cod 121 #1 Posted January 6, 2024 Any consensus on a replacement edge for a snow plow? Hot roll, cold roll, 1/4", 3/8" thickness? Mine is getting worn and I believe it has already been flipped over. Another consideration would be to use rather heavy rubber mud flap, although I suspect it would wear out quickly. Any suggestions would be appreciated or a link to previous posts about this subject.

grinchsr 636 #2 Posted January 6, 2024 I trashed the steel one and found the correct size piece of UHMV on the internet. I did have to drill the holes using the old steel one for a template. It has been on my plow for a few years and it is not showing much wear and it is not hurting my new driveway which makes me happy. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is your driveway newer asphalt, concrete, or do you NOT want it scratched? A high density plastic would be a great alternative. For steels I'd lean towards a piece of whatever was available to be had and try to find something harder like a skidsteer blade. Those are on the jungle site and other places for reasonable prices. Far as sizing goes I have a pretty wicked tendency towards go big or go home but I have a hydraulic lift doing the work. If I was running a manual lift I'd stay lighter on materials. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought a piece 1/2” x 4” x 48” lg. from Amazon. I then use the standard metal blade as a clamp plate. I also put golf cart tires on the back so I don’t need chains either. As grinchsr said, now I’m not marking my driveway at all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,874 #7 Posted January 7, 2024 I used an old piece of conveyor belting for a rubber edge and it is sandwiched between the metal blade edge and plow face. 3/8" stuff. lasts a long time. I actually tried this broom thing one year and it worked pretty good. A friend of mine gave it to me. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just curious about overall durability I had also thought about getting one of the horse mats from my local farm store and cutting strips for the same purpose Edited January 7, 2024 by OoPEZoO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
