Coming from a geared tractor (L2250) with a two-way clutch (drive and pto), I'm clueless what good a clutch is on a HST-equipped tractor (2010 Grand L4240 with HST+).
1. Have to use for starting, but that seems a safety-only thing, not an operational requirement due to design
2. I use it to shift into a different speed range (H-M-L) but not sure if that's necessary.
3. Seem some recent posts about using it to engage the PTO but unless I'm mistaken it has nothing to do with the PTO activation, since that's all hydraulic/computerized.
Help me out here. How do you HST drivers use your clutch?
