Clutch slipping?

I have a 2n with a Sherman transmission. It has a strong motor that has just been rebuilt, so it has plenty of power. Today I plowed some with a 2 bottom plow. I had the Sherman set to normal range (not hi or low, just the normal speeds.) There were some times when the plow would get bogged down a little too deep. Under a heavy load, the tractor would just simply stop moving neither and wheel would spin. (From having an 8N for years, normally in this situation the engine would pull a little harder. Then with a properly functioning differential one wheel would spin, allowing you to press that brake and then get more traction on the opposite side.)

This really limited the pulling power when trying to plow the garden. It couldn't really just bog down and keep on pulling, like it should. Anyways, I'm just wondering if this means another tractor split. Any other ideas?
 
Most Sherman's in the 2N where and over drive and then standard gears and if in neutral that is just what it is and it should never move. Now if you have a combo which would give you over standard and under driver then yes the clutch could well be slipping or needs adjusted. But as I said if you have it in neutral then it should NEVER move and the 3 point should also not work
 
Yes he does not say neutral but he did say what seems to say it was in neutral
 
Note he said ( Not Hi or Low just normal speeds) and that says he has what is very uncommon in a 2N so that was a way to ask him to explain things better. And I also said the 3 point would not work so I do not understand why your going after me since I was trying to help but you are not doing so
 
is the weep hole clear?..if stopped up it could cause oil to get on clutch..might be able to clean without splitting
