Throttle control is the key to clean shifts. People who drive trucks fitted with something like a 13 sp Roadranger don't even use the clutch on most shifts. That's going up or down. The shifts are made when the engine RPM is correct. It is all done by ear as it is a bother, and time consuming, to get a good reading on the tach. A Farmall driver needs three hands to operate the shifter, steering wheel, and throttle. I have put my shifting arm (left arm) through the steering wheel and worked the throttle with the other hand and arm. It works best when on level ground or, better yet, going down hill. These tractor motors don't slow down very quickly due to the heavy flywheels. Things get even more complicated when trying to split shift a TA equipped tractor. Although I am not a farmer, I think you will find most farmers will grind a pound here and there and not worry about it.
