Electric PTO for blade engagement?

[Doug Wis]

   My TK 1600 has an electric clutch on a 27hp kohler. Was a real pain until I put a remote throttle on. Runs a twin belt. Try to engage at a lower rpm then throttle up. Belts squeal if engaged at higher rpm. Has stood up ok. My  first mill ,a Keenerbilt, had an over center hand clutch which worked real good, but then with that mill you walked with the head. That system wouldn't work with the TK as you don't walk with the head. Have 2 Gleaner combines. An F2 with over center hand clutch and an F3 with electric clutch. Both do the job, but much prefer the over center on the F2. Electric clutches work but they start everything instantly.
