Krone 4m mower slip clutch

[Michael S]

We seem to have problems every year with the slip clutch on our Krone Easymow 400, a mounted 4m disc mower. Our use is slightly untypical in that we are using it to mow herbage seed stubbles that have been stripped by the combine. Today we have burnt out two clutches despite operating at 8km/hr or less mowing red fescue. Whilst putting in new plates isn't that hard it is frustrating that we can't get on. Has anyone changed from a plate clutch to a cam clutch on a mower? I think that we have a Fendt 820 on the front doesn't help because even in eco pto I think the clutch slips without the operator knowing because the tractor doesn't get pulled down by the mower?

Any suggestions (except a smaller tractor as that is a smallest tractor available)?

I have the same mower,I think your tractor is the problem,too much power in an enormous crop! I run mine on a 120 hp tractor,runs fine,gets pulled down on the hills. Sorry!
You could put another mower on the front?!
