Jinma Shuttle Shift

[mitchash]

I have a 06/07 Jinma 254 with the creeper gear that I never use and since I now have a Coldwater loader the shuttle shift option would be nice. I was wondering if it was worth putting a shuttle shift in and if so how much would it cost? I would guess I would have to split the tractor and take out the creeper gear.
Thanks,
Ash

I think it would be simple and easier to just trade for a different tractor with shuttle shift. As far as I know, the 06 JM 254 didn't offer shuttle shift, but I could very well be mistaken.

The cost to change it over would be over $ 4,000.00 With new Shuttle assembly , linkage, cable, hand lever,brakets, ect

I guess not having the shuttle shift isn't so bad.

I bought my tractor new (in crate) for $5999. and the shuttle shift was an option then, but I read on here that they had problems with them.

Too bad you passed on shuttle shift. In my estimation, the problems I've read about have generally been superficial; usually external and typically and an easy fix.

I use my creeper gear all the time. I don't think I would want to be without it

Shuttle Ron, not creeper.

No, Creeper gear... I do not have shuttle shift. I use creeper(low low) gear nearly every time I use my tractor, particularly when I am working with dirt...

You missed my point. This topic is about shuttle shifts, not creeper gears. The mid-connect box can contain either shuttle gears or creeper gears, not both. Shuttle is a lever that takes reverse off the gear shift and lets you go into reverse regardless of what gear you're in.

You missed my point greg I know what a shuttle shift does, and that you cannot have both... The OP was wanting to give up creep for shuttle, and I was stating my opinion that I would not be without my creeper gear. It allows me to be very precise with loader or impliment placement. I guess if I was moving piles from point A to point B all day, then a shuttle might be nice, but then again so would something like a bobcat that is more suited to pure loader work...
