1. Can inching pedal be used to stop tractor in 4th gear through 8th gear(10th) then apply breaks? OR Do you need to down shift to lower gear using selectospeed lever before engaging the inching pedal?

2. Can you start in a higher gear than 1st?,say 4th. OR must you start in 1st and upshift to a higher gear " on the fly".

3. Is there a best way (proper way) to operate the selectospeed when using a front end loader or snow plow and constantly going from a foward gear to reverse gear?

Bodie,
Apparently y'all didn't get your manuals yet, you're going to need them if you're goning to keep it running. The manual recommends starting 1 gear lower than you intend to operate. If you're going to do a job in 6th gear, they say to start in 5th and shift up. When you stop push the inching pedal in just like you would a clutch and when you put him in park, sit with the brakes on for a few seconds as it takes the SOS a couple of seconds to engage park. To park the transmission actually engages more than one gear (something like 1st and 6th, can't remember for sure which ones, but it does hold the tractor in place).

The shop manual is a good investment as well to help with those nagging little problems. Good luck.

For park both second and third bands are applied simultaneously. This creates a lockup condition and stops the output from turning. It is always a good idea to block the wheels on one if you are going to be using it as a stationary power source for pto-driven equipment like a log-splitter or generator or pump.

I was told that one slipped into reverse on a jobsite around here one time and backed over the sheeps foot roller it was hooked to. The dealer said when they got there the tractor was sitting on its rearend with the front wheels straight up in the air like a dog begging. Scared everybody there so much they sold the tractor immediately.

ALWAYS use safe equipment practices around any tractor, especially one with the SOS.
