JetStar 3 Super clutch

I am in the process of putting my JetStar 3 Super back together and have a question about clutch type. The clutch disc that was in the tractor was a 4 pad/puck type. I want to replace it while the tractor is split so in looking at new clutch discs I see both a 4 pad type and a traditional full disc type available. Both say they are the same diameter. Is there and advantage of one over the other? Do they use the same pressure plate? This tractor has a loader on it as well if that makes a difference.

Thanks,
Ryan
 
We have done an average 50 clutch jobs at the shop for more than 25 years, a lot more in 2016. Our preference is the button disc. Last week we received a notice from our 1st choice clutch co. reafirming our choice(it stated to never use a woven disc on JD loader tractor because the woven disc has no asbestos in the materials anymore and will not stand up to the extra rigors of loader work). Also in all of those clutches installed at our shop we only have had 1 come up for replacement(driver rode the pedal causing premature wear). So in our opinion and experience, go with the button disc. Now, examine closely for ANY oil leakage, resurface flywheel, fresh disc, ppa , t/o bearing, t/o spring, and drive away. Dale
