I don't know that their shifting patterns caused anymore problems than the shifting patterns of John Deere's new generation tractors. I say this because the JD 4020 seems to be the standard other tractors are compared to. I remember being stuck on curve on a county artery on a JD 2010 with the darn linkage hung up between gears and not moving wondering if me, the tractor and the hay wagon would shortly be upside down in the ditch after we get hit by a car or truck. That being said the 706-806-1206 all had similar shifting patterns and linkages, these tractors are 40 years old or older and have experienced some wear. If you don't adjust, lubricate and maintain the shifting linkage it's going to give you some troubles, if this is a problem get an older or simpler tractor with a convectional gear shift OR a newer tractor that hasn't had the elements of time and wear hoisted upon it. But even of you go old & simple you'll see a lot of posts on here about tractor that won't shift because the end of the gear shift or shifting forks have worn to the point they don't push the gears where they need to be to work.
