jinma 354 clutch life

I concur with all Rich said.

“The only time your foot should be on the clutch is when your hand is on the gearshift.”

I do agree with the above and will add the following, most of the Jinma tractors that were imported into the USA and assemblied here,did not have the clutchs adjusted correctly from the start,which can cause premature failure.We have assembled hundreds of Jinma Tractors and I would have to say less than 10 % of them had clutchs that were adujsted correctly from the factory. Most people did not know to adjust them because they seemed to work OK ( including us in the 1st year) After replacing several clutchs under warranty, we tried to figure out why. After we started adjusting them during assembly the we had no warranty replacement clutchs and had customers coming in with 800,900 hours with no clutch problems.

Make sure your mechanic knows how to adjust a two-stage clutch ! ,If we can help you with any parts let us know

I spoke to a mechanic who maintains a large fleet of small to midsize tractors used mostly for mowing. His SOP was replace the clutch at 1000 hours.  BG

As everyone above has mentioned most of the causes for premature clutch failure was due to not being adjusted correctly when the tractor was assembled. Lets hope you have some adjustment left, if not we have the complete clutch packs in stock.
