"What's the point of having TA if you run in TA and then have to stop to down shift in the tough spots"
I don't agree or disagree with the use of the TA all the time, as my dad never had one, and when I left home I didn't farm. I now have a 460, but with only 5 acres obviously it gets little use. Anyway in 1954-up when tractors were equipped with TA's my dad had an H that I probably put 5000 hours on as a teenager. We had a 3 disk semi mount "breaking" plow (HM 150) that the tractor handled well in 2nd. I often thought how much better the tractor would would work with a TA. 4th TA would probably work for that tractor which only occasionally would pull the plow in 3rd, as the speed in 4th TA is between 2nd and third. About all I use 460 for is with a bush hog. Depending on the height of the grass and weeds I usually use 4th TA. It keeps the engine from being overloaded in 3rd but since it is through the PTO it shouldn't damage the TA, as traction is not the problem. I didn't know you couldn't use the TA like that for tillage until I read it on this forum in the late 90's, much discussion, no real conclusions.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
