Massey Ferguson "Shuttles"

[GAM]

Which Massey Ferguson shuttle is the least troublesome?

Manual shuttle or Electric Power shuttle?

I have the opportunity to purchase two almost identical tractors, one has a Manual 12x12 the other a 24 Power Shuttle, thoughts and advice please...

manual always

Manual in older 300 series give bother in my experience
And you have to clutch to use it.
Power control shuttle would get my vote

It’s on a 4365

Personally I'd go power shuttle. Save the left knee

Iv 2 with manual shuttle and never any problems. Wouldnt buy a powershuttle as they had a bad name back when they were popular round here in the 42/43 series tractors

Is the problem with the power shuttle not something about where the lube pump is drove from. If 1 to 4 gear lever Is in neutral and the shuttle in fwd say then the plates in the unit aren't cooled. More operator than tractor fault.

I would rather Manuel but rhw power is nice

I would have the powershuttle, in fact I do have one and very good it is too
I take it the 12 x 12 doesn't have speedshift ? which again is well worth having

I’d choose a 32x32 in a 62/64 or a 16x16 D4 in a 54/56 over either of those.

Erm, I can't quite see why this is relevant to my question?

Because they are better than both of them.

Your choice but I’d have neither.

If one has a wet clutch and the other didn't, that would swing it for me

 

[Steevo]

Surely this a perfect question for @Cowabunga

Very Nice..
I’m looking at 4255 with a shuttle box and just been offered a 4355 12x12 manual shuttle, we have a 390 12x12 again manual shuttle, very pleased with the 390.
