Built for Real Farm Work

This bolt size is perfect for medium to heavy-duty connections on tractors, implements, and shop-built equipment. You’ll find 5/8-inch bolts holding together everything from three-point hitch components to loader mounts and cultivator frames. The 2-3/4 inch length is ideal when you need to connect components with some thickness or when multiple parts need to be sandwiched together securely.

Made to Last

Grade 5 bolts offer the sweet spot between strength and cost—they’re about 25% stronger than Grade 2 hardware store bolts but cost less than Grade 8. The zinc plating provides reliable corrosion protection for outdoor applications, so your connections stay solid season after season.

Good to Know

Always use a flat washer under the head and nut to distribute the load properly and prevent damage to the material you’re bolting. If you’re replacing old rusted bolts, clean out the threads with a tap if needed. A little anti-seize compound on the threads makes future removal much easier, especially in applications that might see heat or moisture.
