Tractors are machines that designed to take care of almost all agriculture-related tasks.  PTOs and slip clutches aka safety clutch go hand in hand. What is this slip clutch, and how does it work? Do these slip clutches need to be maintain?

The slip clutch is a mechanism that protects the PTO and the implement gearbox. It helps to reduce the impact of extreme force experienced by a PTO and the implement. Slip clutches are simple to use and maintain.

With tractors, great power brings greater danger to the machinery and the equipment. A slip clutch helps in reducing the costs from damages due to this immense power.

PTO slip clutch is ideal for use in replacing the shear pin system on rotary cutters to a slip clutch. The slip clutch is a friction clutch that is made to slip when the torque is too great for the implement. The slip clutch attaches to the implement and if something is hit by the mower or tiller it slips to keep from damaging  the implement.  Always attach the slip clutch to the equipment side of the PTO shaft.
