is there much difference between 1st gear high range and 3rd gear low range and where would an application show the difference ?
thanks.
 
First gear high is quite a bit higher than 3rd gear low. I don't know by how much but there are some things I can do in 3rd low that I can't do in 1st high.
 
1957 TO35 gas:
I plow in third low pulling 3-12"
My uncle could plow in first high pulling 2-14's with MF35.

So there many be some differences in hp and gearing of the different models.

Also difference in ground hardness that is being turned.

I have used a 5ft tiller with my tractor and it did a great job in the lower gears, second low.

The little TO35 is a fine little tractor for the jobs it was designed to do.
 
Good diff between the two. I'd have to go check the tractormeter to see the actual speed diff, but i think it's about 1-1.5mph..

Most of my tractor time is brush hogging with a 5ft hog. I run 1H if I'm just clipping off a pasture. 3L if it's a good foot. 2L if it's up to the hood. 1L if it's brush to the hood.
 
Here is a table I created a while ago showing the speeds of a few different tractors. I got these numbers mostly from the operators manuals.
