Q: Why is this to be installed on the implement and not the tractor PTO? I have it installed this way (on the PTO output). Is it for safety reasons or am I going to damage my tractor?

7 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: The reason clutches like this one are not to be put onto the tractor end is because the springs and hardware on them are considered catch points. A catch point is something that could grab onto other things and pull them in. The note is a warning given for this safety reason and needs to be followed.

Q: So the rating is 68 HP. Would this protect a 55 HP tractor using a 6 ft rotary cutter?

7 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Please see the manufacturer's response below: The 560-6006 is set slip at a torque of 7966 in-lbs which is 68 HP at 540 rpms. The clutch rating is purposely set a little higher than the normal operating requirements of the implement it is on. This is so that the implement can use the full amount of power it needs but when something comes into the drive shaft system from either the tractor or the implement the clutch will slip to reduce that torque. What the torque setting on the clutch needs to be is dependent on what is required to run the implement and what would protect the weakest member of the implement that is in the drive train system. We have not done any testing on what other spring heights for this clutch will produce what torques. The 7966 in-lbs setting is based on the most common OEM usage items for this clutch. If your customer is seeing the clutch slipping too often then they can tighten the springs a little to help stop the excess slipping. For adjusting the springs it is recommended to turn each bolt ½ of a turn and retry the machine. It is important to do this change on every spring of the clutch. If the clutch is not slipping they can loosen the springs by doing the same ½ turn and checking how it is working.

Works as is should

I bought this slip clutch because I was mowing a very rough field and I kept breaking shear bolts every time I hit a high spot, like once every 5 minutes. I put the slip clutch between the tractor and the brush hog and when I hit a high spot, the clutch slips, the shear bolt doesn't break, and I can keep right on mowing.

    $300 throw away item ?

    The friction discs eventually wear out. Tractor Supply does not carry the replacement discs for this clutch so you have to contact the manufacturer, locate one of their distributers, and have them order them for you. The replacement discs are expensive and the process is time consuming. The discs available online from online retailers are not the same exact inside diameter dimension for this. Tractor Supply should stock the replacement discs. I guess the figure that people will just buy another one which is what I had to do to finish mowing my pastures. I couldn't wait weeks for the discs. Also, the manufacturer's manual on the TS website is for a different clutch with no springs. The clutch needs to be adjusted periodically. The manual is completely useless for the product.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Does what it's supposed to. But 3 bills for a $80 clutch is foolish. Good luck finding the replacement friction disks.

    Good quality. No more sheared bolts,

    2 years ago
    I sheared 4 grade 5 bolts running my PTO stump grinder. I purchased this clutch, and it slips like it should. The only issue is the bolts loosened in the first 20 minutes of use causing me to have to make some adjustments early on. I believe it was set too low when i purchased it. I do not believe it should cost 300 dollars though.

    Yes, I recommend this product.
