The Wallenstein has a clutch engagement system that has 3 steel balls on a slanted plane. This is a cheap method of clutch engagement that has been tried by others. The problem that others have noticed with this system is that when the clutch pads wear down, the play between the clutch engagement halves increases. The balls can then fall between the clutch engagement halves and the clutch will not release so the winch stays in the pull mode until the tractor engine is killed or something else gives. A bad clutch adjustment can cause the same results.
