The Tipper 1st gear seems to me to be a little on the "short" side.
Use the manual mode and start in 1st gear a few times. I think you will see that it seems to run out of revs in a hurry, and the shift into 2nd is abrupt.
It seems to me that driveability in most traffic situations is the reason it is programmed to start in 2nd gear in auto mode.
