I've done a lot of plowing with my John Deere GW pulling a 3-14 John Deere model 55 plow with the "knee knocker" clutch disengaging device here in rocky Michigan soils and never got my knee hit by it. You adjust the clutch lever linkage so the lever doesn't come back so far and set a little sideways in the seat......which I always did anyway to help in keeping an eye on my plowing job. Many, many, times the clutch disengaged but the lever never got me..... Years ago I plowed with a McCormick-Deering W-6 pulling a John Deere 55 3-16 plow with a similar device to disengage the tractor clutch when hitting a substantial obstruction. This worked fine too except when it was dry, then the clutch would get partially disengaged a lot on the plow hitting small stones but not reach the latch point and jerk you around some when the plow got past the stones.....sure kept me awake.......most of the time.....that and a straight pipe on the tractor.
