Tractor bogged down then shut off

[CaseVol]

I was mowing hay with a Case JX 70 tractor with a New Idea 5408 disc mower. As I was mowing I ran into a wire cage that I did not see and it got caught up in the mower and before I could disengage the PTO the tractor shut off. I then disengaged the PTO, started the tractor back up and parked the tractor.

Is it likely that I have damaged my tractor and if so how can I determine whether the tractor has been damaged. This tractor is brand new (only 90 hrs) and is still under warranty. If it is damaged I wonder if the warranty would even cover this.

Not likely to have hurt the tractor. Most mowers have a shear bolt or slip clutch. I would give it a visual inspection and try the mower out. The one thing you may want to do is check the adjustment of the slip clutch if it has one. It might be set a little tight. If you hurt the tractor it would be in the pto and they are built robust.

Thanks for the replies. Don't know about the mower yet. I'll look into tomorrow. I would say that your right about the slip clutch needing adjustment. After what happen I thought I would call it a day. Wasn't in the mood to possible discover any problems. Also needed to go to the house and change underwear (haha). Goin be fun getting all that wire out of the mower.
