There was a circlip that went loose in the back end when they first came out on some of a certain serial number but that should be sorted now

No i don’t think it’s to do with the circlip….think it’s the lunge it makes changing between D and E (or C and D can’t remember which one it was when I test drove a couple) I will ask the farmer I know what theirs is being recalled for when I see them

My 113N hi tech 5 is slow to change range most noticeable between C and D range. Changes faster when oil up to temperature.
I have no qualms about the gearbox but I’ve never had a JD maybe if I’d had one I might think differently

Same here n103,you learn to ‘use’ a gearbox.
I like the flexibility of our hi tech 5.

Seemingly they've made improvements on the new 5 series that coming out.one being the range change between C an D.

Pretty sure our N113 had a software update
I get a little bemused by all the folks who complain about slow range changes......
Go learn to drive a Davy Broon 995 with the 12 speed crash shift (non synchro), or the ford rubix cube column lever, or a 5 speed zetor with the luxury of 4th to 5th synchro, but absolutely no brakes whatsoever, then you'll maybe begin to understand

Weve had a few zetors I can remember one if you nearly stalled it but managed to catch it in time all forward gears became reverse and reverse was forward. Stop it and start it again and it went back to normalI get a little bemused by all the folks who complain about slow range changes......

Aye, the engine would run turning backwards!
Zetor were phenomenally capable machines in their day, and taught you how to operate machinery with skill, understanding, and a large repair hammer, but they were also definitely a rather eccentric development of the iron horse

Braking with the pedals split so you could press one harder than the other to stop in a straight line. The 4340 was my favourite with the family cabAye, the engine would run turning backwards!

I learned on a MF 35x and went from there
Started driving wagons on Bedford TK’s
Just because they get a job done doesn’t mean they are any use

Is it just a slow change though or is the change getting slower with use?
Ones just the way it is, the other is on the way to problems.
It's neither
The range changes are fully robotised, shifting in fractions of a second.
BUT if you press the button for a shift when pulling 20 tonnes up hill, it seems like they're slow because, surprise surprise, gravity makes the tractor slow down
Why? Because it's a full declutch range change. Those who complain haven't had to learn the art of full double declutching to match rpm, up AND downhill

That's not fair, the 35x is a great tractor!!

There must be a problem if they are upgrading them.
A good auto shift will range change fast enough to keep momentum a bad one wont.
Of course if the hills too steep and the loads to heavy, you end up back in first gear and out of options.

Still slow on the flat with no load
