Box Scraper Box Blade Question???

   / Box Blade Question??? #11  
How does shift? I should go for a demo at the dealer, but I'd be interested in your opinions if you can compare the shifting to the earlier 9000s. They shifted great for a tractor. My 105 shifts more like a tank with a Czech gearbox.

I can't compare to the earlier 9000s, but I can tell you that the transmission was quite firm to shift when new. Now that i've got some hours on the Hobbs and things are broken-in, shifting has become more smooth and fluid.

Wow, sounds smooth as 10 grit toilet paper!

Well, not quite that badly, just not as light as the 9000. The biggest trouble is getting it into third gear- the shiftgate is very stiff and sometimes won't go into third, especially when roading it. Dealer was quite surprised to hear that, especially after almost 500hrs on the meter. I expect them to take care of it when things slow down and I can lay it up for a while.
