The first time I turned on the pto on my 4310 with the 513 cutter attached, the sheer bolt sheered. The cutter was raised off the ground and idle set low. Since then (about 15 hours total run time, maybe 2 hours shredding), I have gone through about a dozen sheer bolts. Not once have the cutters come in contact with anything harder than a dirt clod (although it hasn't rained in a while and the grass/weeds are pretty tough). I called the dealer a minute ago and he didn't have any ideas, but the main person I needed to talk to was gone for the day. I'm heading to the dealer now to buy another dozen bolts. Anybody have any ideas what may be happening and if I'm doing something wrong? I've used shredders for years without sheering one. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
