Security & Theft New R4041EZ On The Way..

[I have no memory]

I'll be interested to see how this works. Usually with a power shift there are at least two clutches. One clutch keeps you engaged to power while the other one shifts. This means you can changes speeds under load without stopping. If the LS works like that cool. If it's just a single electro hydraulically actuacted clutch then it's just replacing your foot. Changing speeds under load is what I use 95% of the time in the PS.

The other advantage to the HST and PS tractors is that, (in many cases), they have a wet clutch while the gear drive is often a dry clutch. The wet clutch will outlast the dry clutch every time.

Gary, you know they make these things called seat belts too! I know I rarely wear mine too but I always put it on my kids when their in the instructor seat.

boomer, I had the same thing happen to me. I ordered a 4010hydro and they call the next day and said that it would weeks before it could be delv.They asked if I would be intrested in a 4020 hydro for about 600.00 more, which is what i wanted in the frist place. LS is really working hard to get tractors out there and seem to be catching on fast. I stopped at the dealer last week and he told me he is busy keeping up with LS deliveries.

To answer that question, yes, you can shift under load. While tilling at 2150 rpm I shifted from 2(range) and 2nd to 3rd, rpm stayed up, smooth shift, smoother than if I had done it with the clutch : )

Im sure the push button thing will take some getting used to...

FYI, the EZ-shift is electronically controlled, so it's pretty different from a Yanmar Powershift. If you ever decide that you don't like it you can remove the electronics and convert it back to their standard shuttle setup very easily.... which I think is a nice inexpensive safety net for anybody that's leary of the electronics.

That'd be good to know. I'm quite happy with my gear(shuttle) shift tho. Don't think I could ever get used to pushing a button instead of a clutch pedal... I like that the gear models also get more HP from the engine than a hydro or ez shift tranny can.

The EZ shift is a gear tranny with same pto hp as standard gear. It has the usual clutch pedal too. The button is there if you chose to use it. No clutching or stopping when shifting from forward to reverse
