You are out plowing with your ole Super M TA and you hit some really hard clay. With a normal M you would have to shove in the clutch, cuss a little and shift down to second. With the TA you can pull back the lever, without clutching, get more power, and keep on going unitl you reach softer ground. It slows your ground speed and increases your power. I grew up with an MTA in 1967, wish I had it back. Traded it in for a 706 with the German diesel. Still have the 706

The TA is a 2-speed powershift transmission that allows the operator to downshift on the fly to a slightly lower gear if he runs out of power or needs to move at a slower speed due to crop or field conditions.

There are two types of TAs, the original mechanical TA, and a hydraulically-operated TA that is used on larger tractors.

If you ever get a tractor with a TA, remember: Don't run down a hill with the TA lever back, and don't pull the TA lever back while going downhill.

The TA does freewheel downhill on the older Farmalls, but this is not the case with the 06 and newer series of Internationals.

You pull the lever to engage the TA and it gives the tractor a lower gear without using the clutch to shift.
