[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1477343, member: 19817"] No shear bolt but a slip clutch on the input of the gearbox. When tested it slipped at the book spec'd torque. When the bearing failed the gearbox locked up and in an instant the gearbox tore from the frame before the clutch had time to slip. When the gearbox rotated about its input shafts the output shaft which is at a 90 had no choice but to snap off. Nothing against the baler just using it as an example of how the economics of making hay "cheap" can change in a hurry. I make a lot of hay both for myself and as a custom operator and even at that it's hard to stomach the expensive of a baler sometimes. [/QUOTE]
