Lasse: Don't think you are going to do a whole lot of shifting on the go with that transmission. I know there are guys will tell you it can be don't but they only get it right once in ten tries. I always found these big Farmalls would start away in number 8 low on TA with just about anything they will haul on a roadway, thus the only quick shift you need make can be done with TA. In the field and my tractor was a 1066, I've found myself putting tractor in 3rd or 4th and 16 hours later it had never been shifted. Yes go all day and never shift anything but forward-reverse and TA Now if your just wanting a road tractor, there are better tractors. The big Farmalls were designed for field work. Many of them never left the field until the job was done, be it 4 hours or a week. In the 1960s, 70s and 80s Farmall was noted for its torque, they didn't need sophisticated transmissions. The other guys all did as no one held a candle to IH on torque. It's kind of a shame, but public demand for smooth shifting tractors destroyed the very best field work tractor ever built. I will include all tractors right up to 2005, in that statment. I have driven a few of the new ones, and believe me, with out power shift they would be usless.
