 Clutch action
Was using the tractor yesterday and noticed the clutch not seeming to be acting normal. Normally the clutch seems normal enough to not raise any concern. Yesterday it seems like clutch wasn't engaging until almost completely released. After some use and tractor getting warmed up, clutch action seems closer to normal.
Trying to think why the clutch appeared to not be acting normal. Weather is cool, about 40°, tractor is stored in a machine shed. Tractor has PowerShift and the design uses an independent clutch for each gear. These clutches are controlled hydraulically within the trans. Was the main clutch really slipping? Why the apparent change after some use and tractor getting warmed up? Could it be due to the cold the trans hyd wasn't working normally?
Any ideas? Mark, what say Ye? |
