I was debating between Monster and Diamond for a long time and i finally decided to go Diamond. From the review i read on both I like it the best for me. Now these are economic friendly clutches. If you are wanting a bad bad then go to a twin disc Mcleod or something like that but you will pay.

Monster by far, give us a call and we'll take care of you. At 600hp and some sand you'll need something robust.
