Kind of a newby here.

I have a Yanmar 5 ft. tiller and no tractor. My Jubilee won't work because the ground speed is too fast. A friend comes over with his tractor to do the tilling and he uses the tiller on his place. He keeps saying we need a slip clutch but I don't know much more about them than they help protect the PTO shaft.

Can someone give a definition and maybe a picture? Appreciate any and all comments.
