| I am adding an AC 8050 2wd to my operation, found a really clean one so decided to get it. Have never operated a powershift tractor before so any tips and how to’s would be greatly appreciated. Everything we have had has been just old school manual transmissions. |

Read the sticker on the gear shift console. This will tell you how to use the clutch and save the trans.... Always use the brakes to stop, not the clutch...

| Why would anyone use a stop on a clutch to actually stop a tractors momentum!? |
