I will add and hopefully will try to do this respectfully. I do not know what you knowledge is if operating a vehicle or machine with a clutch and a standard transmission. Please do not operate it like I see many city folks operating their riding mowers, which is this way. Basically once they start the machine the throttle goes wide open and is left there until they shut off the machine. This is not what I consider proper operation of a machine with a clutch. When you select a gear the engine should be at idle or nearly. Then depending on the load you are trying to move the clutch should be engaged ..pedal moving slowly from the depressed position.. with the engine operating somewhere in the lower 1/3 of the rpm range. Then once the clutch is fully engaged or the pedal is in the up position the rpm is raised to meet the speed requirements for the task. Full clutch engagement should usually be completed within a three count time frame. Each time the direction or gear is changed the engine rpm should be lowered as stated above and the process repeated. There maybe occasional task that require a longer engagement time then the 3 count or slipping the clutch, but to prolong clutch life this should be kept to a minimum. A clutch that does not have the proper free play set can allow it to slip. Free play is usually described as some amount of movement of the pedal by hand before it hits the mechanical resistance to start the clutch release. Somewhere in the 1 inch to inch and a half range is a common amount for most tractors.
