Maybe I do not have as much surface area, but, my aluminum disc brake pads do not seem grabby at all,,,,

The ONLY difference I have noticed is I need to adjust them far less frequently.

I have only adjusted them twice in 2-3 years, normally on my blade dedicated tractor, the way I use it,
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.

I've never used them. it is a common budget tractor puller thing. there's a clown in MO. that sells them. I've taken 4 of them out of tractors where guys have had issues as I explained. for $30 or 35 bucks you can get a Kevlar disc and have something you can have softer engagement and better holding power and its cheaper than the stock cub cadet disc.

I get it, it is the fix at the moment.. it was very inventive.. "A" for effort in a pinch.. Weather or not it is a temp fix or not, aluminum or not. That pc was not made for what you are using it for,, your only askin for hurtin somewhere, tractor or person.. If you not pulling, don't do what they do. Plowing and pulling are the same idea, but nowhere near the same. There drive shafts are prob, a heck of a lot stronger than stock.. this is how it works well for them. I am by no means trying to come down on you.. One thing I have learned from this site is comedic mods are one thing, structural mods are something completely different. The guys on here are only looking out for the safety of you and your tractor.
