Do you need a clutch on a Kubota HST?
Kubota has eliminated the clutch pedal on HST tractors that have electric-over-hydraulics PTO engagement. This would include the standard B series and the MX series. The standard L series still has a manual PTO and thus requires a clutch. That said, I can assure you that the clutch is not needed to change HST ranges.

Why is the clutch depressed on a hydrostatic transmission?
