        I was doing some heavy hitting today – pushing trees over, and suddenly the shuttle shift reversed direction ???  Pushing the lever forward now reverses the tractor, and pulling the lever back results in forward motion. 180 degrees to what it had been doing moments before.

        The shuttle lever has always been springy, and not always easy to select forward, but no big deal.

        Has anyone encountered this before, and is it a problem, or should I just continue, using the lever back to front?

        Thanks

        Mike

          CHeck the pivot point under the tractor it must have flipped over, I have not seen one do that but thats the only thing I can think that would cause that

            Unfortunately, trees have been known to push back sometimes.

            Not a good idea without ROPS/FOPS protection. Just sayin'…frown

              Rest assured I have ROPS protection.

                ROPS isn't quite the same as FOPS (Falling Object Protection Structure).

                This poor fellow may have thought the steel cab was good enough, where it was nothing more than a “sunshade”. He was 29 and a new father.

                To explain how things can go from bad to worse in a split second. The force  of the cab going back pushed the control levers backwards, exacerbating the force of the bucket and stick against the trunk.

                Just sayin' stay safe, know your machine and it's (and your) capabilities.

                Want to keep you around. wink

                  Thats a good one Mike??  What did you find. Seems like something would have bent with the linkage somehow??
