Cub power

[Anonymous]

Well I got to jump in on this one too! I've never shifted my Cub with out using the clutch butt I will have to say I do it with my Farmall H. Someone once said it was common for oldtime farmers to do it. The first time I did it I was skeemish about the idea butt now its second nature. I do believe that when someone gets real intune with his machine one can become somewhat more exotic in how they operate it. LOL LOL

Now Jim, I purposefully didn't mention anyones' name.
I had great fun watching some of the experts operate the cubs at cubarama and learned a lot also. After the first person speed shifted to a higher gear, most every one following did the same. I think I remember that everyone who downshifted did come to a stop before trying that.
You have to have the right feel for the equipment to do it right. One time I pulled out of our fire station with our old pumper and because I was trying to drive and talk on the radio at the same time, I completely missed 2nd gear and it jammed. The only way I could get back in rhythm was to come to a complete stop and start over. Got some funny looks, but got her going again !

Well, maybe not.

I'll let someone else explain how I shifted into reverse too.

But hey, it wasn't my tractor.
