Well, the MX is strong, but I don't think it makes 47hp at idle. I took the gearhead back to TSC today and they called Speco (sp?) while I was there. They are shipping a new gearhead out tomorrow. Interestingly, the manager at TSC asked if I was using Grade 5 shear bolts. I said no, grade 2. He RECOMMENDED grade 5 and said that they had had several rotary cutter gearboxes go down with grade 2 bolts. Apparently, they often bend but don't break. The grade 5s, while stronger, are also more brittle and snap off when they let go. What do you think about that, Ken?
