Carlton 8018 TRX

[Oly's Stump]

Anyone have a problem with the cutter wheel turning when the clutch is dis-engaged. I noticed that after grinding a number of stumps, I dis-engage the clutch and then throttle up to trailer the machine and the cutter wheel begins to turn (not full speed). If you idle down the wheel will stop. I adjusted the activator and that didn't seem to help. It only does it after grinding when everthing is hot. Anyone else with this problem?

Had that happen on my 8018 and after adjusting the clutch free play it was ok,however, it did the same again twice more and I had no more adjustment so had to replace clutch. When stripped down found three high spots on the presssure plate. There was no sign of slippage so pressure plate must of warped ?
