Shear pin trouble on Land Pride Tiller

[dmg]

Hey Guys ! I need some help, My Land Pride RTR0550 tiller loves to eat shear bolts , I am using the dealer recommened M6 x 40 Grade 8.8 bolts , and they seem to shear with the smallest root or rock. I have ask my dealer for help with this and he just doesn't seem to know either . I am using the Tiller
with a JD 2305 at the right RPM, ground speed, and depth. Any help will be
greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

In this case, forget the dealer, sounds like he is not a help.
contact a technical rep at Landpride and explain it, if it's the least bit common problem, they have heard it before and can make recomendations.

Beyond all of this, perhaps there is a way to change over to a slip clutch?
