Road gear for the vehicle trying to be started gives you the best mechanical advantage iregardless of tow vehicle. Thus we always used road gear for one trying to get stated.
This helped as we often had to use a lowly 1/2 ton pick up truck for tow vehicle so every mechanical advantage you could get was helpful when using an undersized tow vehicle. If had to use a tiny tractor for tow vehicle then fasterst gear it could handle the load.

While the Case was well worn, the Deere and International were not - they simply lacked good batterys.
