newholland t6 shuttle lever no good?

[bluebell]

got a newholland t6 155 just over a year old, i was not over happy with the working with the shuttle lever from day one, as i compared the action with other newholland tractors we have, done some roundbaling a few weeks back where you are using the shuttle lever a lot, and the action of finding neutral seemed to get worse, spoke to dealer who hasnt come out to see it, now its got almost dangerous to use, tractor has done just over 140 hours and been used by me only with consideration ? spoke to dealer this morning to voice what ive said here now waiting for some action?

Do mean it isn't working or you don't like the way it works? If the latter I can understand but don't see what you can do about it really. It's a choice nh have made so that more than one way of operation of shuttle can be used simultaneously while other manufacturers must have left hand shuttle locked or in neutral to use other mode

Demand the dealer comes out to see it on safety grounds, supplies and fits a new shuttle FOC !!!!

What is the issue exactly?

 

[bluebell]

the issue is a little hard to describe, but it feels floopy, and doesnt seem to spring into neutral from drive and can be easily be put from drive to reverse instead of neutral?

Unless they've changed the design you push the button for neutral, you don't move the lever.

this has no button on the end?

ive got a 2015 newholland t5. 105 with loader that i use alot that has got the shuttle lever with the button on the end, that why ive started this thread, has anyone got a newholland t6, either new or nearly new and please tell me what shuttle lever is on their model please?

Sidewinder has to have the button and the lever springs back to center as you have alternate shuttle on the right hand joy stick.

Regular T6 has the shuttle that stays in forward or reverse position.

Both work fine.

I’ve a case Puma with button on end of shuttle.

Terrible design if your baling on a bumpy field.

TM shuttle is far better and has a much more user friendly action to it.

We had a neutral button fitted to the joystick on our T6 which is really easy to use with R thumb. It seems more logical than reaching over with L hand to shuttle lever. Consequently I don’t use the brake to stop feature when baling.
