Maybe it's like FIFA box art and everyone roots for a different kind of tractor.

So I know too much about this purely because I work for a video production company and AGCO are one of our clients so I edit and animate a lot of corporate videos for them.
So AGCO are a large agricultural company, manufacturing parts and also own large vehicle brands such as Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Valtra, Challenger and others. While AGCO started in the states they also have a massive presence in the EU. In the late 90's they bought Fendt and started building a huge EU headquarters location in Germany where Fendt was based and leading the market. So AGCO already owned Massey Ferguson before Fendt and Massey (the red tractors) are beru popular not only in the US but also in places like the UK, France and other parts of Europe. While Fendt was popular in Germany and other countries, other brands like Valtra started making a name for themselves in Finland.
I imagine Fendt being the prominent tractor of choice on the box art is a mixed choice for Focus and also a brand choice from AGCO - who would have licensed the rights to their vehicles and brands to be used in the game. Fendt is the most common type of tractor in Germany, you'll like only ever see green tractors driving around, while in England for example it is mostly red tractors, which is ofcourse Massey Furguson... also you can't show both... oh god you really can't show both. The brands, while owned by the same parent company, do not play together - they are there own identity. So I have to make edits that only feature one kind of brand, or design multiple assets such as tractors for animations and while the content of the final product doesn't change the actual colours, fonts and tractors will.
While I doubt anyone will question my knowledge on this, here's some screenshots from films/animations I've made/edited in the spoiler box below:
I'd also like to point out, I know far too much about tractors and combine harvesters because of this job... and I hate them both equally. After 2 years... I could talk about just the brand politics or engine sizes or RGB value's for brand colours -- for hours and hours.

This looks like one of those AA, B-C tier PS2 titles that you would find at an EB Games used somewhere in 2005 for $14.99, something that G4 briefly went over during a 2 minute obscure games you might want to check out blurb.
imagining teenager bedrooms now with tractor posters instead of singers/actors.
lmao holy crap, UIG is going all in on Switch.
they had all these games planned for Wii U - amazon UK listings with box art appeared around 18 months ago or so (well, joe's diner was already on the eShop).
Bad Land Games' logo destroys an otherwise awesome Axiom Verge box art
Oh and that last box art, Eden Games, didn't they make Test Drive Unlimited? Isn't that Switch game the same in all but the Test Drive name?
