I have a 8050 power shift that the only thing it does is pull a New Holland round baler. 95 percent of the time I bale in 5th gear low range. My question is, is this hard on the transmission? Naturally tractor starts of in 4th then I shift to 5th and back down to 4th when bale starts tying. Having zero issues just looking for opinions from people who know more than me about the power shift. Thanks in advance for opinion. Scott

Starting in 4 lo is a piece of cake. Can't see how it could be hard on anything. Im not an expert as only 2yrs with an 8070 PS but I don't see an issue.

Probably thee most important thing on a PST is making sure the trans brake "feel" stop is adjusted perfectly. You simply CANNOT have that inching pedal try to apply the trans brake one little bit when you stop to tie/dump a bale. You will surely destroy the C2/reverse clutch pack. Always roll to a stop or use the wheel brakes to stop, not the trans brake.

What if you pulled the gear lever to neutral and used the wheel brakes to stop fast?

Yanking the PST lever to neutral each time will just wear out the shift lever parts on the valve. Even doing that the trans brake still works if things aren't adjusted correctly on the inching pedal.

The stopping I think I've got down pretty good. I start applying a little brake and let tractor ease to a stop. Not the sudden stop as with the trans brake. My main concert was the regular shifting between fourth and fifth each bale. Thanks for the input.

I know this is way out there, but I’ve always thought on the old WC‘s and round baler, one way you could make the WC stop would be if you could lift the right hand rear tire off the ground. I thought if you could build a mechanism with a tire and a 12 V electric motor to drive a pump and a hydraulic cylinder, you could force the tire onto the ground, lifting the right rear axle. That would allow a wheel to spin free and stopping for ward motion. Kind of like a CA’s hand clutch. Something to think about.
