Valtra t175 shuttle lever

[nosmokenopoke]

Has anyone converted left hand reverser of a t175 back to old t174 style? Can it be done? New idea is hellish! Even more so when old lhr setup was perfect.

Still being on T2 and T3 Valtra myself, what has changed ?

Instead of having a 4 position lever.
handbrake, neutral, forward and reverse it’s now a 2 position lever. Hand brake and out of hand brake.
out of hand brake position it acts like a switch, nudge forward for forward. Nudge back and it’s straight into reverse, to get neutral you need to push down towards handbrake! Not ideal when you operate one of each

Maybe time to replace the other one then

Are the levers the same design and position etc?

Always thought it the best shuttle hand brake setup,case is very similar just press for neutral.

It’s because forward/reverse can also be on the joystick or loader joystick. Wouldn’t work if other one was permanently in forward! Personally I hate them aswell as they can be flipping dangerous when you just automatically knock it back into neutral and let go of clutch……

If it's a vario it's kinda OK but anything with a gearbox or anything that moves at tickover is bloody dangerous when your not used to it.
