Just was wondering! Getting 28 TON SPEECO splitter ready for Winter, and I was looking at the bolt that attaches my wedge to the ram and I believe it's a Grade 5 Bolt, So my questions are. #1 would it be better to have a Grade 5 bolt than a Grade 8? My theory is when I get into some really KNARLY stuff or a crotch the Grade 5 would shear or break and NOT possibly cause damage to my RAM cylinder( Bolts cheaper than RAM)#2 or Replace Grade 8 and take my chances that it being stronger and plow on through the KNOT,CROTCH, OAK etc, you get the idea.
