Key point. Draw it tight by hand...then one and 1/2 turns. Each bolt....thanks!

Attach tiller on tractor, loosen up all the bolts and run tiller to conferm all the disks are spinning. Continue with adjustment. Do every year before use.

I just bought a new 6' King Kutter. Factory set pto clutch bolts were 3 1/2 turns in. I turned all nuts loose and slipped the clutch. I started of with 1 1/2 turns in. Ran the tiller one time across the field. Marks showed the clutch slipped and clutch was starting to get hot. Turned nuts in another 1/2 turn. Another pass across field and marks showed it had slipped. Turned nuts another 1/2 turn. Another pass across field showed it still slipped. Clutch was not getting hot but I had no way to tell if clutch slipped 1/4 turn or several turns. I may go in one more 1/2 turn to see if it stops moving. 1/2 turn after that and I am back to the way it came from the factory, which was really tight . The springs were mashed almost together.

Mine has less than 50 hours on it, brush cutter not tiller. I also don't think the dealer did a "run in" on the clutch, just tried and appears one plate slipped but not the other one. I'm thinking about contacting another kubota dealer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Any ideas on how to TEST it manually? My instruction say to spin it 2 turns. Maybe I'll lock in the tines and try to spin the PTO..

Have you ever had any issues with these getting out of center?

if it stopped the tractor. that means the clutch was not slipping
