Zetors used to be bad for jambing in 2 gears (maybe still are) but a 10 minty job taking the gearstick off the top of the gearbox and realigning the gear selectors and away you went till next timeYou could end up going back with the lever from high to go to reverse and you would hear the engine die as you began to release the clutch ,realising that it was in two gears
Reverse above 1st was a nightmare ,,now had it been above 3rd it would have been more user friendly ,,remember using a 252 with a loader,Anything by Leyland.
Yes, MF240, it made the screw driver a standard piece of kit.Anyone been in through the oil filler plug with a screw driver to release the the gear selector on 1,2 and 500 series fergies.
You have reminded me of my college days, two furrow reversible on an ih 574 . It was like a quadrant on the left with little stubby lever that you dropped behind a slot for each gear. Horrid thing.I hated our IH 674 gearbox with those silly levers in a toothed slot though, a right pain
What about the Ford selectamatic? Only drove one once and got completely confused as to what gear or range I was in!

Often wonder if you could buy them with another brand of engine as they just buy them in and a sale sale is a sale I guess they change there front axle as it was costing them salesThe claas cmatic in-house built vario is definitely the nearest to faultless I've driven.
They've obviously looked at all the others and built something that offers the simplicity of operation of a Deere, but with the programmability and versatility of a fendt. Mechanically it's very well designed and engineered too.
Shame about the engine in the 500's and 600's
