jd 5000 series with parking pawl.

For you folks with the forward reversing tranny with the parking pawl. JD has finally admitted the design flaw. If you have had problems, check with your dealer. They paid me back for my past problems, and I mentioned it to onother owner by chance and JD reimbursed his bill too.

Please explain further. I am considering a JD 5103 (also Kubota MX 5000 and SU 4800). I know these (JD)tractors have the collar shift with "parking pawl". What exactly is/was the problem?

Also, I was going to post a seperate question regarding the shift pattern. I like the "shuttle" on the Kubota machines. Is reverse in line with a forward gear on the JD 5003 series? The website and literature don't explain it. I see on the shift diagram a position way off to the right. I assume this is reverse or the "park" position.

The 03 series IS NOT A sync shift! It also is not a power reverser transmission. This means you have to be at a complete stop to go from forward to reverse. If you step up to the 20 series then it is an inline sync shift.

I realize it is not "synchronized". However, I have noticed that some manufacturers refer to the ability to shift "in line" from forward to reverse as a "shuttle" shift.
As opposed to a "synchro-shuttle".

For example. The Kubota SU 4800 has a "synchro-shuttle". Low range forward to reverse without stopping, but still requiring the clutch. The Kubota
MX 5000 has the same transmission, but it's not synchronized. Low range forward to reverse is "in line" for ease of shifting. You must come to a complete stop before shifting. They refer to this as a "shuttle". I think LongAgribusiness refers to their inline, non-synchronized fwd/rev as a "shuttle" to.
