At one week old, we are still in the honey-moon phase, but the 541 loader seems to be an improvement for me over the 540.Same dependable FWD and the PowerReverser is a joy next to a Sync Shuttle. ISO station, mid mount hydrolics and 2 rear remotes make work(life) much easier. The turbo seems to be quieter as compared to the 5210, certainly more peppy in the upper gear ranges. The 4 spd. main transmission(4 over 3) gives much more usefulness as compared to the 3 spd.(3 over 3). It is just easier to find the right gear to suit the task at hand with the extra gear.
