Alot of GOOD comments about the power shift. And it is a good tranny and has it's place,just not very good at my place. Let me tell you my dislikes.

I use loaders on my tractors and do alot of short trips,small jobs,and running around getting on and off hooking up chains lifting things and moving them around. Snow removal too. NO field work. I do not like the power loss and drag of the power shift if you ran one long enough at one time to warm it up it should be fine.
The biggest DISLIKE is the park setup it does not work good on hills. Sometimes they won't latch in tight going one direction as the park pawl is tapered and the force pushes it out.You also have a very hard time getting them out of park too. The syncro range has a very good park as I think a collar locks the shafts up tight both ways and getting it out of park on a hill is a breeze as the linkage is spring loaded so you can put it in low 1st or rev and ease the pressure off the gears and the park will pop right out for you. So if you require getting on and off the tractor parked on slopes or hills get a syncro range.
