Kubota L3010 HST Clutch

[wlhedges]

Clutch went out on my L3010 HST, A parts man told me the only thing the clutch operates is the PTO, My question is if that is true why doesn't the tractor go forward or reverse.

The clutch is still transfers power from the motor to the transmission, however, the only time you really need to engage the clutch, is when shifting the PTO into gear

There's a thread somewhere here discussing the same subject. I've got an L3010 HST. You need to have the clutch for switching ranges (L-M-H), PTO, and 4 wheel drive selector.

As long as the hst pedal is in neutral, you do not need to use the clutch for ranges or 4wd

The dry clutch disk definitely controls the HST. It starts and stops the 2 pumps inside the HST that send power to the drive system. With no clutch, there's no HST function. Some L3010's were built with optional independent pto with its own separate hydraulic clutch pack. take care, Dick B

Shadow, per my L3010 HST manual the clutch MUST be used for range and 4 wheel drive selection.
