Well...the Baler looks good on the small picture. The texture isn't really sharp and some part just look like.."hurry up, we need to finish"; the mower looks ok. The Spreader could need a higher normals angle. It's not that pretty if you can see all of the segments.
The Terra PL is the best Model. Good polycount, good texture!

My verdict of the 4 mods for the Vicon contest:

Vicon Stilo 750/950 Pack by ALS 7.5/10
Nice compact sowers with plenty of details but you can see the ribs on the hopper caused by using sketchup

Vicon Terra PL by Fendt413 6/10
Nice texture, but I have to get the Manitou each time with the pallet forks to try and set it up so I can attach it to the tractor. Shame.

Vicon LB12200 Baler by SamN 8.5/10
This is clearly Sam's best mod of his two, a lot more features than the wagon, but I don't like the texture

Vicon Expert 431F by Claasjaguar870
Simple mower, which does the job. Your kverneland one is streets ahead though 8.5/10

I think you are a little harsh on the sower and baler. How the hell is the vicon terra any good if it falls over? You can't attach it half time without a loader to lift it

[hillclaas]

I voted for the baler, looks cool and i actually like the bale size.
 2nd would be the Stilo
 3rd is the Expert
 Last= Terra PL, may have nicest texture but i swear i just give it a dirty look and it falls over, i deleted it already.

   Vicon LB12200 Baler by SamN

   Vicon Expert 431F by Claasjaguar870
7/10: Nice job overall, like it. Gets my vote here!
   

[r3ggo111]

Right. May as well voice my opinions here too.

ALS's Sower. I'll give it an 8. It does the job and its a good bit of modeling.  I give it my vote for reasons i won't go into.

SamN's baler. I'll give it a 7. Its a good simple model, wiith a nice basic script.

I'll give the Subsoiler thingy a 8.5. I rather like it, and i haven't had any problems attaching it.

And lastly the mower. I'll give it a 7.5. Very basic but does the job rather well.

Vicon Stilo 750/950 Pack by ALS 7/10

Pros=Easy to use sowers
Cons=Ribs on the out and inside of the model, makes it look a little fake.

Vicon Terra PL by Fendt413 5/10

Pros=Nice texture
Cons=Falls over everytime, I got so angry trying to set it up with the loader that it made it completely useless for me.

Vicon LB12200 Baler by SamN 8.5/10

Pros=Great baler, fun and easy to use. Due to it having the strawmod script it felt like an old friend.
Cons=Texture on the baler leaves alot to be desired. Found the bales to be an odd shape..

Vicon Expert 431F by Claasjaguar870 8/10

Pros= Simple, useful mower.
Cons=None to my knowledge...The mower gets my vote.

My verdict:

VICON LB 12200                                     9.5/10
This gets my vote. It has a cool texture, strawmod, and it's small! But the bales are a bit big in both model and fill!

VICON STILO 750/950                             ?/10
Forgot to test! ARGHH!

VICON TERRA PL                                      7/10
Kind of a B**** to screw around with, took forever to get it up. But I do like the rear hitch option!

VICON EXPERT                                         7.5/10
Just a frontmower. What else?

[Sam123]

Alright, let's give you guys my verdict.

1. ClaasJaguar870's Vicon EXPERT 431F   8/10

A very nice little mower. Standard scripts, no frills, kind of like ALS' STILO. But, the model is better looking, and the texture isn't bad either. It grabs first place for me, and thus gains my vote.

2. ALS' Vicon STILO 750/900 7.5/10

Very simple, effective, works quite well. Model is very bare though, and the rims which you can see on both the model and the filling plane kind of put me off to it. But, it's a very nice no-frills mod, which is great.

3. SamN's Vicon LB 12200 6.5/10

A Strawmod baler, but with the size of the bale actually to the dimensions that the real baler produces. Very nice touch. The Strawmod script is the best baler script there is, period. Somehow R3ggo111 manages to find this a basic script. It's not, it's quite elaborate, but relatively easy of course to apply to a baler that has the same setups as Bayn's original New Holland BB980.

However, being a texture man, that counts for a lot in my judgement. Reflective textures are in my eyes a dreadful thing. You may like them, I despise them. The textures are without that also below what I expected of SamN. His JD looked very nice, very elegant and well textured. This is however a photo-based texture. Such a shame, could have been a brilliant baler on all counts. Model is also very light, lighter then the New Holland, which makes the handling a bit awkward at times.

4. Fendt413's Vicon TERRA PL 6/10

A ripper is a simple machine, but in this case, quite an impressive model. The textures are detailed, clear, and clearly the strong point of this modder. The AO texture also scores big points in my book. However, a mod stands or falls (both literally and figuratively in this case) with the finishing touches. Buying this mod, it just drops on its face, and plays dead. That kind of kills the mod for me. I know, it's not a huge fix, but it's annoying enough for me to put it in 4th place.

Vicon Stilo 750/950 Pack by ALS : 8.0/10 Nice mod. But not the best quality one either. Functionality over looks mainly. But then again. If your using it while your in the cab. Its fine, I haven't seen other spreaders like this for FS11 its original. and the components are nicely detailed.  

Vicon Terra PL by Fendt413 : 7.0/10 The main reasons for the low score is 1. Some of the functions dont work.
and 2. It always falls over when you buy it. But when you eventually hook it up and use it. Its not that bad. The looks of this mod are outstanding though. Good job

Vicon LB12200 Baler by SamN : 8.5/10 Really nice baler. But iam not really liking the simple textures. Like the chain where the bales exit.  But i do like the reflection textures. And functionality is also prevailing over looks a little in this mod to. I like the control setup. I love the tires also . Awesome mod

Vicon Expert 431F by Claasjaguar870 : 9.0/10 Simple. Noting complex. But thats not always bad. The looks are pretty good. It functions the way it should. But the sounds are used to much in other mowers. That lowers the score. But the simplicity is good for this mod. I like it. And it takes my vote

[jka300]

Well, here was another hard decision to be made. Once again it came down to 2 choices for me. I tried to figure which one was better but couldn't decide so I flipped a coin.

Vicon Stilo 750/950 Pack by ALS  (8.5/10)
I was really excited when I seen this mod since I haven't seen this in FS11. The overall looks of the mod is good to average. the skin is nice but those ridges really cause problem for its looks. I can't complain about the script, everything work perfectly.  

Vicon Terra PL by Fendt413  (5/10)
I'm sorry to say but this is my lowest scored mod. Don't get me wrong the model and the texture is awesome but it drives me nuts when I have to use the loader to hook it up. It reminds me of a dog, when you get close it rolls over because it wants a belly scratch. There were some other problems too with the script but I will keep them to myself since I said enough bad things.

Vicon LB12200 Baler by SamN  (9/10) (Heads)

Well, SamN, I have to say this mod is alot better than your other one. It is a really nice baler. The script works great with it and I also like the controls. The only problem with it is the textures, aren't up to the standards you usually put out. But otherwise it got my vote.

Vicon Expert 431F by Claasjaguar870  (9/10) (Tails)

I really have no complaints about it. Its simple which is not a bad thing. The texture and the script were good. Its still a winner in my books but the coin decide on heads today instead of tails.

[George10]

well a voted for AlS nice mod cause it fits in where me and ALS live  10/10 good work bud

and the kverneland mower 10/10 good work cj 870
