Who needs 8 speeds in reverse? ME! Ok, I don't even think I've been in top gear reverse, but those low range gears in reverse are awsome for puting on implements, especially the BH. Makes me realize just how darn fast reverse is on my TO20!
As far as the back and forth thing with the loader, that's great most of the time. The rest of the time I want to change speeds too, which means two levers (yes, HST would be great there, but I don't like it for other reasons). And sometimes I even want to change ranges, which is three levers! If I have a pile of stuff to move that is located some distance away, I'll go into the pile very slow, cause I'm not that good, and then I want to speed up to move to wherever I'm going.
Overall, I still think shuttle shift is great, and I didn't realize how helpful those slow reverse gears would be.
