could i use this on a 1000 pto to not damage 540 pto equipment .will if just keep slipping to keep from damaging the equipment or work as a torque conveter and power down the 1000 pto ?

I would think that as long as the splines of the slipclutch fit on it, you *should* be able to adjust the tension on the springs to work for whatever attachment you use it with. The clutch shouldn't care what the rpm's are, only the amount of torque being supplied.

Ditto that.

If I understand your question, it will run your attachment at 1000 rpm until the load gets high enough to slip. When it starts slipping you will smell it and probably hear it. If it keeps slipping it will wear out quickly. It will not convert torque in any useful way.

A slip clutch is not a speed reducer.

We've seen many things that were built for 540 rpm run at 1000. I don't know what your particular application is but caution is the key word.

anyone make a pto speed reducer ?>

Actually, it seems like I recall there are PTO (internal) gear reduction drive kits for some tractors. I also think there is an external gear reduction deal that someone offers that will fit certain tractors. I don't have any links for either one of those since I've never had a need for either one.

If I understand the intent of the question, then, why not use the throttle and adjust engine speed? bjr

I always thought a slip clutch was an adapter to slide over the PTO shaft to keep a bush hog or other equipment from pushing you into a ditch or lake if you didn't have a 2 stage clutch in your tractor. Someone correct me if I am wrong. It will not decrease yout PTO rpm's any.

slip clutch if well somemodel they vary sorta , like if you hit a rock or somthing instead of binding up etc and damaging your gear box,pto or tractor it allows the pto to slip instead of contuing to turn.i figured it would allow be to use faster rpms or hp and if it got to much or to a breaking point it would just slip
