Default clutch

i tow a 28 foot gooseneck for farm work and hauling equipment and also like to race and pull and was wondering what double disk clutch is tough enough to play but gentle enough to still back a trailer around as well as drive daily? thanks for any feedback

its alot more difficult to back a trailer with a dual disk. either the clutch is in or out. theres no slippin it to back up under a trailer or backin a trailer up. i had a dual disk southbend... just gotta get used to it...

IMO
it is easier to back a trailer with my sbc dual disc, then it is to back one with a big single. duals are smother then a single with the same plate load.
