How to Drive & Operate a Tractor : How to Shift Gears on a Tractor

[LanceCorpralDavidS]

You can start off in high in 4 but the tracter shudders and you have to keep it from dying so this video is pointless

[thequietrebel420]

as said this is retarded.. i can shift my farmall M's and H's... ON THE MOVE, and NEVER grind a gear... expert village my ass..

[Stickman1177]

HAHA thats hardly a tractor! A real tractor does have syncronised gears( all the way back to the 70s?) we have a john deere 1640 relatively small tractor and it´s from 84 and guess what you can shift all you want on the move!!

[DirectTech]

Crazycowcat - you're probably just jealous because his tractors probably BIGGER than yours.. Tractor envy !!!

[crazycowcat]

this video is retarded. dose he think he knows everything about all tractors or what. because all the tractors i have driven exept mabey a ford 2600 could be shifted on the go and i driven many diferent kubota, john deer, mf, ford, hesten, new hollond, landini. and there is to many different ways to controll the pto. most of the tractors i have worked with have a two stage clutch, and many new hollond and includeing hesten have pto speed controls seaprate than the cluch enagement

[shananagans5]

@crazycowcat And he is supposed to explain all this in 2:45 ?

[GFVagent007]

Most tractors have enough torque to start in any gear from a standstill, but you can shift the stick just fine while moving without damage if you fully understand and are good at shifting a non-syncronized gearbox. You need to know ground speed/rpm ratios for each gear and double clutching downshifts. Practice in a manual car first, since if you get it wrong, the syncros will match it...it'll pop right into gear with little effort when you get it right, and quietly if it's a non-syncronized.

[ConbonJD]

Of course you can change gears on the go. You just need to know how.

Besides most new tractors are syncronised now

[WatchRyder]

@ConbonJD

Yeah otherwise how would they be able to go the roads etc.

Just double-declutch and find the right revs.

[everysubjectman]

I don't know about a "reguar" yanmar, but i have a john deere 950 (which was built by yanmar for john deere) and i can shift the "main" gear lever on the go. It grings a bit, but if you double clutch/rev match it hardly grinds or sometimes not at all. Going up is way better than going down... Now, i cant shift the range lever, the 4 wheel drive or the pto on the go tho, but i can still shift gears to some extent

[dickw14]

so if you are in high range and a low gear because you're in crowded area and then want to got to a high gear for transport when you are clear, can you shift on the move by blipping the throttle and shifting up?

[everysubjectman]

@dickw14 Usually you cant shift the range lever on the go. depends on the tractor...

[countryboy071]

i shift on the go with my oliver 1655 and they dont grind, well mines american thats foreign so maybe thats why

[quattro4kss]

My old Yanmar diesel tractor is exactly like this one, and if i try to shift on the move it grinds...

[MasseyFergusonFord]

he is not an expert. he needs to learn how to drive a REAL tractor

[wiliamheadwoods]

@MasseyFergusonFord yeah lets see him explain on a case or a john deere 6800 or somthing carting 14 tone of grain we will see whos expert then lol

[peterbaalkilde]

does he know anything??? i drive a john deere old non syncro tractor and i can easy shift gears while moving with or without the clouch i can turn the pto on while moving also so hes a little dump...

[dueltruck700]

strange...my neighbor has a tractor and he shifts on the fly all the time....he just drops it in high and goes from 1st up...easy my neighbor has a IH 684 model....in case anyone wonders LOL

[gutchie121]

Wow, thats a pathetic excuse for a tractor, also the retarded "expert" in the video, should know that YOU DON'T SHIFT ANY OF THE GEARS WHEN THE CLUTCH IS NOT DIPPED, AND WHEN TRACTOR IS NOT RUNNING AND STATIONARY ! GRRRRRRRR!!!

[rthom86]

just double clutch it to shift on the fly.

[misanko2007]

i this guy retarted?? dont he know u shoulndt shilt when it aint running what a dumb ass

[deadleader1]

why is that?

[UndercoverUploader]

what do you care its not your tractor

[firefighterc931]

every tractore is very different you cant show a person how to operate a yanmar tractor and then expect them to know how i have a 1610yanmar and a farmall h and there is nothing alike on them you need to tell people than you have to learn evry tractor differntly or your gonna screw up the tractor

[RickyRun561]

your right... i got a JD 6603

[Conway11906]

most modern tractors have syncromesh

[deadleader1]

what is syncromesh??

[Conway11906]

its when the gears are syncronized 2 change on the move

[Chester8666]

you do change gear in big tractors? in small ones such as that one and in my kubota L245 but with the steyr 952 and the 2.5 metre wide massey, the idea is to change gear when changing. is that not correct?

[oj0707]

nice
