How heavy on the loader work McCormick 100 series can be got cheap but there are better shuttles out there

What are the clutches like on them ? Heard they can be a bit jumpy trying to hitch up etc

No issues with ours did put a new clutch in it a few months ago however old man is a lunatic

The clutch bite point is very hit and miss , well on mine anyway ! It's fine if little load and on level ground but trying to slip clutch on a hill while attempting to do precise work like line up pallet tines or bale handler etc can be very erratic . But then it's an electric clutch and none are perfect on this front , you can't beat a deere perma clutch for precise control , the down side being the deere's are a bit heavier on the pedal . The cx is however a great little loader tractor for the money with excellent visibility to your four corners , bonnet slopes nicely as well and the cab is a decent size with good access through both doors . There is a clutch dump button on the gear lever with is very easy to solder a surplus button on your loader joystick into which can be handy . However it has a 3 position slide switch for powershift changes making it impossible to tee these into the joystick like you can with other makes which is a shame . They are a very light tractor though for 100hp and a counter weight is needed for all but light work on level surfaces

Size of loader does make a difference q55 on ours is a little big. Does spend a bit of time on 3 wheels

JX Case NH equivalent a very good contender.

Red or Blue? - MF 5455 series or NH TS100?

How about this little jem. Only 2000hrs with mechanical shuttle. No electrics to play up. Air con and the best bit is it's in budget £17500

Rightly or wrongly i'd prefer to stick with mainstream brands, got a very good case/mccormick dealer nearby, that are as genuine as they come,

mechanical shuttle says it all!!!!

Care to expand on that ?

Same tractor as mccormick cmax just different colour. Mechanical shuttle was very good on this model

I like mine, just coming up to 7000 hrs in 10 years, no problems so far. Bit light on the back. It was only £20G new

Hard to beat in this category,miles ahead of the Deere 5r/m,MF 5440 etc.Should get a nice one for £20k ish now.

generally i would say a proper shuttle would be better but as someone says if they arnt too bad on this model and if fits your need it could be right
