Another 2020 question

Still looking at the 2020. Since I have no knowledge about mechanical things, I will ask here: when the clutch pedal is depressed, gears shift, and when you let the clutch back out, the gear engages only towards the very end of the clutch pedal travel (fully out). Does this signify anything regarding the clutch on this tractor? Needs adjustment or fixing to need to be replaced? Help appreciated. Down to $6250.00

2020's with mechnical p.t.o.'s have dual clutches that are operated by the clutch pedal. you shold be able to feel the second clutch disengagement when you depress the pedal slowly. decond clutch is p.t.o. and should not be used fot driving. check pedal travel for the first clutch only and see the engagement point at this shorter travel.

Second clutch. Another friend mentioned this to me but I am still not clear. As he put it, when you fully depress the clutch pedal, the PTO stops; when the clutch pedal is almost all the way released, the gear engages. Is this correct, and if so, what am I "feeling" for when I slowly depress the pedal?
To further confuse the issue, when the seller was showing me the tractor, he just reached down and engaged the PTO without depressing the clutch! I assume this IS NOT the way to do it? Thanks.

if you depress the clutch pedal slowly (and the systems are o.k.) you can feel the second stage:the force you apply becomes greater at this point. this is the point the transmission clutch is fully disengaged, and the point you use whenever you use the clutch for driving. by the way, if do not need the p.t.o. clutch,you can easily adjust the pedal so that only the transmission clutch is active and you have a mich shorter pedal travel. also the pedal must have a free trvel of about 1".

Paul, what David is referring to is commonly known as a "two-stage" clutch, driving an "independent" power take-off (PTO). Pushing the clutch in part of the way stops the forward motion of the tractor while allowing the PTO-driven implement to continue to operate. Pushing the clutch the rest of the way in stops the PTO.

If the engine is running, you should have to push in the clutch pedal to engage the PTO.

BTW, if you buy this tractor, get an operator's manual from Deere right away. It has a lot of information about operation and service of the tractor.

Thanks to all for the information. Much appreciated. Will let you know if I get it... just found about a "super-nice" 3020 being auctioned off this weekend, so off on another wild goose chase. At the same auction a JD 920 is being sold. What is the 920???

even tho i am not familiar with the 2020 it has been my experience that this problem is either the clutch disc is wore out or the pressure plate springs are weak.i dont know if the 2020 is like the 3020 but on the clutch arm of a 3020 there is a slot with a bolt thru it. this is where you adjust freeplay.if the bolt is close to the rear of the slot the disc is wore out. if it is toward the front of the slot the disc is in good shape
