I have an 8070 with powershift. While it’s not as nice as some of the newer units. It’s was a really nice transmission vs a 5488 or quad range, or even JD’s powershift. What are the weak points on these. Is there anything that’s hard on them like rod downshifts? I’d love to have another one, any issues on parts or are they all pretty well available?

One gripe I have is, 5th low range and 1st high range is a neat/good speed split, but so inconvenient....

This was probably the most dependable part of the tractor. We had dozen of power shifts, with thousands of hours, and only went into one, well technically two, but there was nothing wrong with the second one.

Rumor always was that John Deere was so interested in buying AC for their engineringing designs, Powershift trannys ,, then look at JD,s cab design in the 90,s !?

  I always heard that JD did buy the rights and designs as part of the KHD sell off of ALLIS assets.
