No one cares about the operator.... ;)

The shear bolt breaks when you hit a rock. Something will break, you really hope it is the shear bolt. Otherwise the frame, bar, tractor 3pt linkage, or a rear end gear _will_ break.

The shear pin would be sized to the point in the ground.

The implement will be sized to the tractor by the # of points you have.

So, look at the commercial ones you see, and measure the size of the pin, the depth of the point from the pivot pin, and the distance from the pivot pin to the shear pin.

All 3 of those numbers are important, and if you build exactly the same, you can use the same size (and grade of course) of shear pin.
