My brother bought a new unused rototiller from a dealer some years ago and it hit some hard material and killed the tractor. We thought that it was interesting as it had a slip clutch in the PTO shaft. We thought maybe it was adjusted too tightly for his tractor HP so we loosened the bolts on the clutch and even with the bolts totally slacked off, the clutch would not slip. It was rusted solid.
Called the dealer and said they had never seen that before.... All of the new tillers were sitting in the rain waiting to be sold.
That’s a shame and is exactly why I started this thread. What a shame. I guess it’s not cost effective to cover all or most items from the elements but it does make it challenging when an implement is being delivered from another state sight unseen.
