Jason Thanks for sharing I thought about your previous Video as I was about to start tilling last week Thanks for sharing your knowledge Great video Have a great week Phil
Great explanation and video! Why would someone use this slipper clutch vs a sheer pin? Like in snow blowers? Is it just a manufacturing choice or is it because the forces would constantly sheer pins?
Both do the same thing, but a clutch is much more expensive. But on things like tilling, you might break a bunch in just one area, so it is more convenient to use a clutch
A slip clutch removes the need to keep replacing shear pins on equipment that tends to eat them. You can buy a slip clutch and install it on pretty much any PTO implement. The slip clutch is expensive, shear pins are cheap, but lots of maintenance needed for a slip clutch VS a shear pin. Although, not difficult, its time consuming pulling a slip clutch apart when its seized up, then having to readjust everything.
What might be a good rust preventative for a slip clutch? Or would it just be best to just back off the tension and let 'er spin once a year or two, depending on how it's stored? I am just getting my King Kutter tiller mounted up. Cut the PTO shaft today. I guess I better do this too as it looks like it's been sitting outside for a while.
Slip it once a year is the best. Any lubricant or rust prevention will change the friction and could cause the slip clutch to overheat due to excessive slipping during normal operation.
Check the owner manual for this tiller. On large farm equipment, the manual should give a measurement of how compressed the spring should be for proper tension on the clutch.

And for sure slip it when new.

Great point.
how many disc's go into the clutch
Mine has no clutch. It is metal to metal. Not intended to slim unless it hits something.
