dumb question about HST

Another dumb question about HST:

How do you shift the range selector with no clutch?

Guessing that the answer is just stop and keep your feet off of the Go pedals?

yep, I put just the smallest amount of pressure on the shifter when almost stopped but not under a pulling load or when the engine is providing hold back.

The manuals for my Kubota HST tractors say to throttle back, take your foot off the treddle and come to a near stop before changing gear ranges. I find it's sometimes easier if the tractor is moving slightly.

Gear changes are a lot less frequent with the HST plus transmission, since you can shift on the fly.

I can shift on the fly with my gear drive too, up or down as the gears are synchronized.
