Server friend decided life was too difficult, so we started over on a custom map with 20 million each. Here's me after carefully loading some front lifter attachments into the back of my new truck.
The map is pleasant valley, and it is mostly just big and flat. A bit like oklahoma. The north bits are nicer and I built a house and barn and a giant farmer shed.
The landscaping stuff was super broken though. There was like a huge cliff off the front of the shed, and I could only do so much because of the trees. So I chopped 2 down and loaded the wood on a truck. This took FOREVER
I tried to take it to a sell point but none of them were interested. Eventually I figured out the sawmill thing but not before I had scattered logs over half the map. At one point I just decided to push the trees into the river, but I got too close to the edge.
The view from my front porch
Back yard is a forest

If you don't want to outright cheat but still want easy money you can abuse the buy/sell land mechanics. The price for land is the same for both buying and selling and doesn't factor in the state of the crops. Let the AI plant & fertilize and buy the plot when ready to harvest, even if you have to take out loans. Harvest/sell crops then sell the land back for the same price as you bought it. Way more money that way than contracting to harvest for the AI owner. A lot of times the AI is lazy and won't plow or lime their fields so the yields might be lower but still it's easy money, especially if your combine is sitting idle waiting on your own fields.

One thing that is terrible, the stick / wheel support. I dug a flight stick out of the depths of a closet and hooked it up. The tiniest registered motion results in your vehicle spearing sideways off the road into the nearest tree.
It really looks like whoever programmed it just hooked up a single random stick and checked to make sure it moved the front wheels and called it good. Instead of analog move amount == steering wheel position, there's this extra acceleration for the wheel moving towards the target position. Luckily at 200% that is pretty fast.
They also really screwed up the deadzones. Normally a deadzone is an area around the neutral position that is at rest, so you don't get constant tiny movements. In this game if you set 10%, then when you reach the edge of the deadzone, 10% movement is immediately applied instead of 1% the way it should be. So if you carefully move the analog you get nothing nothing nothing BOOM instant snap sideways.
I ended up using this guide Steam Community :: Guide :: Adjusting joystick sensitivity & curves for any joystick. with two profiles bound to a couple of really weird buttons I never use. One is for high speed driving, the other for slow maneuvering / parking type stuff. The high speed profile barely allows any turning at all.
