Hello mopardude328, if you go for a shuttle gearbox then I recommend you figure out your most commonly used speed range and then check if there is a gear (stick) shift in that range. Constantly changing gears gets old fast.eg JD quad shift. the 140hp tractor has the 20 speed quad shift. For me this means I can mostly use the quad shift within the B or C range, but the 120 hp tractors have the 24 speed quad shift and I find on many jobs that I am shifting between B and C range frequently.
I agree, it is one thing shifting and using the clutch. I'm a gearhead, don't mind, but having to range shift in the middle of common tasks is way too aggravating.
