the brakes would need adjusted every three times I take it out......

Have you personally used one?? Is the clutch being grabby due to the high pressure of the clutch spring?

A brake works similar to a clutch.... but not in application. Engines spin waaaayyyy faster than a wheel. Anytime you get two materials that hard on a clutch they grab. Even a ceramic or kevlar clutch is touchier than a woven fiber disk. For smooth engagement, they need to slip. No slip= "grabby". Like Don said, hard on drivelines.
