I recently bought this tractor with hydraulic bucket and loader and a back blade and I love it. However, I have questions about the shift pattern.
There are 6 shifter positions 3 on the top of the H, 3 on the bottom of the H. Reverse and 1st oppose each other and they are the 2 positions in the middle. 2nd and 3rd oppose each other and are to the right. I am stumped be the 2 opposing shift positions to the left of center. The tractor has a high and low range and that I know how to use. If anybody could give me info on the 2 gears on the left side of the shift pattern I'd appreciate it. My guess is that they are geared higher as the engine speed slows considerably as I let out the clutch when in these 2 gears. I just can't read the gear numbers very well. Thank you for any help you can provide.

A 44 does not have two shift ranges. The successor to the 44, the 444, does. The 44 has a five speed transmission, the other shifter gate should be 4 and 5. The overall ratios (including the master gears) are: 1st 82.4
2nd 59.1
3rd 47.3
4th 33.8
5th 16.9
Rev. 72.9

This is based on the 1350 rated engine RPM, 12 x 38 row crop tires (178" rolling circum.), and the rated speeds of 2.76, 3.85, 4.81, 6.74, 13.48 and 3.12 MPH for 1st through 5th & reverse gears. As the gear multiplication & torque is reduced with gear ratio, it makes sense that your tractor would load down. Kindly post your tractor's serial number (located on a plate riveted to the frame on the left side, or stamped into the top of the transmission case between the shift cover & the gear cover), and this will further identify the model. If it is a 44 RC, then the high/low range must be aftermarket. Is the PTO mounted high on the transmission case, if so it is a 44. If it is mounted low, with a three-point hitch, then it is a 444.

It may be that I have a 444. The previous owner called it a 44. I have only used it for 2 days and only in 1st & 2nd gear. I drove it around my field and it does seem to have hi low range. The pto is mounted lower and I do have a 3 point hitch. I am going up to use it next Tues. and Wed. Nov. 12-13. I will check further about the serial number. Thank you very much for the input, Mike
