Seeing as top end in 1'st gear is about 5 MPH, you want to be stopped when you
shift into it anyways. This gear is mainly for pulling stumps, climbing steep
hills, starting a very heavy load, and chugging along at idle on a back road
with a bird hunter sitting on the hood (I know that's illegal). Second gear is
about equal to first on a 3 speed.
Sometimes at a dead stop, going into this gear the teeth hang up on each other
and you have to let the cutch out just a little to spin the drive gears a
little. Trick is to be subtle about it and not grind off a pound of teeth.
