    Posted: 06 May 2010 at 7:17pm
I'm curious about was whether or not you could use the traction release lever when pulling a rotobaler or an All Crop Harvestor. Can the lever be pulled while you're moving, giving you continuous PTO, or will that tear up the disconnect? This would keep you from having to clutch and shift every time you released a bale, if it works the way I hope it does.

I'm considering making an offer on a WC that's sitting in a fencerow. It would be quite a project. I was wondering how the traction release coupling worked on the WC... searched the website archives and never found anything about it. I know it disconnects the rear end so that it isn't driven anymore, allowing you to use the cultivator lift and I assume the PTO too. Any info is appreciated... forgive my ignorance, I've never used a WC before.

I'd like to know more about the same thing as well, having gotten a WC now...  Which reminds me, I have to go order a manual....

You may be able to disengage it if there was no load on it. You would have to stop and push the clutch in and wait a second or to to engage it. If you want a good set up for a WC you need to find an aftermarket hand clutch that was available that went behind the tranny.

Thank you very much for the info. Dad has a WD so that's ideal for a rotobaler, but I was just wondering about the WC for down the road (when I've got my own place after college).

I guess it might be a tad easier than shifting the transmission in and out of gear?

I've always wondered how the traction release worked and now I know! Thanks.
