It's a good idea to consider why you're shearing bolts. I did that at first when I got my new King Kutter but realized that I wasn't paying enough attention to terrain and adjusting height accordingly. Personally, I prefer shear bolts to slip clutches because you don't have to maintain them. The clutches should be disassembled, cleaned, and adjusted at least every year, especially if left outside where they can rust together. If rusted together or not adjusted properly, they can ruin the drive train of your tractor when you hit something solid. On my JD 603 they have two mating surfaces (discs) which are clamped together by two rings with several bolts. The bolts have springs under the heads and you adjust the tension by tightening or loosening the bolts. HTH. Glenn

You do NOT have to disassemble a slip clutch to maintain it. All you do it loosen the nuts on the springs, and slip it a small amount. Then reajust it for the hp of your tractor!! Do this every spring, and your set for the year. With a shear bolt, there's no safe way to ajust the cutter to the tractor it's being being on!! Robert

TSC sells slip clutches for around $80. It will stop the shear bolt problem, but you have to be aware of extra driveline length when attaching. I personally use a harder bolt when I have a problem like that, but then again, I have mostly 100+ hp tractors. HTH
