Dave:

I can double clutch a Formula Ford racecar, lap after lap, but I cannot for the life of me double clutch a farm tractor.

So... In my opinion, there is no real good answer; both methods are flawed for me. Start in 4th all the time and I will eventually need to replace my clutch. Start in a lower gear and shift, and I will finally need to replace the gear from grinding.

I try to get a little tractor movement going in high, stab the clutch pedal to let the engine recover, let the clutch out again while still rolling, and get going a little faster, stab the clutch pedal again, gaining speed each time. It seems to work pretty well with minimum slippage and wear to the clutch and no wear to the gears from grinding.

It's probably the WORST way of getting it done, but I've never had to replace a clutch and never had to replace a gear. mike durhan
