Guess things are relative. After market stuff on cars, trucks, and tractors were useful and fun in the "old days". Back on the farm in the late 50"s and early 60"s the 9-Speed seemed to be really useful. We used it nearly every time we used the tractor or several times a day during working seasons. Of course you have to stop to put it in and out of "9-Speed" Once in you can start in second and easily shift up to get into fifth if you were going to the field, pulling loaded trailers, moving implements, etc. With the M souped up to around 50hp we pulled a 10" IH wheel disc in fourth for years. In high low you could harrow or a few light things. The speeds generally split the successive difference between fourth and fifth, i.e. high-low is faster than fourth and so on through fourth. It doesn"t change the speed of fifth.
