This is my first post on this forum so I hope it's in the right place. I have been searching for clarification on shifting and starting out while loaded with my 706d.
Now my tractor has a loader and gets used for basic chore work and snow removal most times but one thing that I have never felt 100% confident on is how I select gears while loaded down.
Currently I will just select the range and gear I feel I need for the speed I want to travel. But if I am wanting to travel faster say 3 or 4 hi, I feel it either slips the clutch or there is some mechanism allowing it to spool up if you will. And i may seem ignorant of its operation but i usually only operate it in low range 99% of the time so worrying about clutch slip has not been much of an issue.
Reason I am asking as I plan to disc/ till up about 2 acres I have for a future pasture as it is overgrown from the last time it was a usable pasture maybe 10+ year ago before I owned the property. I just want to start over with this section.
Any help on the proper shifting technique while running a disc or plow, and if I am hurting the clutch when starting out in a hi gear from a stop for decent road speed.
Also is a 4 bottom plow and 12 ft disc to optimistic for the 706d (d282)? Btw I'm in west central MN
Hope this wasn't to long winded. Thanks
