They will still have them here. I use them all the time.

It's my considered opinion that the reason wet clutches were adopted earlier in Deere's and North Amercian tractors is the lack of foot throttle that would mean a dry clutch would get burnt out

 

You're going to have to explain your reasoning there as I'm not seeing how a foot pedal helps in starting or "creeping".

The lower the revs you inch at, the less wear on the clutch. I've had my own cars for 35 years, all have been manual, all have a dry clutch. The traffic around here is horrific. I've never warn a clutch out. You have way more control with a foot throttle. Never mind the noise and fuel use. I cannot see a single reason not have one, and using the hand throttle on a loader tractor sounds crazy. In my youth the farmer didn't like repairing machines, when the foot throttle cables broke, he never repaired them. Driving the tractors was a ball ache. The tractors I used when I was in the USA had no foot throttle, utterly pain full
