This defines the issue (at least for me and all my historic recollection).
Up a modest hill with a modest load stasrt in 4th let out the clutch as rapidly as possible with out stalling. (1/2 throttle or more) pull the throttle open to go as fast as it will go in 4th.
Push in the clutch and put it in fifth with modest grinding 3 to 4 teeth bumping and not much pressure.
Let out the clutch rapidly the engine won't stall.
The above does wear out fifth, but such a small amount that none of the 10 letter series tractors used that way for 50 years have had any fifth gear issues, and very few clutches.
Abusive crashing it into gear will cause the spline on 4-5 slider to wear.
On all other starts
use fourth to fifth, but as the clutch goes in the throttle goes down (same instant)and the gear lever goes to neutral. As the enging gets to near idle, let the clutch out while in neutral for the briefest moment possible, then push it in, pull it into fifth, and let the clutch out rapidly.
Fifth gear starts will heat check the fluwheel, burn the facings on the driven disk, and cost reliability and down time. The time it takes to learn to do it correctly pays off in both money and expertise/showmanship. It really looks cool to do the double clutch thing with people watching (it also keeps them from wanting to drive the tractor in fifth while novices, probably a good idea. Goo shifting, JimN
