Hello, I have a HSX 140 too. What year is your tractor? I notice yours doesn't have solid rims front or back.
I work on 150 hectares.
2017. I bought it used, and so far I’ve had a lot of problems with it — I’m not satisfied. At the moment, I find the clutch strange — it engages suddenly and with a shudder.
Have you tried calibrating your clutch lately? It usually makes a big difference on how they engage.
Yes, I tried calibrating it, but I didn’t notice any difference. During calibration, I also noticed that it asks for the 4th Hi gear, even though I have a 5-speed gearbox. Does it work like this on the others as well?

I have mine since 2017 too. I never use the clutch pedal, only for starting. I only use the buttons on the gearstick or the power shuttle lever.
I usually use those as well, but for me, the tractor starts off with a jerk and shakes. It can even stall if I don’t give it enough throttle. And that’s even when I’m using a low gear, like 2L or 1L (9km/h), for light tillage work.

Yes mine can do that too, when I wasn't used to it. You need to be in the right gear for the job your doing. Mine isn't jerky only when it's cold the first time you move it. I don't use the clutch pedal any time. If I'm stopping on the road at a crossroads or anything like that, I would never use my feet for clutching.
