Read articles →An owner-operator video focused specifically on explaining the RK37's shuttle shift transmission while actually mowing a hay field. The bulk of the useful content is a hands-on walkthrough of the forward/neutral/reverse lever, the range selector (low/medium/high), and the four-speed shifter, resulting in 12 effective gears, with the owner explaining his real-world gear choices for mowing. Ends with a shear bolt failure on a stump. Best for anyone comparing shuttle shift to hydrostatic before buying.
Posted by the Maynard Family Homestead channel, an owner-operator sharing practical impressions from their own working property.
It has a forward/neutral/reverse lever by the steering wheel, a low/medium/high range lever, and a four-speed shifter knob, giving 12 total gear combinations.
He usually runs it in high one, which he figures is about ninth gear, saying it works great for most of his mowing.
He dislikes the noise and hard pedal matching of hydrostatic transmissions and says you lose horsepower, while shuttle shift lets you just put it in gear and drive.
