Anyone tried bolting on a plastic edge piece to their FEL, to scrape down to the pavement when scooping snow on your driveway? I realize the necessity to use countersunk bolts, and likely round heads, with squares below the round heads, to prevent the bolts from spinning when you tighten them. Just wondering if anyone has experience they care to share so I can avoid re-inventing the wheel.
I have been using knock-off Edge Tamers, but my neighbor (shared driveway) doesn't like the one-inch of snow. I leave behind, as it quickly compresses into ice when driven over. He wants me to add a plastic edge piece scraper to my FEL. Best part is, he tried this, himself, already, on his tractor!
He told me to leave the driveway to him, with his industrial snow blower, which scrapes down to the pavement; he said I could use my FEL to remove the 3-foot plow wall at the street because if that gets icy, it doesn't matter. I do not want to let him have all of the fun/responsibility, but I understand his issue with my leaving a one-inch layer of snow behind....
Any insights would be much appreciated. Looking to avoid commercial products, as this seems like a simple-enough DIY project, with a little guidance. Cheers!
PS:
If this is NOT a DIY project, I would appreciate insight as to why a commercial product is recommended instead. Thanks!
