Well, this is mechanical vs hydraulic. Some engagement lag is normal.

Might be a good time to check the transmission fluid oil level.
That's a classic symptom of low fluid on automotive transmissions. I
don't think it would be all that strange for a Hurth transmission to
show the same kind of symptom.

Not to steal this line, but as long as we are on shifting, when I
shift into forward, my transmission does not always engage
immediately. I need to throttle up a bit then back off for it to
engage. My shift lever does meet the column brace. Is there an easy
way to adjust the transmission?

slip for the first outing of the season and all went well, except
for one minor(?) concern. The shift lever, mounted on my steering
pedastal, was extremely difficult to move. It took so much force to
shift between forward-neutral-reverse that I was afraid the plastic
handle would snap off. The transmission itself seemed perfectly
fine, and once I was able to move the lever, the gears engaged
properly. I went below and sprayed the linkage with a liberal dose
of WD-40, and that seemed to loosen things up noticably, but not yet
back to normal.

conventional way to keep the lever properly lubricated other than
slathering it with WD-40?
