Stepping up from this, a hydrostatic transmission will give you a handful of ranges while using engine revs to regulate speed. While many people swear by their hydrostatic tranny, it&#8217;s worth keeping in mind they do tend to use a lot of power and are more suited to lower horsepower applications (think lower hp tractors and ride-on lawnmowers). The next step up is the synchromesh, which allows you to change gears while moving.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about the shuttle options on the Aussie market, we spoke to Mark Harris, co-owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctctractors.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coast to Country Tractors<\/a>, about Mahindra&#8217;s synchro shuttle which, despite the fancy dance-move-sounding name, has nothing to do with this kind of shuttling:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18690 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12090342\/synchro-shuttle.gif\" alt=\"synchro shuttle?\" width=\"499\" height=\"405\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And everything to do with this kind:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18785 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12112011\/synchro-shuttle-tractor.png\" alt=\"synchro shuttle tractor\" width=\"684\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12112011\/synchro-shuttle-tractor.png 684w, https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12112011\/synchro-shuttle-tractor-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/magmedia.machines4u.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/12112011\/synchro-shuttle-tractor-500x211.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to Mark, Mahindra&#8217;s range of tractors go from 24 to 100 hp. The shuttle systems give you a lever which allows you to switch from forward to reverse while maintaining the same speed. Incredibly useful for front end loader work.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The latest is a 60 hp models with a 15 x 15 synchro shuttle. Available in 2WD or 4WD with two spool valves standard.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mahindra&#8217;s synchro shuttle transmission provides smooth shifting in every gear.
