How to know if Tools and Fuel are allowed by the Farmer hiring you.

There are several different options for the farm owner allowing or not allowing the use of their tools and fuel. The information you need, is in the Hire offer that is sent to you.

To know if you're going to be able to use the employers tools and/or fuel you will need to read the information in the hire request:

Example 1: None of the Farm Owners Tools or Fuel are allowed.

Left picture below, there is no mention of use of tools or fuel being allowed. It only lists the types of jobs and how many farms. If you click on Which of your tools can I use for this job? you will see the picture on the right tells you their tools are out of service.

You will need to use your own Tools and Fuel for this job.

Example 2: Farm Owners Tools are allowed but NOT the use of their Fuel.

Left picture below, red arrow indicates where you will see tools are allowed. If you click on Which of your tools can I use for this job? (left picture, red box) you would then see the picture on the Right, red box indicates where their their largest tools will be listed.

You can use their tools or your own tools, but you do not have use of their fuel.
You will be using your own fuel If you do not have much fuel you need to consider if you will be able to complete the work using your own. If you accept the work and run out of fuel, you will need to refuel or you will have to let the farm owner know so they can either allow the use of their fuel or if they can't, hire someone else who has some.

Example 3: Farm Owners Tools allowed, Fuel allowed LAST.

Left picture below, red arrow indicates where you will see if Fuel is used LAST.
You do not see how much Fuel they have.
If you click on Which of your tools can I use for this job? (left picture, red box) you would then see the picture on the Right, red box indicates where their their largest tools will be listed.

You can use their tools or your own tools.
You will be using your fuel first until you run out then you will be using the farm owners fuel if they have any.

You can use your tools or theirs and will be using their Fuel FIRST

Important additional information:
If the farm owner runs out of fuel during the work, you will then need to use your own Fuel to complete the job.
