I would start off in 1st gear the first time. Generally speaking on a tractor you start off in whatever gear your going to use. You don't shift up or down like in a car or truck. The gears in your transmission are not synchromesh and you will grind them if you try to shift when not completely stopped. It is possible to shif but it takes a lot of practice. You will most likely have to hold down the clutch for a few seconds before shifting the first time. Let the tractor warm up for a few minutes before driving and start out with the engine just above idle speed. Be sure to have plenty of clear space ahead or behind you depending on wich direction you will head. Keep kids and pets clear. Remember to hit the kill switch if anything goes wrong. I'd consider having a more experienced operator around if possible. Dave.
