"Maybe the Oliver was too powerful..." Don't be silly.
Unless you pulled the throttle wide open and "dumped" the PTO clutch (i.e. you didn't feather the PTO to start the machine), or tried to push the machine beyond its capacity (i.e. you drove too fast and tried to push too much material through because the tractor was not lugging down like a smaller one would), it has nothing to do with the power of the tractor.
