GENERAL LS QUESTIONS THREAD .... Ask and Answer

I just ordered my xr4046Hc today with backhoe and the 12 and 16" bucket. I should be getting it in about a week. I am like a kid in a candy store.

Looks like the new model XU5065 CPS - is a cab w/power shuttle. 65hp/53.4pto. Looks like a nice tractor. If the XU series came with Hydrostat, I'd have a hard time keeping my R4047

That looks like a nice tractor, and a good size, not too "large" as in frame size. Any idea what the msrp is for these?

Dave, how wide is your P7030? What loader does it have? That sounds like a nice setup as well, how about the msrp on that tractor?

Ok, quick question, is the EZ-automated manual transmission just a funny name for a power shuttle? As in R4047EZ.

I have the wheels set at the widest and it's 90". The loader is the LL7100 and the MSRP is around 45K.

more or less from the sounds of it. Sounds pretty gimmicky though; from the posts here from the guys that have them, you press the button when you plan to change direction, and you have to wait for it to activate. At that point is just rather use the clutch!

Actually there is no button to press when changing direction.. just move the shuttle lever forward or reverse and the auto clutch works on it own. There is a button on the shifter that electrically activates the clutch if you prefer not to use the pedal.

OK, I must have misunderstood you before then... So you press the button on the shifter to put it into "EZ" mode, then you move the shuttle shifter like normal, only you don't use the clutch? I thought I remember you (or someone?) say that it pauses and decides whether or not it will actually shift without the clutch ?? Something about it beeps ?

The button on the shifter only acts as another way to engage the clutch. Going from forward into reverse or vice versa is done without clutching at all. Your speed must be at or below a certain point when you move the shuttle lever. If your moving too fast, you will hear a beep and it wont change gears (forward or reverse) until a lower spped is achieved. If I am moving too fast and I get the beep.. I just tap the brake to slow down a bit, then it shifts. Hope this clarifies.
