The solution is deceptively simple. I'll bet if you push that clutch in and hold it for a minute then try shifting, the gears won't grind. If you have a belt pulley or a power take off that is engaged you can actually see the motion come to a stop. That's because you are breaking the link and allowing the momentum of the transmission to slow to a stop.
What's going on there during your typical shifting attempts is that when in neutral the clutch no longer fully disengaged. There isn't enough contact by any stretch to move the tractor but there is more than enough to get the main shaft in the transmission spinning while it is not engaged to any gears. As it spins thusly and you try and engage a gear you're going to create all sorts of noise and grinding as you force the thing to lose it's built up momentum and stop spinning by the friction your gears create while grinding away until they stop moving enough for the teeth to mesh and engage. It's definitely not good for your gears but assuming you have clutch adjustment, easily addressed. Simply adjust it so that it gives the effect of more clutch resistance and thus travel earlier on as you push in on the pedal. It would be too confusing for me to try and call this "in" or "out".
