In Reply to: Clutch pedal height ? posted by schaffer44288 on February 16, 2019 at 22:56:13:
That is the normal height for any tractor Dexta, any Ford , possibly and Ferguson with a live PTO that you control operation with your foot by pushing peddel down halfway to stop tractor but not PTO to keep machine operating. Think a combine on pto operation, you want the machine to clean out when you stop, not with it setting full of grain so you have to start it up under load and then you can start it back up without being under load without you having to back up a couple of feet with machine stoped so you can have machine operating at full speed when it hits the crop. They were developed orignaly for machines like the combine, baler or corn picker as that clutch setup will let you stop tractror forward movement to let machine clean out a potential plug. Then some companys came out with the independant PTO, not to be confused with live PTO as a lot do because you have to operate 2 controls with those to do the job with just the foot pedal on like you have. On your setup if you have a rotary mower on and want to keep it running while you back into corners and the like thenthe halfway down is a very big help as the other option was when you pushed the clutch down everything stoped but that spinning mower would want to push the tractor into the fence, building or creek if you did not have an over run coupler in the PTO drive line. If you set the clutch peddel in lower position you will NOT have any PTO avaible and that position is for like working ground with a plow that has no need for a PTO. I had the independant PTO and wished it would have been the live with 2 stage clutch that you have. With what you have if you come up on a baby animal laying in grass you are mowing just ready to hit it and you janb the clutch all the way down everything will stop so as to not cut up that animal. Now the independant you have to not only hit that clutch pedal but also grab the pto lever to stop and doing that simultainious is hard to do. So if you are never going to us a mower on the tractor go ahead and put clutch in low positiom but if you will ever use a mower or like PTO operated machine KEEP that pedle in the high position so you are used to it and that you DO NOT when you have to stop with that PTO machine you DO NOT get your foot hooked under the pedal and cannot stop at all. If you are used to having to just lift your foot a low distance and when you have to lift it in a panic situation you are lible to forget you have to lift the foot that high and instead of making that panic stop you keep going into the creek or fence or your car.
