M8200 Clutch slipping?

[Musketeer]

New to the forum. I have a M8200 that appears the clutch is slipping. A few days ago the tractor quite moving and I thought the clutch was out. The hydraulic fluid was low so after adding hydraulic fluid the tractor started operating normal. I have used it probably 30 hours since adding the hydraulic fluid. Today it started slipping again. No noticeable indications of failed clutch such as burnt smell and still have pretty good clutch pedal travel. My question, should I be looking at the clutch or is there something else? Would the shuttle cause the slipping? Thanks

First thing is for you to tell us the complete model number of your tractor as there are 8 different M8200 versions.

I'll second what @whitetiger said, if you don't know the complete model number provide the serial number and we can tell you what it is.

Your tractor has a mechanical gear shuttle, so the slippage must be the dry clutch mounted to the flywheel
Do you have any free play at the clutch pedal?

There is some free play not excessive. I will proceed with replacing the clutch. Thanks for the information.

Is the fluid level ok. Adding fluid fixed it last time maybe you have a fluid leak?

The hydraulic oil level does not affect a dry clutch in any way.

in theory no but it seems to have solved the problem for the OP the first time around. must have been a coincidence.
