Kioti DK45S Hydro

JayC · Sep 13, 2005

Is that the clutch next to the pedals? Does it ever feel a bit cramped with the three pedals on the one side? It just looks like the left hydro pedal is a bit close to the clutch. I thought I heard that the 15 series Mahindras had dual-pedals, wasn't sure though. Thanks for posting the pic! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Unless I got it mixed up again /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Deere, Case, New Holland, Montana, and Farmtrac all have the clutch on the left side with the brakes.

I got used to the single pedal pretty quick, I move my foot back, using my heel to go in reverse. I'm guessing a dual pedal would be just as easy to get the hang of.

This is a 10 series and it does not have a clutch.
The pedal you see is a parking brake and a safty start pedal.

safty start pedal 
What is that?

You have to push the pedal to start the tractor.
You have to lock the pedal befor getting off the tractor or it shuts off.

Is it just a safety switch? What is it hooked up to?

That would be disconnected pretty quick!! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yep, you're right. I'm always getting the Mahindra model numbers mixed up. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

You have to lock that safety pedal but not the brakes? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

How is it locked? Does it automatically lock if you push it down far enough?

I have a DK45 shuttle shift. I am OK with the clutch now but can see that as I get older my knee may have a tough time with that clutch. Until then, I can handle the shuttle shift with no problem.

It is also a parking brake.
It has a lever that you push to lock after you push the pedal.
