it works... what can I say? JUST MY OPINION... I still dont like the idea of throwing anything into forward while still traviling in reverse, or vise-versa. That goes for cars, pickups, trucks, dozers, backhoes, tractors or anything that moves.
I used to do some cotton farming in west texas. I had 2 John Deere 8100's and 3 john deere 4440's. The 8100's had the capability to go from forward to reverse in any geer at any speed. WOW! THE MACHINE WOULD DO IT. I instructed my drivers to use a little commen sence about changing direction. I had to fire 1 of my drivers for doing this at high speeds. About a year later I was in the dealer's shop, and noticed my neighbor had his tractor in there and it was scattered over about 500 square feet. Come to find out, my ex driver went to work for my neighbor and was doing the "wild thing" just like the salesman showed us and he ripped 5 of the 7 clutch-packs out of the machine. (not covered in the warrenty) Yes I spent a little more time changing directions for several years, and my neighbor spent several thousand dollars and a week in the shop right at planting season. That hurts, That hurts real bad.
My money comes hard, I try to make it last. But again, that is just my opinion.
