Tractor Throttle
The Tractor Throttle is used for light weight tractors and other similar heavy duty equipment. It is a clutch mechanism that keeps the tractor going and provides traction to move the machine around. It is basically a limit switch with a shaft on which the clutch engages and disengages the tractor. This helps in regulating the speed of the machine and prevents the machine from being driven in an accelerated manner.
There are two types of Throttle mechanisms in use; manual and automatic. Manual types are the most popular ones used in everyday vehicles. They are usually clutch-operated and are operated by a push button. An automatic Tractor Throttle makes use of a clutch and is controlled by a button. Automatic types are more popular in heavy industry applications and are often used for big machines like farm tractors.
While choosing a Tractor Throttle, there are some factors that need consideration. They include its size (i.e. its width), its height (to determine how the throttle is manually operated), and its purpose (to determine if it is being used for heavy-duty work or just plain maintenance). These factors will help you choose the right type of throttle that would fit your needs.
