2. More importantly, the center spindle pulley extends out beyond the bolt locations and slides down quite low on the spindle shaft.
If carriage or hex head bolts are used, the bottom of the pulley will hit the heads of the bolts. When you tighten the pulley down it will not even spin. The plow bolts have flat heads, thus no problem.
So there is some rocket science involved.
