Stalled tractor bush hogging

[caleb90]

Was bush hogging today ended stalling the tractor out 3 times. Ran blades into mounds of dirt and never broke the shear pin, assuming because it never hit hard. Using plane 1/2 bolts with no head markings, same ones ive used and broke before. That being said how durable are these electric over hydraulic pto clutches? Checked the fluid and it dosnt smell burnt or like clutch material. Whats the odds i hurt somthing

Probably nothing. The shear bolts should be engineered to shear before damage to the clutch packs.
Try not top make a habit out of it and shoot the ground hogs if they are making the dirt mounds. Those miserable oversized rats do the world zero good and may cost you dearly if it happens continually.

I know a fellow down here that more or less leveled his property by scalping with a bush hog mower LOL, although he had a slip clutch on his mower and he is still using it today.

Bush hogging does have a leveling effect over time
