Tool Work Lines adds visual guide lines to help you see exactly where your tools and implements will work before you start the job. Hold the show-lines key and the mod displays left/right work-width indicators on the ground, plus a dotted center guide line. This helps with lining up passes more accurately when mowing, cultivating, plowing, seeding, spraying, using bale equipment, and working with other tools.

Beta Notice
This is a beta release. The main work-line system is working well, but some tools may still use fallback detection if they do not provide standard work-area data. Please report any tools that show incorrect width, position, or direction so support can be improved in future updates.

– Added projection-style guide lines for front loader attachments.

Added support for loader tools such as:
– Buckets, pallet forks, bale forks, bale spikes, grapples, similar front loader attachments
– Attachment projection lines now follow the attachment’s current pointing angle/height instead of snapping flat to the ground.

– Rear/default tool lines, front attachment projection lines
