Kid: I mastered the art of double shifting on trucks many years ago. I also farmed some years putting close to 75,000 hours on 300, 560D, 504, 656D and 1066. If you figure how to sucessfully double clutch those Farmalls, will you kindly advise me how it is done. Double clutching is done by depressing clutch and moving transmission to neutral, while in neutral you adjust your engine rpm and quickly drop clutch out, so as to bring in put and out put shafts of transmission to same speed. It will then go in gear without grinding. With the truck you have momentum to carry you through this. The tractors don't have that. Now I will give you a little advise. Of the Farmalls I listed on my farm, each and every one of them would start away with loads to be hauled on road in road gear. All you need do is start away on low side of TA and when you get some speed shift up on TA. It is a good idea to throttle back as you shift TA up in high gear, it reduces the jolt. On the field work side of the tractor use, I always stop to shift gears, which is almost never. You see, a Farmall with TA has the torque to work an implement all day and never shift anything but TA or foreward to reverse. People have always growled about Farmalls being hard to shift, and being the last to go syncramesh or power shift. Those were the people that didn't realize, Farmall had way more torque than any other tractor. Your dad is right you don't need to grind gears. Just realize how little you need to shift gears, and you will find little time is wasted stopping to shift.
