My Kodiak rotary cutter's manual says to set the slip clutch spring length to 1.27" if it's an EG/Comer or 1.15" if it's a Bondolini & Pavesi.
The pics I can find of those units look nothing like this one (the springs are evenly set around the clutch instead of in pairs). The springs were at 1.05" when I took the pic. After loosening it all the way and slipping it I set them to 1.15". It does not slip on startup with the tractor at idle at that setting.
There's been a few times where I have pulled up a large rock and it went into the blades. Should the clutch slip in that case? Should it slip when engaging the PTO at idle?
