Am I correct in saying that a Command wouldn't lend itself to a manual clutch? I've heard that the side thrust would be the problem. My old command had the manual cluth, its got 1000hrs on it or so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-85 749 #27 Posted March 23 I agree with all that's been posted. I have liked the manual clutch on my Black Hoods! I understand about the pros/cons of electric clutches, the reason I like the manual ones better has nothing to do with the clutches themselves, I have felt that the manual ones are so much kinder for the belts, no sudden jolt when engaging (if you don't slam the PTO lever down). It seems that the sudden torque and jolt of the electric clutches on the belt could cause it to wear more. that's my C-85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
