IN addition to what Bird said, I used to have trouble shifting between ranges. Until I started shifting while moving, sometimes without even using the clutch.
Now this is not an aggressive act! What I do is move, then lift my foot off the directional pedal and while the tractor is slowing to a stop, move the range lever from mid to low range, or whatever. It usually goes easy, without a sound. In the event it does not go easy, I push the clutch in after starting to move slightly, and while still moving but almost stopped. IT will go into the chosen range then.
I used to have difficulty going between ranges, enough that I tended not to shift between ranges unless I really needed to.
Now it is simple and I change ranges whenever I want and don't even think twice about it.
I'm not sure, but I think that becaue I started changing ranges more frequently, it actually became easier to do it, after things wore in a little.
As it stands now, I bet 90 percent of my range changes are done without using the clutch. Never a grind or any sound that would tell me to push the clutch in...
Works for me... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
