I agree with the posts below, the gap 4-5 is substantial, however in most situations 4th will provide all the speed a light operation can handle. The rotary hoe might be the only exception, and it is not used much anymore. Our SH and H would pull a rotary hoe in road gear, but it was a bit of a jump to fifth from fourth under load. We tried to do most of our 10 to 28 acre fields with one start, and one stop. A lower gear than standard is the gear missing from all letter tractors including those with TA. I say this because the needs of farmers to go slow while finish or bush hog mowing, and during live plant manual operations in truck patch systems, and the rotary hoe requirements were not met. The low speed first with its special countershaft and driven gear was still a bit too fast, and rare in a "discovered for sale" tractor. Good question, JimN
