Tractor Driving Tutorial - How to Drive John Deere SyncShuttle & PowrReverser Transmissions

In this video we demonstrate how to operate two popular transmissions tyles on John Deere Tractors, the 9F/3R SyncShuttle and the 12F/12R PowrReverser. These transmission names are specific to John Deere, but this demonstration would be helpful for any nonhydrostatic utility tractor in other brands such as Kubota, Mahindra, etc.

Excellent video and great job describing the differences. Thank you

[@Corkoth55]

that is really interesting. I've been borrowing my neighbor's Kubota for yard projects and he said he opted for the hydrostatic, and i figured "what were the other options??" well now i know! Seems like there's a learning curve but anyone could do it. Definitely glad for the hydrostatic on smaller properties doing simple loader work. Thank you for this video, straight to the point.

[@intox69]

Power reverser is super slick I like that.

[@slnelms]

Thank you for this video this is perfect instructions

[@Dylan-zn7np]

Brent is my favorite. I watch all of your videos. I am planning on buying a commercial front end mower.

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you for that and what brand are you looking into?

[@Dylan-zn7np]

@@WesternEquipment John Deere. If their is anything other then green on my farm I don't think my ancestors would be happy. 100 years of Green

[@leetipton6176]

I agree with this gentleman. The power reverser has a learning curve for sure. But after you use it enough to get in the habit of using it properly it is better.for one thing the clutch pedal is an electronic switch controlling hydraulics. Easy to push. That will spoil you. I really didn’t need the power reverser but I bought it for resale purposes. It’s what most people want.

[@btripodina70]

Thank you for the video! I just picked up a 5067e with 12/12 PowrReverser. Do you have to completely stop to shift from forward to reverse?

[@victoriasarver6292]

I love you vids that help me

[@WesternEquipment]

I am glad they are helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@AnthonyContreras-rd7wl]

Best tutorial 💯

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you!

[@McNeelyMegan]

Unreal. Just about to start a new job and was so nervous. By far BEST instruction I've ever seen. Took about 2 minutes before I subscribed! Thank you!

[@butter1134]

I have a 5067e I have to use the clutch even with the power reverser, unless I set the seat weight 50lbs under my weight and sit with my knees to my chest

[@winkdinkerson7190]

Brett - is John Deere releasing a completely redesigned 3 Series E and R for 2025? Please advise… Thanks.

[@TheCrazyracer1984]

Any idea why my power reverser sometimes goes to nuetral instead of changing direction?

[@ChrisCipares]

It's also good to note that the PowrReverser is a wet clutch.

[@cesarrios6815]

Does the throttle have to be all the way up if you're on the travel range?

[@KS-cu1zc]

Brian you didn't show how to change different ranges on go when traveling need to shift gears for higher or lower speed

[@brett1567able]

my power reverser doesn't work anymore w/ out pushing the clutch in??? tractor still under warranty

[@Polack-ml9fh]

Hey, I’m in the market for a new tractor. What happens with the PTO speed when shifting a power reverser from forward to reverse? Does the PTO stay running?

[@jkboyett2]

Yes, I have a 5065E, and the PTO stays running in forward, reverse, and neutral.

[@mikeadler434]

👍👍

[@WesternEquipment]

👍👍

[@PilotLifeNet]

I would recommend that except for the condition of accelerating from a standstill or travelling gear change, to always have your foot covering the brake anytime the clutch is being engaged or disengaged. Specifically, when starting or stopping motor, going in and out of park or gear changes when stopped.

[@bartys009]

When I have the drive on and I want to stop, do I have to press the clutch?

[@WesternEquipment]

Yes, if you do not put it in neutral first.

[@jimmyfreeze3782]

I am nit picking, but at the 10:00 mark you raised the throttle before engaging the powereverser which put needless wear on the clutch and saved zero time. Engage the powereverser at idle, then raise the throttle...takes the same amount of time with the least clutch wear. Granted there are situations where you need to engage motion with above idle rpm, but 99% of the time you don't.

[@Hereford1020]

In my 5075e when shifting the power shuttle into reverse the speed increases 2 tenths why is that

[@Dylan-zn7np]

I don't really know I had that issue with my Sync Shuttle transmission on my 3020

[@WesternEquipment]

That’s a good question. I’ll have to check into that.

[@Dylan-zn7np]

By the way SyncShuttle built better

[@WesternEquipment]

What makes you say so?

[@Dylan-zn7np]

@@WesternEquipment I had an experience when I bought a 5060E and I didn't really like the PowrReverser because the unit that is on the steering column would always interfere with my movement to switch my turn signals on. I use the road a lot. I got pulled over by our county sheriff, fortunately he let me go and told me to get a SyncShuttle instead. My dealer was very understanding about it and helped me through the process to get it switched over. They had my tractor out within the week. I am going to buy from them every time I get new equipment.

[@jimwood860]

@@Dylan-zn7np So because you can't work around a lever and ensure your hazards are on while traveling on a road, that makes the syncshuttle built better? Strong argument there pal...

[@jasonbrown2060]

I’m guessing for an 8-9 shift on the 5045, you just hit the clutch and slam er from 2-3 in the c range

[@jasonbrown2060]

Should have showed how to go all the way up to road gear, Paco.
