Description
If you’ve ever hit a stump or rock with your rotary cutter and heard that telltale grinding noise, you know why slip clutches exist. When something stops your blades suddenly, this friction disc slips to protect your PTO shaft and gearbox from expensive damage. It’s a lot cheaper to replace a clutch disc than rebuild a transmission or buy a new cutter gearbox.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-sized 8.00 inch outside diameter and 5.50 inch inside diameter for proper fit
- Quality friction material that grips when it should and slips when it needs to
- 0.125 inch thickness built to handle the torque loads of rotary cutting
- Direct replacement that installs just like the original factory part
Built for Real Farm Work
This disc fits rotary cutters and brush hogs that use the larger slip clutch assemblies. Whether you’re maintaining fence rows, cutting hay fields, or clearing brush, this disc handles the demanding work these implements were designed for. It’s especially common on mid-size to larger cutters that see heavy-duty use.
Made to Last
The friction material is formulated to withstand the heat and pressure that comes with protecting your equipment. Unlike cheap alternatives that either slip too easily or don’t slip when they should, this disc provides consistent performance season after season. The backing material won’t warp or crack under normal use.
Good to Know
When installing, make sure the clutch plates are clean and properly aligned. A little grease on the splines helps with assembly, but keep it off the friction surfaces. If your clutch has been slipping frequently, check that the spring pressure is set correctly—sometimes it just needs a minor adjustment to work like new again.
