Beats the last tractor I split. 18 hours on it. L3901DT with a loader and back ho. Destroyed clutch and boy did it EVER stink. I mean it was so bad that I had to put both halves of the tractor outside while I was waiting on parts to arrive. It would take your breath away and later on make you puke. Ate up the flywheel and all. Yeah the owner was PO'd about it but they don't cover clutch wear unless some kind of defect is proven to have caused it (very very rare). 2700 hours is well beyond the useful life and you've done extremely well!
what a lot of folks don't understand when I had to do clutches on "low hour" tractors was that 100% of them had a loader on a gear drive. Owner gets mad cause it ain't warranty (99% of the time) and they start complaining saying well there's gotta be something wrong I drive 18 wheelers for a living so I know how to drive a manual. Yes so do I but even on my little turd tractor, I find myself driving it into a pile of gravel/dirt/sand/whatever with my left foot on the clutch pedal, slipping it while going into and lifting. Generates heat and wear. Some guys just ride the slippage and wonder why the clutch is ate up, like the 18 hour example above. Then they all say well my god it's only got 18 hours on it and I ain't even used the loader....yet....you go look at the loader, the bucket has a halfhearted attempt at a welded cutting edge (boogers all over the place), and was spray painted with some junk TSC "kubota orange" paint that is not the correct color...I mean come on people we weren't born yesterday.
But yeah that's awesome, 2700 hours out of a clutch. The way it should be. Hate that you gotta do it this time of year but if there's any silver lining, at least its an easy tractor to work on. And hey if the in-laws are coming for Christmas, it might give you an excuse to get out of their hair for a while
