On our farm, by the time you did all of that, the tractor would have come to a complete halt (we have sandy ground with lots of loose sand--this was dairy country because you could only make a living by putting everything through a cow--10 bu. of oats per acre was considered a good harvest). Even on pavement we would lose most momentum towing a baler and 5 tons of hay. Maybe with just the tractor one could get this to work. We had 2 Farmall H, 1 Farmall M and a Farmall 460. Most of our farm was woods with wagon ruts going to scattered fields throughout the forest. Strictly 2-row farming due to narrow roads through the woods. Probably 120 of 360 acres was arable land and this was quite common of most farms in the area. 36 to 40 head of dairy cows was the norm yet when I graduated College in 1975.
Nice! You did it nice and quick while the tractor was still moving along at a good clip. Looks a lot like double clutching a big rig. When possible, I would usually shift into 5th while rolling down a small hill or grade to ease the shifting pain... and not wear the clutch. We got lots of hills here.
A lot of times, I was able to shift to road gear without clutching the second time. Especially if you're on the level or slightly downhill. Good video though. I used to shift Oliver tractors all day without touching a cog. Drove my neighbor nuts! Lol
Good work, but there is no need to fully depress the clutch while double clutching. You only need to depress the clutch enough to break torque from the motor.
You CAN simply push the clutch and move the lever from 4 to 5. But the transmission will grind like crazy until the input slows enough for the gears to slide into 5. (If you don't believe, me try it(!)) Incidentally repeated improper shifting from 4 to 5 is why many old Farmall's no longer stay in 5th gear without holding the lever in place - the gears are simply worn out from improper shifting.
Nice "trick", but totally unnecessary. Any Farmall M or H worth it's salt will take off from a dead stop in 5th gear, and without any trouble or slipping the clutch. I've pulled many a loaded hay wagon this way for many years.
Joe Dirt Works fine with rolling load behind as long as you're on a hard, level or slightly downhill surface (I use it with loaded wagons all the time). Won't work however on soft ground, in snow, or when starting out uphill....
We run large tobacco trailers with Hs and C113 tractors. Never have I had trouble pulling in the road gear from a Dead stop. If you're starting off on a hill you should climb in a lower gear until you reach a smaller incline. If someone attempts this going up hill and fails it could mean a loss of life. Trust me.
Man those things are speedy! Gonna have to get one as a daily driver!
I've never double clutched a Farmall tractor from 4th to 5th. I was raised on a Farmall H , M, and Super MTA. And currently own a Farmall M
Nice instructions (I can't believe you're wearing a John Deere shirt, though......)!
Thanks!

Thank you for the perfect instructional video
Nice smooth shift!
But I think it’s illegal to ware a John Deere t-shirt and operate a Farmall!! State law! lol 👍🏻
I was wearing an IH shirt with a John Deere hoodie. Do I need to seek medical treatment?
Oh the humanity!
Thanks , Same as the old grain truck.
Nice.
Very smooth.

impressive nice instructions
Hired hand did this with the H poorly and too much, now I have a parts rear end for it. D'oh!
Good job on the double clutch n , Works well on a '46 Chevy 1 1/2ton farm truck to :)
I’ve always wondered “is that how they’ve been doing that for 50 years, just grinding?”
I did this with my Super M ! Perfect ! 👍
Nice. Its easier said than done
Very Good. I'll try the double clutch. I've always shifted like you did but never double clutched.
Thanks this helped alot!!!!!!!
This is going to be painful to replicate 😂
Unless you've got a load or taking off uphill, you don't even need to shift from 4th to 5th. You can just start in 5th.
Say you are already moving and you are in 4th gear but would like to go into 5th without coming to a stop
I've always called that double clutching.
I do that with my 450 farmall works great
Good work, but there is no need to fully depress the clutch while double clutching. You only need to depress the clutch enough to break torque from the motor.
Im going to go try this on my h
The first time I shifted my dad's H from 4th to 5th I thought I was going to fly off the back of the seat those old girls could move
nice JD shirt ??. You could also call this double clutching as in a big rig
It's not much different than driving a truck, I roll through all 5 gears like that on my '51 M
That's a Massey Ferguson steering wheel!
I never knew that drive a h and m many years
Thanks , man. how is Spring '16 in Wisconsin?
And do you need to do all that like the video say from 3 to 4th
When you are shifting from 4 to 5 do you have to do all that stuff like the video said or can you just push on the clutch and shift it from 4 to 5
You CAN simply push the clutch and move the lever from 4 to 5. But the transmission will grind like crazy until the input slows enough for the gears to slide into 5. (If you don't believe, me try it(!))

Ok so could i just push in the clutch and wait untill the tractor kinda slows down and put it in 5th
Or just push in the clutch and put it in nuteral with out slowing down the rpm and then put it in 5th
@@farmallbob I've never had that happen to me. Sorry...

You ever try that with a load behind you? I doubt it.

Yes.
Bullshit
Uh.......good job I guess. Just a regular shift. Also none of these extra steps are necessary.
dude grinding the gears is part of the fun of it, especially to the song by George thouroughgood "gear jammer" song
Brian Linville I don't think it's that much fun
It's all fun & games until you have to take the deck off and replace a gear with broken teeth.
that brief moment you were on forth gear riding that clutch was hard to watch, my goodness
Does this work on a 1948 farmall c
Austin Moore Yup.....the technique works on ANY gear driven tractor with a foot clutch!
Thank you
you should be able to keep your throttle in one position while shifting
