Gear transmission...How do you get 4 reverse gears with 2 or 3 ranges.??
Such as on the L2800.

I can't say on a L2800, but on our 2550 JD you have 4 synchronized gears on the right shifter and the left shifter has High range, Low range and Reverse. Low and reverse ranges are in line for shuttling back and forth. I would imagine the Kubota is similar.
So what you are saying is your 2550 has 12 reverse gears, correct.??
The L2800 has 8F/4R.?? The first reply may well be right.?? I still don't fully understand.?? No hi/low range in reverse.?

At a GUESS it is a 4 speed box, with a "2 range box" on forward.
This is the correct answer. At least in the case of the L2800 and L3400's.
The shuttle shifter has high low and reverse. The gearshift on the transmission hump itself is 1-2-3-4.
So you can have R1, R2, R3, and R4 for reverse
For forward you have L1, L2, L3, L4, H1, H2, H3, H4. A total of 8 forward speeds.
My only complaint on the L2800 and L3400 tranny and speeds is that Low forward and Reverse aren't the same gear ratios. Meaning that R4 is FASTER than L4, R3 is faster than L3, etc. So when mowing or doing bucket work, where shifting the shuttle shifter from Low to Reverse quite frequently, it is a PITA going faster in reverse at times.
