Your lined clutch plate may be sprung, bent, or just simply not flat. The pressure plate only backs off from the lined plate a small distance, so if the lined plate is not flat and true, or the thickness varies from one point to another, part of the plate will remain in contact with the flywheel and pressure plate when it should be completely released. The clutch will then "drag", and shifting will be difficult. However, the clutch will perform under a load. At our shop, we have seen some really crappy rebuilt plates lately. I have made it a point to check the thickness of the plates at numerous points around the lined area with a micrometer, and then temporarily place the lined plate on the transmission input shaft, and spin it by hand to check for wobble. These may seem like extreme measures, but a little checking sure beats having a poorly functioning clutch, or having to split the tractor again. Reducing your pedal "free travel" to the minimum side of spec's may help some. Alternately, you may have a defective or improperly adjusted pressure plate.
