![]() ![]() You will find you can use that technique any where in touchy situations like lining up on a float. Pull left hand steering clutch, plant foot hard on left hand brake and ever so gently feather the master clutch thus applying a tad of drive to the RH track. for instance lining up to go through a gate and you need an inch of leftward movement.Īssume the machine is in low gear, engine at idle, master clutch disengaged. not so important at night but generally the tractor would have been idling in neutral to cool off and the clutch is left engaged.Ĭontrol on a stick shift can be exceedingly precise. The main thing with stick-shift is to always neutralize the gearbox and reengage the clutch if you need to get off and leave the tractor running.Īs mentioned it is no different to a truck clutch, you don't sit in traffic with your foot on the clutch. probably more than you think, maybe fifty pounds or so. There will be an adjustment specification in the manual and the required force to engage the clutch will probably be listed as pounds pull on the lever. This over centre snap is quite distinct and should not feel "doughy". that is to say a bit of judicious slippage to take up the load is okay but in general the clutch should be fully engaged.Īs you pull it back to the engaged position it should start to bite, take up the load and then go "over centre" with a distinct snap. ![]() Just imagine it is the clutch on your truck or ute. This probably seems like a basic question but I know you guys will have the right answer for me. With pushing up the trees I have pushed over I feel a bit vulnerable with it locked in if a branch were to come through the front at me I just can't release it without having to push it forward whereas if it was not locked in I would just have to let go of it and things would stop.Īlso when I park her up for the night does it matter in which position I leave it? When operating the dozer should I always endeavour to get it fully locked in the engaged position or is it OK to slow things down by having it partially engaged and slipping of the clutch or will this cause it to wear prematurely or is it designed to tolerate that sort of use. All the way forward it is disengaged and all the way back it clicks in to the lock position fully engaged. My question is on the use of the main clutch lever in my left hand.
