I'm not saying they are EXACTYLY the same. The point is, technology is taking over and has been for a while. I wouldn't be shocked if all the cable/lever stuff is gone in the near future. Whats left in the CUTs? 2wheel/4wheel drive and A,B and C range.
Does anyone remember when you had to manually shift your 4x4 from 2wheel to 4wheel? When you had to hand crank the windows up? Now everything is push button. I remember these same arguments back in the day.
If JD didn't make these changes everyone would be sitting around saying "get with the times" Instead they are out front leading, where they should be. :thumbup1gif:
Well, That's why I started this thread, because I know nothing about electrohydraulic scv's.
I remember well vehicles before electric everything. Easy to service myself. New cars and trucks are electric everything and they are great when they work, and super expensive when they quit working. Plus, try getting parts to repair that electric seat and mirrors from 20 years ago.... NLA is a pretty common response. Tractors last longer than cars. I can only hope that way down the line those parts will still be available.
Besides, there is nothing wrong with manually shifting from 2 to 4 wheel drive. Jeez, remember when you could get a standard transmission? Pretty soon they will be fazed out because computer controlled transmisions are more fuel efficient. To heck with cost and reliability.
