My grandpa actually has a 3010 just like yours I get to run it some times not to often but nice transmission I think also. Which tractor is the one with the quad range in it? The guys I help have an old 4230 with a quad range transmission and that thing jumps the whole tractor really bad when in road range. Does it in every gear actually when shifting from the low to high side. I was just wondering if they all did that or that is something wrong with the one we have.
@northsaskguy78782 жыл бұрын
Are you talking about when you shift from D3 to D4? My 8440 and 4230 both jump doing that too. My uncles said his 4430 quad also shifts hard into road gear. I give it a bit of clutch so it doesn't do it, especially when I'm pulling a load. It's just a little too violent a shift for my liking.

Yes when you shift from d3 to d4. I have figured out that if the window is open on the side I can kind of sit in the frame a little bit and it is not to bad. Ours jumps in c3 and c4 some to but not as bad as in d range. It is a 1973 model though I think. Starts super hard in the summer. Won’t fire under 40 degrees without ether it is one that was made before they changed compression so they start easier
