Automatic Transmission Needs Help (?)

[Brood Garrison]

Is it me, or does the automatic transmission in the tractors (several) have a hard time trying to figure out what gear to be in? It happens constantly whether equipment is attached or not, and creates a stuttering takeoff. Really frustrating.

Kind of and kind of not. Like the vehicles that say they are manual, but you have automatic selected in the settings, so it shifts for you (you can still up or downshift yourself or change gear ranges) it will be sometimes wonky, just because of the weight of things, how much power they are using, it's trying to keep the vehicle in it's power band. I think it's doing a pretty good job all things considering.

Not really, if it's truggling goin' uphill it should lower gear to keep traction, not upping and choking.
Automatic gears on manual vehicles it's simply badly implemented.
Actual automatic vehicles run pretty well instead.
