M6800 mech shuttle vs hydraulic
Hey guys, on an M6800 with a mech shuttle aka "utility special", I hear they're undesireable on a tractor of that size. What's the real deal? Will it fail or be unreliable compared to hydraulic? I know it'll be cheaper to fix, trouble is I'm afraid I'll be fixing it too much.
Anyone have a 6800 with mech shuttle?
