Back in the '50's I was a young teenager and we had an H Farmall with which we pulled a 14T John Deere baler and a wagon. It handled it well but when in the hills and the load began to get big, we sometimes had to shift down to 2nd. That tractor was easy and you could shift it without ever being able to feel it on the wagon.
Then when back to the top of the hill the driver would shift back into third again, also without as much as a tick of the gears or being able to feel any jerk. The trick was to shift between strokes of the plunger on that old pto driven baler. I guess maybe it helped to have spent so much time on that tractor it felt like I was raised in that seat.
