Seems like most said the pulled tractor should be in High Gear. I disagree with that. Because when the engine wants to start it's under too much of a load and will probably die right away because the pulling tractor is pulling it slow. Almost like starting from a dead stop in road gear. The higher the gear the pulled tractor is in, makes it easier for the wheels to turn over the dead engine but makes the engine under too much of a load when it starts. I hope this makes sense. It's due to gear ratio and which is the driving force, wheels or engine.
When I have to pull our IHC H we usually put it in 3rd gear. It turns the engine over faster and starts quicker especially if it's flooded. Also helps the generator put out while being pulled. Sure it makes it a little harder to pull but I've seen too many put it in high gear and it's killed soon as it starts.
To justify my theory. Push start a small truck with a manual transmission in different gears and see which one works best. When using high gear the operator has to be quick with pushing in the clutch if it starts to keep from killing it.
Pulled tractor should be in the gear relative to the speed it is being pulled.
