Just Bought a TC40DA

Mine is a 35DA (same tractor except engine) and I do not. I initially had some binding in both the FWD and range levers until I did the HST neutral adjustment. Now both levers move easily.

Murph, the class III hydrostatics don't have a clutch. What I've found with my tractor is that I can move forward while rotating the steering a little to get it to come out of 4wd easily. It's just that if I have the loader on, it's so darn easy to pop it down a relieve the pressure on the front wheels.

I guess on new tractors it's a little harder to shift IN-OUT, but it's really a non-issue on my tractor now. The only time I even think about it is when I see someone post here that they are having a tough time. Then I normally make a reply that suggests using the loader because that is a surefire way of relieving any pressure on the wound-up driveline.

Murph another option for the blue guys would be SensiTrak. If you have it drive line wrap up in the automatic mode would also be a non-issue.
