Overloaded clean grain auger

Got the sieve changed out, did some other jobs, then made a test run this evening. After a few adjustments, I had the corn out of the tailings auger and in the clean grain auger where it belongs. Got just about to the end of the field when I heard the slip clutch on the clean grain auger. Ran it to the house and spread out a tarp on the ground, opened the auger door, & started filling buckets. Got it cleaned out and put combine in the shed. Now, could my corn really be that good, or is there another reason why I overloaded the clean grain auger? I was in 1st gear and the hydro was between 1/2 & 3/4. Speedo not working or I'd tell you how fast it was going. Not sure what's going on.
 
Didn't take time to check it, but shouldn't be very wet. The sample I cut Thursday evening and tested was 16.25 w/o temp correction. I've ran 17.5-18.5 through the E3 before w/o slipping that clutch. I'll see how tight it is. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll just need tightening...
