Thanks Mike. I got the Sync Shift, one step down from the reverser tranny, and am really enjoying it. I will not elaborate on that as the hydro vs. gear topic already gets plenty of attention. Having power steering, live pto, shift on the go,and a loader is like night and day for me compared to the old Ford 2000. I do have to be more careful on the steep grades as the 4310 is not a stable as the Ford. My only problems are some bounce in the fuel gauge and the instrument panel started fogging up today. I will talk to my dealer next week about that. I might ask him to just supply me the parts and I'll put in a new fuel sender and the antifog glass kit myself when I do my 50 hour service. That will give me an excuse to buy the service manual for it now instead of after the warranty expires.
