I personally like keeping the transmission shafts turning a fast as possible for the desired ground speed selection for heavy tillage, and shock loads. higher speed = less torque for the same work.
Let the two speed and the rear make and take the torque, not the lighter gears of the front.
That being said 6th gear does use the A1 & A2, of which A1 clutch which has the fewest discs and plates of any in that trans, but that is because the torque is less at higher shaft speed (engine speed). On the other hand, 2nd uses C1 and B1, C1 being one of the clutches with the most plates and discs, B1, right behind it with only one less disc and plate.
6th will have the trans operating slightly more efficiently, as the front clutch pack is engaged directly to the input shaft rather than a planetary assembly adding heat.
