Tiller shearing Drive Bolts
I have a B6000E with a Kubota Tiller. The Drive shaft on the tiller keeps shearing the two blots. I have tried Grade 5. Lasted for about 20 minutes. Will I have better luck with Grade 8? Is this a common problem with Kubota tiller? Should I just keep a bag full of 5/16 Bolts with me
? Thank you ahead of time for any help or information.

Re: Tiller shearing Drive Bolts
If you are gonna use the bolts then it is best for the bolts to sheer than your PTO system on the tractor.
A slip clutch is what is best used for tilling operations.
