Tractor Clutch Questions

We have had a Deere 2755 for about 5 years now. Its been a great tractor. But the clutch feels different from others Ive drove. It feels like the rearend is real tight. Its kinda jerky feelin. And you can hear the rear end kinda pop when u let out on the clutch. Seems to get more jerky feelin after its warmed up and been working alot. Clutch seems strong though. I pull a 4000lb trailer with 10 rolls of hay up hills on the roadway and its never slipped. Maybe im just picky!
 
Loose rear drive components can make that noise. Wheel to axle, and lugs from wheel to rim.
Other internal components are also suspect, but less accessible. Looking and tightening every fastener would be my first step. Jim
 
I've got a 2755, too. the clutch got "jerky" when it warmed up. Finally got to where it wouldn't disengage. Had to do a clutch job on it last year after hay season. The throw-out bearing was worn out on the part where the lever comes in from the side and pushes on it. Finally went to pieces. Had 5000 hrs. on the meter and is a '86 model. But I don't feel any popping in the rear-end on it. Might be something completly different......
 
We do a lot of loader work with our 2755 and lets just say the opperators are not usually Dad or myself. We have done the clutch twice in the last 8 years.
I believe we used the organic clutch material this last time - well maybe it was ceramic, can't remember(someone here can correct me), but it was the more grabby and of the two. It has held up much better than the first job.
The only part I got from Deere this time was the ring gear (not clutch related but as the tractor was split it was time to go). I took the clutch plates to a clutch specialist place. They did all the rebuilding and resurfacing etc. Throw out and piolet were off the shelf and much cheaper than the first time when we got it from JD.
This is grabby and jerky but solid. Keep the clutch set up accordingly - off hand an inch of petal play. Easy to set up with the treaded likage.

Maybe its just the type of clutch you have too. Our 6300 is much smoother, but it is also a shuttle so the clutch isn't used as much.

Now if I could just keep the batteries and starter from dieing. This tractor must start 15-20 times a day and run for 3 min at a time. Not enough to keep it charged and hard on the starter (and ring gear over the years).
 
I would jack up the back end and try turning one wheel at a time and then both together, might feel something abnormal, also drain out a little transmission oil and take a careful look at it.
