I am thinking of buying a 1370 case. The tractor has been taken care of and is reasonably priced. the problem is i'm not use to the powershift. When shifting into high, do you start out in low and then shift once you are under-way, without using the clutch? or do you clutch when you shift?
I know this might sound stupid, but I just cant get the hang of the case powershift, and yet ive been on different tractos for 40 years.

Clutch tractor to shift range selector into Range 1, 2, 3 or 4. Let out clutch. Once your moving, use your power shift to move between the 3 gears within that range. Thats as far as you can go. You have to stop (cluth) to shift up into the next range for the next set of gears if you want more speed. For road speed, you shouldn't have to start out in 3rd range, then shift to fourth range after your moving. Number one power shift in 4th range should be slow enough to get you going because of the torque the Case engines have at slow idle. The speed difference between these gears will be far more than the lower gear ranges allowing you to start out under heavy load and still end up at warp speed. For this reason its best to do your shifting before you open up the throttle too far as it will give you quite a jerk at full throttle. In road gear, for any tractor, slow down the tractor with the throttle first, then power shift down. It's much easier on the transmission.

Actually you CAN"T use the clutch pedal when shifting the powershift because it will always downshift to 1 when the pedal is depressed. Just start ouit with the clutch as normal in the 1st powershift and bump up once underway. powershift back to fist whenever stopping. if possible. You can just hit the clutch anytime to stop but if your in third I think it's a little confusing to the transmission to downshift and sop that quick.

Just a bit more of advise old mechanics of the range power shift told me,always start the tractor with clutch out,easier on the powershift,when coming to a stop,always manually shift down the powershift if you can.Ok,I got it all out!!

I am guessing you wanting to know how to get into "Road" gear?
Put in forth gear with the powershift in 1st as you gain speed bump the powershift into 2 and then 3. NO clutch between powershifts. I like to throttle back just a bit so it's not so jerky on the powershift. If it gets hard pull'in(on the road or in the field) just bump the powershift down into the next lower gear then back up when you get your momentum back.

I own a 1070 Case, and I like the powershift. You clutch when engaging the appropiate "range'. Then you work through the three powershipt gears w/out clutching. There is no reverse in the 4th range. That would be way too fast anyway.
