The only way the clutch pedal will slow you down is if you're going uphill. If you're trying to downshift, the only difference between what you describe and doing it without the clutch is the clutch itself - when shifting one of these trucks, you either double clutch or you float (don't use the clutch).

As you're braking, you wait until the tach gets down to 1000 RPMs (if you plan on dropping just one gear) or 700 RPM (if you plan on dropping two gears). You push on the clutch (only enough to engage it - you don't go all the way down with it), and take the vehicle out of gear, then you release the clutch. Once you've done this, you bump the accelerator to 1500 RPMs, push in on the clutch again, go into the gear you want to downshift to, then release the clutch again.

How to Drive a Tractor?

you work on a farm or on similar land, it can drastically cut down on your workload if you know how to safely operate a tractor. If you don’t have a tractor, it might take you a full day just to mow a field or to transport hay bales. As such, getting a tractor and learning how to drive it can get cut down the grunt work, allowing you to have more time to enjoy the outside world.Make sure you have a tractor that is safe to operate, keeping a close eye on the tire pressure and the attached instruments. Like a regular vehicle, you will want to ensure the radiator, fuel and oil levels are well.Never wear loose clothing if you are going to operate a tractor, such as a scarf. You run the risk of getting your clothing caught in the machinery if you do, and this can have a devastating effect.Your tractor will probably come with a manual that you should read thoroughly before anything else. They will teach you what the different controls mean and how to read the different meters.Double check all of the attached machinery and ensure they are tightly secured to the tractor.Get onto the tractor and adjust everything to your comfort if it can be adjusted, such as the seat and some instruments. Make sure no objects or people are around the tractor for safety purposes.Take off the parking brake, depressing the clutch. When you are ready, start the engine and slowly release the clutch before pressing the gas pedal.Drive cautiously so that you avoid rollovers, and make sure you do not drive onto a slippery slope or into any steep embankments. Overall, drive slowly and drive carefully.When you’re done with the tractor, stop slowly and let it idle for a couple of minutes in order to let the engine cool evenly. Failing to do this can cause the engine to cool improperly, which will shorten its life by drastic levels.Disengage the clutch, engage the parking brake and shut off the engine.
