I just picked up a brochure on the new clutchless shuttle shift on M5700 through M9000 ROPs and cab models. When did this getb introduced? I didn't even see anything about it on the kubota website. I use an M8200 where I work and this feature would be some nice to have.
If I'm not mistaken, the clutchless shuttle became standard on the M5700 early last year. But hydraulic shuttles have been available on 40-60 hp Kubota L models since around 1985. When the M4700 and M5400 were introduced they were less fancy models - they have gradually been offerred with more features, more power, and now more hydraulics.
