My take on this is that you are working in snow and if it does start to slip slippages builds heat and the snow would melt and this would cause more slippage and you would tighten up the slip clutch more so it would not slip and then you are bound to find something that would be hard enough to trash out the gear box . Case in point here many years ago when we had the big snows back in the seventys alot of guys started buying them around here to keep there lanes open so that the Milk trucks could get in and out . Well ya never know what may be laying in that snow . Well then came the blizzard of 77 and everything around here was shut down . To get roads open everything and anything was used for the job . One big dairy farmer to the NW.of me had a 4-180 white and he had a 8-9 foot snowlander blower that he just bought from a dealer that was just north of me . Well he was working on a section of a state highway with his tractor and blower and he found a SUNDAY VINDICATOR news paper that was all nice and rolled up and he had been eating the grade five shear bolts like M&M's so HE went and drilled out the shear bolt holes from 5/16th to 7/16th's and put , you guessed it grade 8 bolts in . Well that newspaper TRASHED that blower and before everything came to a halt it not only trashed the blower but most of the tractor PTO . So it could be done But at what cost. The gear box is the weak point .
