Power Shift procedure 2705?

Couple questions, just a brand new used 2705, no owners manual yet but ordered and not a lot of good info. from the previous owner. Hooked to round baler yesterday, shifting with power shift seems pretty rough unless you depress clutch all the way. A couple times I was able to tap the clutch just right while shifting and it was smooth like I do on my 2-105.
The guy I bought the tractor from told me not to depress the clutch all the way because I would wear out the flywheel brake? I asked well how do I know if I am riding the clutch or not, he said if it stops moving then you are good? - didn't make any sense to me, on my 2-105 and my 1105 I just push in the clutch, is there anything different I need to do on the 2705 to maintain long clutch life?
I think I will keep this machine on the round baler for the most part because of the ease of shifting, definitely less fatigue at the end of the day. Cab does not have the visibility to the rear but I do like the room and shade offered by the large flat top roof.
 
He is right there is a brake on the back of the clutch that activates when peddle is depressed all the way down (I find it strange to hear of one that still is working order, LOL). Seems they made the brake so it was quicker to shift than like your 1105 that the gears a free wheeling when clutch is depressed. Go easy on the power shift, and keep a routine on changing the hydraulic filters and the power shift will last well. Getting gauges and testing to psi on the power shift is not a bad idea. I figured the next 2705 I get will have the power shift and then I am going to hard line the gauges in the cab!

On another note there is a brake for the pto also on those, idle the motor down before disengaging the pto or it will take out the pto brake then the pto will want to continuously go!
