I like the idea of a hand clutch I’d like one on one of our 600’s or 650. We have a few JD’s with hand clutches and I see how each type has advantages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked a nice 830 so I think I will make a run at the 660 anyway. Should be a good pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray54 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Never having run a IH wheel tractor hand clutch is it backward to a crawler clutch like the JD is. It may have helped in that besides being the other side from a crawler the power come from pushing it rather than pulling it, so backwards on all accounts. I baled thousands of bales a year for 20 years with JD hand clutch and a engine driven baler. I could easy the pickup into wades of hay with a hand clutch very easily.

Lazy WP Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I have run quite a few Case tractors with hand clutches. My problem was that my DC was on the other side then the SC was. Then the D4 was on the left, but instead of pulling it to stop, you pushed it. I think I pulled both steering clutches more times to stop, then I used the main clutch to start with.
