we have a 9' foster but only put 70 hp on it, had a seal go on one of the side gearboxes so I drilled little breather holes in the filler plugs and its been ok since
We are pretty steep ground... our tractors are 95hp and 135hp.
On either tractor if you find a rock, chances are you smash the gear, rather than break the shear bolt! Price of the gear, it's actually cheaper to just replace the whole gearbox.
They are exact same gearboxes Fleming, Star, Abby and whoever else use and only rated to about 60hp
