Breaking bolts.

[JD PLOWER]

The 8611 seems to be eating cutting edge bolts for breakfast. At least 1 maybe as many as 3 per storm break on the main edge. The weight of the plow is just too much for the smaller bolts and edge. I'm thinking that some drilling might be in order for beefier 5/8 bolts. Just something to keep in mind when buying the 8611.

I had the same problem on my old Fisher. 5/8 bolts were the answer. Expensive drill bit and they break easy.
Have the holes in the edge plasma cut instead of drilling. The square hole grabbing the bit is what breaks them.
