Electric clutches on PTO

Got a question about Electric clutches. I'm thinking of buying a new tractor with a loader for mowing and loader work but that could also run a baler if the farmall M was down. Seems like a lot of the newer hydrostatic drive tractors have electric clutches. On the ones I've used it seems they engage rather quickly. I am concerned that this would be a problem engaging the PTO when running a baler. I'm looking to get a hydro but if the tractors with the shuttle shift has a more traditional type clutch to engage the PTO I might go with a gear tranny. I would be baling about 12-15 acres. What advice can you guys give on this? Thanks, John S-B.

John - You certain the PTO clutch is electric? On several I'm familiar with (all Deere) the PTO toggle switch controls a solenoid valve that in turn engages what I presume is a hydraulically-actuated PTO clutch. When the switch is thrown the clutch brings the PTO RPM up gradually and smoothly - NOT like the electric blade clutch on your typical garden tractor!

What kind of tractor are you looking at??

My experience comes from using newer NH and JD's, around 25-30 Hp. I'm looking into JD, CaseIH, MF, Kubota, Mahindra, et al. Aroun 35-40 Hp. I'm just more familiar with using an M to bale with and I don't want to tear up a new tractor.
