There is a distinct possibility that you smoked the clutch. I will not mince words, I will just say it like it is (no offense) Pulling shrubs out should not be done with a tractor. It seems convienient, but it can be both dangerous, and very hard on the equipment. Slipping the clutch is a no no. Clutches are designed to allow slippage only to get things moving, they are a switch. If used to adjust speed, or pull gently, or feather something, they burn. The friction material is not capable of dissipating the tremendous forces that are caused by slipping the clutch. Heat builds up, and has no where to go but into the flywheel, friction disk, and pressure plate. Do not operate the tractor this way. Pull shrubs and small trees (3 inch max) by parking the tractor, blocking the wheels with timbers (8X8X30) behind the wheels, then using a good roller chain comealong to a A frame made of 2" pipe about a 3' triangle with a U shape welded to the top to keep a chain from slipping down the sides. The A frame allows pulling up and over on the stem of the shrub while reducing forces on the chains. Do not use straps or nylon rope, when they stretch and break, they kill operators. Some may reply that it is OK to jerk them out. It is not. the stresses are not predictable, and the tractor can come over backwards on you in 1/10 second. Believe me you have just proven the point by needing to replace the clutch. Sorry, and just education intended, no offense. JimN
