Does anyone know what grade the shear bolt is on the BX2816 & BX2822? I have seen some advertised as grade 8, however, I thought that the originals were grade 5. Personally, I believe the Grade 8 might be too strong and require much more force before they shear, leaving the gearbox open to possible damage. What say the experts?

The shear bolts for the BX2816 are all grade 5
The shear bolts for the BX2822 are grade 2 for the blower and grade 5 for the augers.

No grade 8 anywhere in those models.
