Was out looking at newer tractors the other day and saw something I'm not familiar with. Was looking at a TC33D/DX33 style hydro tractor with 3 range hydrostat setup. Two things stood out:
1) It had a clutch pedal on a hydo? Can someone explain when this is supposed to be used? Standing still the tractor appeared to slide into any of the 3 ranges without using the clutch?
2) It had a rocker style foot pedal instead of two separate foot pedals. I understand how it works, but have always used a two pedal design - any opinions on this setup? At first used it seemed awkward to go into reverse by rocking onto my heel?
Sorry that it's a new question in an old forum, but thought someone in here might have a CNH compact on the farm. Thanks.
