I like the idea of your method.

But….the 7580 is doing more than 1 shift right? How? And somehow Amos starts in first, and never uses the clutch! I can’t imagine the pain put into gears over the course of learning that feel!

Tbone, you want to know something?  I just got the 7580 in July, have probably spent 4 times as much time unloading my demco 850 grain cart as I have actually driving it forwards or reverse.  i cut my teeth learning to shift manual transmissions, so to speak, driving old gas powered single axle trucks.  I have put some miles on highway semi trucks, but probably the most educational machine I ran, when it comes to stick shifting is  a timberjack log skidder with a two stroke detroit.  it taught me feel the gearshift, believe it or not it talks to you without grinding.  My 7580 has the floor shifter, and honestly I find it's feel way easier to get onto than the consol shift of the 305 or 8030.  The 7580 has to  be wound right up Like Doc says to make your shift, kinda sounds like a Detroit, to keep the boost there to keep her rolling.  I will try to grab some video of myself shifting the 7580

And don't get me wrong, the Doc's method I can guarantee, without even trying it will work, I just kind of do things different way, and my other tractors never pull much of a load down the road, just a corn planter for the 8030 and a cultivator on the 305, neither of which weigh 34 tonne like my loaded grain buggy

I get it Amos. And I think a floor shifter would be better. My 7045 protests loudly if you ain’t perfect. Then that writing, right there on the console, that says come to a complete stop!
