A Torque Limiter is implemented when an implement exceeds the front PTO horsepower.
This Torque limiter under extreme load will slip loose allowing all overload on the front PTO and tractor to be released, Once the front PTO of the tractor is turned off the torque limiter will click back into place allowing the use of the front implement again.
Therefore saving the front Pto and the tractor. This torque limiter is mostly used on our 540rpm gearboxes which are put on tractors over 100 hp engine.
