yeah ive been wondering this as ive heaps kicking around, i would have thought the 3 sided stuff would be ok on a zook or something without massive grunt, or theres 6 sided stuff we use on our power harrow which takes 130hp and it chews stones for a living, so id reckon it would be strong enough, i know the stresses are different like a spinning wheel which then hits the ground and grips rather than just running at 540rpm all day but still

just thinking out loud

Do you need a massive amount of slip with your link set up?
