Why Am I Burning Clutches on My Deere MX6 Bush Hog?

Overview

A viewer-question format video where Mike diagnoses why Vernon keeps burning slip clutches on his MX6 behind a 5085E. It covers four specific causes: incorrect slip-clutch adjustment, improper front-to-back cutter rake angle, mowing height, and the mismatch of running a 70-PTO-hp tractor on a 6-foot cutter where you lose feedback. Closes with a candid suggestion that a finish mower might be the real fix. Most useful for owners troubleshooting the same slip-clutch problem.

Tractor Mike is a longtime tractor-industry insider with decades of hands-on experience in the equipment business. He built his channel to help first-time and rural buyers make confident decisions, and his guidance comes from that deep, long-term background rather than a sales pitch.
