thanks appreciate it.i have the bobcat version with 105 hours. I will check tomorrow when doing chores, but i do not recall hearing any sound or vibration difference with clutch in or out. And FWIW you only need clutch to start (safety) and use the rear pto. no need when shifting ranges.
Ok. Mine sounds like a vacuum cleaner, without any mechanical clatter, so I was unsure if that was the engine or not.thanks, that sounds like the engine noise, they are quite loud, when throttled up it will drown out the rear end noise.
