Multi speed

[tlavalette]

Why wasn't there ever a mutli speed hydro produced? Especially on the supers. I've had Masseys, JD with hilo hydro trans and currently have an AC620 with 3 ranges. Has anyone ever done one?

Thanks.

I don't recall ever hearing of one being built.

I had an AC620 for over 20 years, the three speed in the AC620 was nice to have especially for loader work. I sold it last fall. Mine had the rear PTO, three point lift, an Ark 600 loader, a 48" Cub Cadet rear tiller and a JD model 260, 60" rear finish mower. Nice tractors but they really needed power steering IMO. Mine still had the Onan in it and though it had tons of power when it ran right, it never would run right long enough and I got sick of repairing it. I put it up for sale at a low price just to move it fast. Probably priced it a bit too low. Here's a link to info about it
