John, I have run shredders all my life, Shear bolts is old school, Personally I will not have a shear bolt set up, I do require a lot from a shredder so I would spend most of my time replacing bolts! A slip clutch is a lot more forgiving, put your fears at ease by simply backing off the tension bolts about 1 or 2 turns in the fall after you put it up till spring, Then in the Spring hook up, service, mow a little till the clutch slips just enough to get rid of any rust that may have formed over winter, then retighten the 1 or 2 turns you took off back in the winter. Then give her h3ll. Also since most older shredders do not have a shield/cover use a old 5 gal bucket or #2 washtub turned upside down to help keep rain, snow away from the slip clutch. Hope this helps! Later, John A.
