I own a 4000 Ford (3cyl gas) with SOS(select-o-speed).It is a powershift transmission(shift on the go). In my opinion they are a good transmission. They were developed by the same engineer who latewr developed the John Deere powershift. They have 10 forward speeds , 2 reverse. The earliest ones had some issues , and the first 6000"s also had alot of trans problems. These transmissions required more in the line of maintanance/ proper adjustment than the others of their time, so many failed due to abuse/poor maintanance and hard use. These facts combined to give them a sort of bad reputation with some folks and a tractor with a SOS will usually be worth less than a similar manual trans. tractor. If you find one in good shape they are a good unit when operated and cared for properly.
