I have had clutch problems with my JD870, especially after hard use.
My remedy is to always back in to the parking place so that you can force the tractor in gear after starting the engine if the clutch is stuck. Once you have engaged the transmission, increase the speed and press clutch completely and slam on brakes. This will dislodge the clutch without a big shop bill.

The next remedy is to always tie the clutch down with a rope after use and it will never stick. (I use a piece of electrical nylon fish tape.)

Good luck!
