seven 202 #1 Posted August 28, 2015 I have a 68 electro 12 with no clutch on it currently. And wondering if I should go with the electric one or covert it over to manual .I heard the electric ones don't always work so good ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,147 #2 Posted August 28, 2015 My Electro 12 was converted to a manual at some point in the past. Manual works just fine is cheaper to buy and cheaper to fix... Also I do not like the sudden almost violent engagement of the electric PTO especially on something like a snowblower 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #3 Posted August 28, 2015 their is benefit to having both the manual is cheaper and it is easier to find the electric is convenient and does have a cool factor but is more expensive and a little harder to find. What will your electro 12 be used for? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #5 Posted August 28, 2015 I would go with what ever you can find the cheapest. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,276 #6 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I definitely prefer manual. Like Paul I hate the violent engagement. Tilling is one of the times I really liked the manual. Rather than lifting the tiller at the end of each run I would just disengage it and it would raise out of the ground and pull like a trailer as I turned around. It would have bugged me to operate an electric like that. Edited August 28, 2015 by Racinbob 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
