Yes, the trans is full syncro. I had a 4600 2WD with collar shift (unsyncro). The tractor had plenty of power. I now have a 4610 MFWD ehydro. Even with the hydro, it still has plenty of power.

Your high, middle, and low range are not synchro but your 1-4 gear range is synchro.

Looking at my 4000 series brochure, it's just like cowboydoc said, The gears are synchro, the range isn't and the reverser is clutchless. The range thing isn't a big deal either as one would only change ranges once or twice in a whole day, in my experience at least.

I have a 4600 with power reverser and if you want a good tractor that will do things that you never thought a tractor of that size could do then buy it and do not look back. The MX6 brush cutter is a sweet match along with the 460 FEL, (but only if the 4600 is 4WD) even though it is not required. Also have the dealer install the extendable links, you will love em.
Oh and by the way the 4-speed tranny is fully synch. (shift on the fly). The low, mid and high range are not.
