Might depend on gears and transmissions. On 8 speed 4000 and 5000 always shifted in gear, for get exact gear as been many a year but with a load like a wagon would start out in low range and then shift to high range that was 6th (that is where i cannot remember the primary gear that just moved the hi-lo range lever to get to sixth and then when you got going good go from 6th to 8th. That was an easy shift, from 7th to 8th is harder but it can be done, reason it is harder is it is not a direct pull from one gear to the next but had to either go in a u shap or a z shape that took more to get the lever aligned. You normally would only shift like that on the road and not do any on go shifting in field but just starting in gear you are wanting to use. Down shifting on the go from 8 to 7 is what is hard but can be done but to go lower about have to stop. With a load it would be impossible to start in high gear that is 4-H or 8th. Hauled wagons many a mile like that, retired now tho.
