Some are actually designed to slip during operation, case in point, my NH 575 baler. The clutch is designed to slip a bit under heavy plunger load to protect the driveline. Normal operation is for the clutch to heat up under use and it states that in the owners manual. As a rule, I slip all my clutches prior to first season use, according to the values in the owner's manuals.
