Gene, I currently have three pieces of that 1/4" thick stuff, so I'll use those up -- but yeah, I was already thinking of getting some thicker stuff, when I wear out the ones I have. And yes, I'll flip them around after they wear down.

The OEM blade is 2-1/2" wide, my UHMWPE pieces are 3" wide -- What width 1/2" thick PE are you using? (Where'd you get it?)

Maybe you could double up, sandwich 2 of the 1/4"?

As for mine, I got it on amazon, here's the link: Peachtree 1124 UHMW Sheet 1/2" x 4" x 48" - - Amazon.com Price actually went down from what I paid!

I haven't had to flip mine over yet, used it 3 winters on the current side. See pic bellow, I think it wore maybe 3/8" at most. But I suspect it's going to wear faster now with the plow mounted on the massey.

Thanks, Gene -- just ordered a piece of that. Do I understand correctly, that you got 3 years out of that on a blower and you haven't yet flipped it? If so, that's quite good! My mild steel (quite inexpensive) blades I was using would have to be flipped after 1-1/2 seasons. After 3 seasons, they were toast.

Irving, yeh 3 seasons on mine (on a plow), but as they say your mileage may vary per amount of snowfall per year, condition of driveway, that sort of thing. I'm very happy with this material though!

Got this guy ready to move some snow today as we're expecting 3-5" tonight/tomorrow. Snapped on the back blade and swapped from forks to the loader bucket.

All this was done after I went and moved a large pile of crab apple tree ...slayings? Definitely more than some simple pruning as my dad cleared a large arch to park his RV under what remains of those tree's. No pics on that though as it was muddy, raining and I was just trying to get it done since I only intended to swap fork/bucket when I saw the pile and said "ah s!#$" and hung a left instead (he lives a couple acres up the hill with a clear sightline)

Happy holidays everyone! May Santa bring you new toys for your little red machines!PXL_20201224_191116518.jpg

Clearly you've been a good boy this year! Having a good trailer is worth it's weight in gold!

I picked up a used 18' dovetail car hauler earlier this year to haul ol' red around for my own purposes. Enjoy!

He said “good enough” lol.

Until now I’ve used my 6x12’ dump. But between fighting the ramps, and not having enough room for multiple attachments, it was time.

Way overkill at 15k, 1 year old, tilt deck for about a $1500 discount. I registered it at 10k. Pulls nice empty. It will make loading so much simpler.

That's why I scooped up the dovetail with ramps. The angle of approach will be a piece of cake. Mine's a 2010 but is in real good shape other than some surface rust and a few dents on the wheel fenders. Bought it and never really used in on the road it seems so it never picked up the salt and wear and tear
