[QUOTE="chapmanmachinery, post: 6419990, member: 27236"] We don't advise anything similar to Wessex as a run-in period for our machines (which are all centrifugal clutch driven), but then we use using a bespoke clutch from a German manufacturer rather then the off-the-shelf unit that our competitors fit. Having said that the primary cause of centrifugal clutch failures will be not having enough power, as an engine which is too small for the task at hand will reduce in speed until the point that the clutch starts to slip due to the frictional forces being lower at lower engine rpm. Flails need a huge amount of power which is one of the reasons the smallest engine we fit is 21hp and we're looking at upgrading to fuel injection next year to ensure a constant engine output RPM is maintained.
