I recently bought a used Yanmar 48" tiller for use with my BX22. I used in in my garden area & thought it did OK - - the clutch slipped whenever it hit an occasional root, as it should.
So I thought I thought I'd use it in the pasture - - intact earth, never broken since it was thicket about 11 years ago. It has some pretty uneven spots when mowing, or for that matter, just riding from one place to the next. So I thought I'd use the tiller on a ~~100' x 50' section & come back with the box blade to even out the surface. Then I'd move on to another section.
Well the tiller slipped quite a bit - - stupid me, I let it go too long. It got to smoking pretty good.
Is there a way to tell how much damage I did? I've since looked up some of the previous posts on slip clutches. Wish I'd done that before I used the tiller!
Can anyone help with recommended slip clutch adjustment for use with my tractor?? Or am I faced with a trial & error endeavor?
Thanks.
