There is the normal "Farmall crunch" or grind if you try to shift without waiting long enough for the shaft to stop spinning after disengaging the clutch, that's just the nature of the beaset. But if you can't get it into gear after five seconds of holding the pedal down, then, yes, you have something going on.
If the clutch releases enough to let you stop and shift it should also release after being engaged in neutral. I don't think your problem is the clutch but it wouldn't hurt to check your freeplay. By way of verifying, once the freeplay is set according to pedal travel, you should be able to peek in thorugh the hole in the left side of the bell and see about 1/4" between the face of the throwout bearing and the clutch fingers.
I'm more suspicious of your pilot bushing.
On the times you stop the tractor with the clutch engaged and can then shift, if you stopped with the transmission still engaged in a gear, that would stop the shaft as well, enabling you to shift to another gear. In that case the pilot bushing would be spinning around the end of the shaft as it should.
If you let it run in neutral with the clutch engaged, the shaft gets spinning at the same rate as the pilot bushing. If the pilot bushing is sticky from being dirty, there is enough angular momentum on the input gears at the back end of the shaft that the extra input from the sticky bushing could be enough to keep them turning. That could be the case even if the sticky bushing isn't enough to start the shaft up on it's own, either starting up up with the clutched released and the gearbox in neutral at the beginning of the day, or after releasing the clutch and stopping with the gears still engaged,which would be consistent with what you're experiencing.
