M5040 vs Grand L GST

[SCDolphin]

I need info on operation the Hyro shuttle vs the normal HST systems. I can't decide between the ne M5040 vs the GL4630 GST. I will be doing a lot of fel work.

When using the shuttle shift on either model with RPM set at lets say 2000 rpm, do I have to bring it to a complete stop and clutch to go forward - reverse? On the JD e-reverser no clutch is needed and the rpms can remain high going forward -reverse.

No clutch required shifting gears, or changing direction. you could almost take the clutch pedal off. with the GST. I sometimes use it parking close to the wall in the shop. but most of the time just use the shuttle lever. I like it
Good Luck. WW

Do you have to decrease engine RPM when using the GST? Or can you keep the engine at 2000 RPM while changing forward to reverse and back?

No need to change the RPMs.
