Comparison mechanical shuttle vs hydraulic shuttle

[crazyal]

You may also hear the term "power reverser". That's also a hydraulic shuttle and it's talking about the electrically powered valve. On my Case BH there's a neutral switch mounted on both the FEL lever and gear shift lever so don't have to shift into neutral to rev the motor up to operate the FEL faster or shift gears. If given a choice it's what I would choose in a shuttle shift tractor.

My M7040 has the hyd shuttle. Its great for loader work. My dad has an MX5100 with sync mechanical shuttle. Works good you just have to clutch to change directions. He likes it and probably does more loader work than I do.

I prefer the Hyd once you get used to not clutching its smoother and faster and to me the wet clutch is something that should out last a dry clutch.

on the new holland/ford 555c. 4 gears. same speed forward or backwards with hyd shuttle. i would not have it any other way. exception lo/hi gear option would be nice.

i tend to get myself into situations. were you can not really turn around. and being able to reverse directions. quickly and easily. without stretching yourself like an octopus to get to everything can be great. more so time saved, and less grass destroyed.

the old foot clutch, gets old quick. to a point were ya foot goes numb. more so with loader work.
