Is it possible to put in a separate lever for the park brake on an 8000 series powershift? It's a pain to have to shift the range lever to neutral and the into park and then back again. Especially when stopping to open and close a gate before the cows get through. Obviously would still shift the range lever into neutral for stationary work.

It's a park LOCK, not a brake. And no, you can't have two levers. If you saw the way it was under the cab floor you would understand better. Maybe you need a couple of new cables to make shifting easier ??

I can't comprehend the trouble you think it is to "park" an 8000 PS. Two levers..clunk,clunk and you're there.
