Kirk - The M and W-6 are geared differently to account for the different rear tire diameters. However travel speeds are close to the same – so driving/shifting either tractor is the same. --- You can smoothly shift either tractor from 4 – 5 like this: 1 – Start on a hard surface; level or slightly downhill. (The tractor must be able to coast for several seconds without slowing down too much...) 2 – Get the tractor going at max RPM in 4th gear. 3 – Simultaneously step on the clutch and close the throttle. 4 – While the engine RPMs coast down, move the shift lever to neutral. 5 – The instant the engine hits idle RPM, in quick succession release the clutch, step on it again and move the shift lever to 5th. If you do this right the lever will drop right into 5th without a hint of gear clash... 6 – Finally release the clutch, open the throttle and enjoy the ride! It takes a few minutes of practice to figure out. But once mastered it it works great!
