TA's were options on all tractors that had them available, but far more had them than not. A properly working TA will shift on the fly smoothly from direct into TA (and back) without any noise, etc. In TA you shouldn't hear extra gear noise or release bearing growl. The TA will shift into low when the clutch is depressed to aid in shifting, but engage just prior to main clutch to prolong TA clutch life & prevent "2-staging". This is an external adjustment. All mechanical TA's (as in the 560) will freewheel forward while in TA, and you cant bar the motor over backwards in direct drive with a sound TA unit. Hope this helps.
