I'd suggest that the monkey who destroys a dry clutch in 100 hours will destroy the wet one in about 200. It is true that a wet clutch will outlast a dry plate most times under normal usem but I've got tractors around here with 7000+ hours and still strong on their original disc. Clutch life, from what I've observed over the years is 99% directly related to the operators habits, not the work that's being done. Sadly, bad habits are hard to break. That's why the rest of us have to suffer with wet clutches. Suffer is the word that comes to my mind when I think of a Deere Perma-clutch...
I'd also add that if you're looking at a tractor with the 8x8 transmission, make sure you keep the clutch properly adjsuted (wet or dry) and don't abuse that transmission by forcing the syncro's. They'll make you pay for it... BT/DT, got the T-shirt.
