Spring tines and bolts

[Billbo]

When I bolt on spring steel tines be it landscape rake or cultivate tines, am I supposed to use a lower grade bolt (regular bolt) so it WILL break or stronger like grade 8 so it won’t break as easy??? Thanks

Why wouĺd you want it to break? In the 30+ years I have owned mine I have never broken anything.

The tines will spring, that's what they do. Buy all the bolt you can afford!!

Thanks for that info. I ask because bolts are relatively inexpensive to replace. Tines or other parts not so much.

You break a bolt and that tine will probably run away and hide
