergers, but if you have the money it is worth it.
8/10 would Kuhn again

I recommend the DLC pack as these implements are useful and bring variety to the game, but not for the full price, not enough content to justify this price

It contains a lot of cool Equipment, very detailed Skins and Tools but it is not 15 Euros worth.

On the one hand, this pack has meticulously modelled and animated equipment (of much higher quality than you'll find in the vanilla game), but on the other hand; the balers, the wrapper, the merger, and the sprayers are the most relevant equipment in the pack as it fills a size gap in the game. The rest of the equipment is of limited use because of its small size, which makes it hard to recommend this pack at full price. I bought the pack mostly for the balers and generally play on maps where the fields are too big for the rest of the equipment to be relevant. If you play on maps with small fields, then you can probably find a lot of joy out of this pack, but then again, there's plenty of 3-6 m equipment in the game and as mods already.
Kuhn only makes equipment for small-medium sized farms, so for a branded pack with their name on it it's not like we can expect bigger machines, but in terms of the game, a bunch of small equipment lacks relevance (obviously the Big Bud pack has the really big equipment, but it's the 6-15 m range where I feel there's a lack of options).
The puzzle piece combination subsoiler, cultivator, and sower is a neat concept (as you can put it together and take it apart as you need the different functions of the equipment or depending on how powerful a tractor you've got), but it's only 4 m wide and with all the pieces combined you need 350 hp just to pull it down the field, and that does not account for hills. Although you can use each piece seperately, that isn't really the point of it. With that much power you can pull much bigger equipment and unless you've got fairly small fields, 4 m wide equipment isn't relevant for very long.
One major issue with this combination machine when you use the front seed box, is that the AI thinks the seed box is the working width of the entire machine and so it will overlap its own lanes and then all of a sudden you only have a 2 m wide machine instead of 4 m, so you end up with a 50% reduction in productivity. Effectively it means you need to run the machine manually at all times (which some enjoy, I know, but it's something to be aware of if you hope to have the AI take over while you do something else).
Unless you love spreading manure or spraying your fields, the lack of fertilizer in the sowers means a lot of extra work to get the maximum yield (unless you switch the game to single fertilization obv), but on that subject: both the sprayers are of a size that fit comfortably in between what's already available and in the game. It's most evident when you do field jobs with the Kuhn pack installed: 80% of the fertilization jobs will use the Kuhn sprayers simply because they have a more suitable size.
Overall: There's nothing wrong with the quality of the equipment in the pack, it just falls short of how relevant any of it is in terms of size or effectiveness, compared to the slightly bigger machines that are in the vanilla game.

I have to say I'm very pleased with this DLC. The equipment is very well modeled, animated, and sounds great. Some of this equipment fills a few holes in the base-game line-up, and some adds new functionality to the game, such as the ability to make square silage bales! (love the optional pink wrapping, by the way.) I had been looking for a good mid-size corn planter mod, but couldn't find one I was pleased with. I'll be using the one included in this pack, along with the front-mount seed tank to fill that hole in my farm's equipment. I also am very pleased with the mower, the round baler with built-in wrapper (which, by the way, won't wrap tedded grass bales, so you can still use it to make hay,) and the belt merger. I hear some people complaining about the price, but with 18 pieces of quality equipment, that comes to less than $0.85 per piece. Definitely a good deal in my book! Great job on this DLC Giants! Keep up the good work.

While I would recommend the dlc pack, I would not recommend for the standard price. The pieces I've found useful are the sprayers (which have a wider working width than the vanilla pieces), the merger (more on that below), and the balers.
The rest, while being nice additions to a small/medium sized farm, are generally not useful for most. The ability to attach multiple pieces together to increase efficiency is nice, but their working widths make using bigger, single-use equipment faster.
(EDIT: The small attachable pieces are 4m working width. A comment added that the pieces ARE useful for a starting farm, as this does increase your efficiency while still using the smaller equipment, though an established farm or those looking for larger pieces will not find them incredibly useful. The 6m cultivator/overseeder (plants oilseed and grass) is useful for most farms, as you are able to cultivate and then plant the radish if you've already plowed, though again, larger equipment will get this done faster. It all comes down to personal choice.)
The tow behind sprayer, while having 'thin' or 'care' wheels, does NOT act like them, and will destroy crops, so be aware of that.
The round baler/wrapper unit is a pain to operate, as you have to manually eject the bales as you go, there is no automated process (unless using another mod). Generally speaking it is more efficient to use the silo bunkers for silage rather than using bales.
The merger, while having a smaller working width than the vanilla windrower (or rake), does have the ability to push the material to one side of it, meaning that alternating up and down the field would result in a wider effective worked area than if you used the rake. Though this does require two passes vs the one from the rake, you decide what you prefer.
Honestly, the rest doesn't interest me. The pieces are too small for me to consider buying in game, as the price for them could go towards a larger piece of equipment to get the job done faster.
The overseeder/cultivators are handy and are a nice addition to see, but again, bigger equipment gets it all done faster, so I don't see the value in game to using the Kuhn equipment vs other pieces.
tl;dr, only about 4-6 of the pieces are worth using in game, and their use is dependent on your use case.
I paid 15 USD for the pack, I would not pay over 10 USD for this (convert to your local currency if needed). Wait for a sale.
(The ability to pick wrap color is a nice option though. white, green, pink, or black wrap)

All the tools look great. I especially like the bale wrapper and the bigger windrower and those will be put to good use on my farm. But the price is a bit steep for what you get. I would wait for steam to put this DLC on sale before purchasing.

Actually a bit better then I was expecting. Equipment looks great, has cool animations, and works well after testing each piece. Great work! Only thing holding this back is the $20 (CAD) price tag "Ouch" Thats a lot for what it is. Half that price would have been a lot more realistic of a price. If your on the fence about buying, I'd wait for a sale. That being said, its a pretty cool DLC pack over all and gets a thumbs up.
