hand clutch(liquid coupler)

Shawnba67 · Dec 29, 2022

So i have an old d15 that ive been repairing and using around my farm. i normally only use first or second gear. The other day i
put it in 4th for giggles and pulled the hand clutch back it was for lack of a better term slipping a bit as tractor got moving. So
my actual question is is the hand clutch designed to slip a little when needed or am i damaging it or have a faulty set up? in
first and second it just kind of does a little wheely and goes

Try the same thing using HIGH side on the hand clutch. If you get the same result, I doubt that it's the hand clutch. It's probably the foot clutch. Is there any free-play in the foot clutch pedal ??

If it does a wheelie then your letting the clutch out way to fast and could be damaging it

Assuming the clutch oil level is OK, you will not damage the hand clutch by slipping it. It will make for smoother starts by letting it slip. I see no reference in your post to the foot clutch and yet, both posters below only addressed the foot clutch. The foot clutch is a dry clutch and should not be intentionally slipped. The hand clutch is a wet clutch and it's perfectly OK to slip it.

He said it seemed to slip when he started the tractor moving in 4th gear, low in the power director (hand clutch). Dr Allis's point was to try it in high of the power director to see if the engine clutch was what is actually slipping, not the power director. Just trying to confirm the actual cause of slipping.
