I'm turned sideways, my left hand is on the wheel and due to space considerations I'm doing a 20 point turn. With a shuttle, I'd let go of the wheel and flip the shuttle or more likely sit awkwardly with my left hand on the shuttle so I could be ready to bounce from gear to neutral, neutral to gear over and over while at the same time I steer with my right hand as I try to pay attention to the work being done in behind me.
If I have 100% of my attention to work with, shuttles require more attention to operate the machine than HSTs and that attention given to the machine saps attention given to the work being done with the machine and situational awareness around the machine.
