I special ordered my Kubota M7040 with a hydraulic shuttle simply because I use it A LOT for loader work. People have already stated that a hydraulic shuttle will last longer than a mechanical shuttle if used a lot. That may or may not be true. The main reason I got it is that you can shift "on the fly" when changing directions between forward and reverse. ie. no clutching. Great for loader work. If you're going to use it mainly for mowing pastures though you should be fine with a mechanical shuttle.

Hmmm, shouldn't this thread be in 'Kubota Owning/Operating'?
