1. Drive it in what ever gear gets you the power you need a the speed you want/can go. You can throttle down as long as you don't lug the engine. If you are wide open you can probably be in a higher gear with less throttle. If your engine is lugging, then you need more throttle or a lower gear. Your highest gear is the "road" gear and wide open is the top speed. Also, the slower the engine the better economy you will get, so going in 4th gear at 1/4 throttle will use less gas than 1st gear wide open.
2. Your gear is down hill is related to the load and the safe operating speed. First gear with no throttle will give you the most engine breaking. If you need more then the brakes need to be well adjusted
3. See part 1. If you are lugging the engine at full throttle, you are in too high of a gear going up hill. The actual gear on the hill will again depend on your load and the steepness of the hill.
A few other points: A good engine will have more power and be able to use a higher gear Some trial and error with your particular machine will be needed to figure out the ideal settings A copy of the original owner/operator manual will also give you some data on safe operating ranges.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
