I shy away from them at every opportunity. A shear bolt is foolproof.
A slip clutch has many skeletons in the closet! Question for me is, which one is going to jump out and bite me......and it has happened on a popular brand 8' twin rotor shredder, JD 4020 driver. Got to where anytime I had one it was barn stored and I backed off the springs every spring before using and ran it so it would deliberately slip.....in heavy grass.
