Subject: JD 8450


45 miles southeast of KC
I am looking at a JD 8450 to replace a 4840. When test driving around the dealer lot the reverse gears seemed awfully fast. Not sure how you back to an implement without ramming it. Was this normal for those tractors? It almost seemed like I was in B1 instead of A1. Also, the single quad lever worked really hard and you had to release the clutch a little to get it in gear. The rest of the tractor seemed solid with 6500 hours. I searched the archives but didn't find any comments about the transmission in these older tractors. Any opinions?
