shifting a H

Is this correct? What is the procedure if this is allowed?

thanks for the video - I'll go out and try it this weekend

On an H or M, I can usually do it 3-4th & 4-5th unless it is pulling a load.
I can't do it in the lower gears.

On my B I can from 3-4, but again lower gears not so much.

Occasionally, I can downshift, but conditions have to be right and I have to concentrate on it or it grinds.

However it is possible only under certain conditions: No load, and with the tractor rolling on a hard (low rolling resistance) surface. Key is to modulate engine RPM then double clutch to match transmission input shaft speed to the gear you are shifting IN to.

Here is a video demo of a 4 - 5 upshift on a Super M. Shifting your H is is done exactly the same.

In our hills doing road work with an H or Super H you had to downshift on about half the hills. Dad had to run the M with the 2M-E picker pulling both our wagons 20 miles including some pretty good hills but the M pulled most of them, only down shifted on 1 or 2.

Back about 35 years ago I could start out in 1st and shift up to 5th and downshift back to 1st without grinding a gear tooth. I can still do 4th to 5th and back to 4th, don't spend the hours per week on it anymore.

The two summers I hauled ready-mix with a twin-stick 5+4 in my White really helped my shifting.
