I am somewhat familiar with both. Have driven powershifts and we own a 3020 with synchro range.

The powershift allows clutchless gear and direction changes. Deere's Synchro range had four nonsynchronized ranges with a "hi low reverse" synchronized gearset connected to that.

IMHO the powershift has some opernational problems especially for loader work. 1. to go from foward to reverse and vice versa you need to go through all lower gears and back up to the desired gear in the other direction the synchro has the logical working speeds in a straight line. 2. Can't remember which gears but the powershift has a couple of gears where you are trying to shift a bunch of clutchpacks at the same time and it really sucks the power (on a 3020 you will kill the engine unless it is wound up)
