I believe it is quite common to have slip clutches on flail mowers. Mine came with one. It also came with an over-running clutch which lets the rotor spin down naturally rather than stopping suddenly.

I have to look now. I don't think my "PERFECT" ditch mower by VanWamel has a clutch either.

The mower has ten pound or so hammers and I'm actually surprised it doesn't have an over running clutch for so much spinning mass. Unless I never noticed it.

Yup, my Chinese verge mower has an overruning clutch too.

21 spline is for a 1000 RPM PTO.
6 spline is for a 540 RPM PTO.
If you use an adapter it might not spin fast enough to cut well.
You need to figure out the ratio of the gearbox.
Also, it does not look like the old Mott that I had:

Thanks xfaxman. what tractor has a 1000 rpm pto? that seems really fast. Do you know what/where I can get the attachment? I need to try it since I own it now.

I just went through my old emails and the old owner said that it used to be attached to a international cub lo-boy 154 tractor. Little research and the tractor has 1600 rpm pto and counter clockwise. That's not good!

The new holland tn has a reversible shaft one end runs 540 the other 1000. Actually a lot of the larger tractors allow you to do this. Most of the newer larger tractors have a selection lever between 1000 or 540 rpm.
