I'd say it depends on how heavily your livelihood depends on that tractor. If you need it to survive, don't take chances. Otherwise...
To be honest, for all the talk about cheap Chinese junk parts, I've yet to have a part fail on me unexpectedly... Whether it's for a car, truck, or tractor. I honestly can't think of ANY "junk" that I've been sorry about purchasing. Not denying other's can - but I personally haven't.
I'm sure it'll happen some day, but the bottom line is I've saved a LOT of money over the years on chinese "junk".
If I were a betting man, I'd bet your clutch is going to be just fine.
Don't get me wrong, I know the quality standards aren't the same, but.. A.) They're getting better overall, and B.) I don't know that it really matters in most cases, when you really get down to it. Even if that clutch were sub-par, you're only paying half the price for it, if it's in a tractor you're not using 8 hours a day, you'll probably never find out.
Obviously not a popular opinion, and some will take offense to it, but I gotta call it as I see it. Yeah, I'd MUCH rather see manufacturing come back to this country, but it's unrealistic to think americans should pay twice as much for american parts out of patriotism. There's a point where that gets foolish. And I'd say paying twice as much crosses that line.

Today's Featured Article - A Towny Goes Plowing - by Anthony West (UK). I live in an area renowned for its rural beauty. Small fields with hedgerows and trees are common place, as are small hamlets with village greens and the odd duck pond complete with swans. The center of any village once the shop is closed is the old tavern. Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
