Took the plunge for a MY2012 5085M.

Edward you said:

"I didn't want the PowrReverser because it has too many things and I had previous problems on the old 5085M."

So..Is this the same thing as a 16x16 puwer shuttle?

also...

What is "continuous flow on the SCVs...?" Does this mean you cannot run a hydraulic motor on one of the SCV?


Mike

I'll let Edward answer the first, but continuous flow is just as it sounds. On a normal hydraulic valve, you open it and then you let go and it closes. Think of it on your loader if you have one, you pull the lever for it to go up and down, let go and it stops. On a continuous flow you open the valve and it doesn't stop until you switch it off. I.E. if you have a hydraulic bush hog for a skid steer you turn continuous flow on and it will power the blades continuously until you turn it off, without continuous flow you would have to hold the SCV in the open position to allow hydraulic fluid to flow and the blades to turn which would get kind of tiring.

A PowrReverser is a reverser transmission I had problems on my old 5085M with the reverser not working, since lots of my 5xxxs have syncshuttles I thought it was a good idea to get a syncro transmission with no reverser.

On the 3 SCV option theres a little knob on top of the remote where you can set for No Detent, Continuous and Flow Control. I can run a hydraulic motor but I need to have my hand on it until its sore but now I dont have to with the new tractor.

Thanks Martian for answering it, I couldn't put it together as nice as you.
