Slip Clutch

Mike	I have a 2000D and am going to run a 4 foot bushhog,is it necessary to run a slip clutch?? The largest diameter I will be cutting will be 1"
wayne	I suspect you mean an overrunning coupler, also called an overrunning clutch. A slip clutch is a different item, which has an actual clutch/friction disc, often as part of a pto shaft. Whether you need an OR coupler depends on how much you value your life, not the size material you're cutting. Same thing with a ROPS. Go to the ROPS page on our website LMTCompany.com and follow the two links about ROPS...read the articles, then decide. Every Yanmar we sell has an OR coupler on it.
Al	An overrunning PTO clutch is around $75 but you don't need one. Unless, say, a kid runs in front, you cut the power and hit the brakes, and would like the tractor to actually stop before the mower gets around to quit spinning.
norm	No, assuming you have the correct shear bolt.
Mike	I got my tractor back last weekend ( Had a ROPS) put on. And I am going to buy a overrunning PTO clutch today. Thanks for all the help...
