Hi Ron, Your slack in a chain should be twice the thickness of the chain width, measured half way between the straight plain of the sprockets. Another words put a straight edge on top of both sprockets and measure the slack inbetween them at the mid point distance, measuring the gap between the bottom of the straight edge and the top of the chain, should be twice the chain width.

A shear bolt is designed to keep from tearing something up when the system capicity is exceeded.
If all your bearings are good and there's no binding in the blades, then your exceeding the design of the equipment by over feeding the intake. Why and where? Thats hard to say without looking at it.
