In the gameAuto grading
In Farming Simulator 25: a tractor pulling the DA Rotary Ditcher RD10, its black disc cutting the ditch and throwing the soil to the side. The Ditch Assist screen says On grade, over the ditch's profile from start to end.
The RD10 cutting the ditch, on grade.

Two implements. One screen.

In the shop under Brands › Ditch Assist. Each one carries a GPS receiver and the Ditch Assist module.

The DA Pull Scraper 14: an orange scraper bowl on two wheels with the Ditch Assist logo on its side, a GPS mast over the bowl and the Ditch Assist module on its hitch arm.

Up and running in four steps.

  1. Install it.

    Put FS25_DitchAssist.zip in your mods folder. Leave it zipped. Tick it in the mod list when you start or load a career. Where's the mods folder?

  2. Buy and hitch.

    Buy the scraper or the ditcher in the shop. In a tractor, Left Alt + H hitches it.

  3. Survey and design.

    Implement up, press Left Alt + D at one end and drive the ditch line. Press it again at the other end: Slope-IQ™ designs the best-fit grade to the outlet.

  4. Cut it.

    Left Alt + D to start grading. Lower the implement and drive the line. Left Alt + Up for the next pass.

The Slope-IQ Design card in the game: the surveyed ground, the best-fit grade under it, and the depth, minimum grade, cut per pass and outlet.

The Ditch Assist screen.

Set your minimum grade and let Slope-IQ™ solve the design — it follows the natural slope where it works, cuts through any humps that hold back flow, and moves the least dirt possible to reach final grade.

Set the deepest cut your machine can pull in one pass. Auto-Nudge™ sets each pass target from the original ground, never deeper than that and never below final grade.

Drain the wet spots.

On farms made with ModMyFarm, the wettest ground in every field holds water, grows a shorter crop and yields less. Cut a ditch into it and the whole wet spot dries out, back to full yield.

Hitch a Ditch Assist implement and purple drainage routes show where the water runs, on the ground and on the map, arrows pointing downhill. The wet spots show on the map too, until you drain them.

Ponds, lakes and wetlands on the map stay as they are.
