I guess I"m more of the opposite opinion. I prefer the synchro for a chore tractor. Granted, I don"t have a lot of experience with both, but from my PS experience I think it would be a pain to constantly run the lever back and forth around that J pattern to shuttle between forward and reverse (and try to hit the same gears on each return shift). Whereas in a synchro you simply pull the lever back and forth to shuttle within a range, correct? Of course, your ratios are more limited with a synchro. And the "inching pedal" on a PS isn"t really anything like a clutch pedal. As I recall it doesn"t have any feel whatsoever. It"s just a plain hydraulic dump pedal like an on/off switch. I think it would be hard to do work in close quarters where you need to back up to exact points, etc. With a true clutch you can feather it to get to a precise spot. For instance, if you backing up to a wall with a blade or pulling up to a wall with a loader. Now for field work out in the wide open, I think you probably can"t beat a PS. Or do people with a PS just hit the dump pedal as they approach where they"re stopping and coast the last bit of the way? Then shift to reverse and let out the pedal (all the while running the throttle with the foot throttle)? Maybe that works best. I"m not sure. I"m curious to hear other"s impressions. I"ve been wondering about this myself.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
