I'm confused, is that not an HST?

Many of the Kubota HST machines still had clutch pedals until some of the recent models. They used the dry clutch for engagement of the PTO instead of a hydraulic/electric clutch pack. Also usually a safety switch was activated by pushing in the clutch pedal for initial starting. It also sometimes makes range shifting a tad easier to push in the clutch to line up the gears to have the tractor move just a smidgen. But not entirely necessary to do that to change ranges. Many other brands of HST machines still have clutch pedals for the reasons given above, but many do not.

Kioti's come with working brake lights.:laughing: sorry couldn't resist!

Like the Auto industry, leave no stone unturned to save a penny.

I finally came up with a half decent idea for a hydraulic toplink holder. I used a 15" tarp strap, I may try to find a 12" but I think it is a odd size. The tarp strap works pretty good, the holes that are punched in it fit the oem toplink holder nicely.
