Snow "Soft" edge for snow removal?

[psvines]

I had to wait almost 3 years but finally got the chance to try the rear blade with a piece of TSC stall mat attached.
It definitely moves far less gravel, though time will tell how long it lasts. But then again, I’ve got enough left over for many more pieces.

I bought a Frontier (Deere) front blade that mounts to the loader (QA bucket comes off, blade goes on. It works well if the snow is cleared before it freezes...after freezing, the blade trips pretty frequently.
There's a rubber strip (about an inch and a quarter thick) that replaces the steel cutting edge...does a good job and doesn't tear up the asphalt

Depending on the mounting method, you might need longer bolts.

Below is what I have :

Snow Plow Blades - Holes Not Included
Thickness x Width: 1"x6"
Length: 60"

Sandwiched it between the cutting edge and the plow like psvines pic on my Bx2763.

Works amazing.

Posts 11 thru 16 -- those are great answers to a common problem all of us have when scraping driveways (paved or stone) with our tractors.

I added wide strips of hard poly to the underside of my bucket used for clearing driveways (do not have a blade in use for that purpose...) I bolted the strips on using carriage bolts imbedding the round bolt heads in the material. Not perfect but works fairly well. The TSC stall mat material has to be a great find for this kind of application.

I'm wondering if that might work on the scraping/cutting edge of the snowblower too ?

Generally you can angle a snowblower up so the cutting edge isnt hitting the ground & it floats on a bit of snow. The geometry of a blower cutting edge is pretty parallel to the ground. On a blade the cutting edge is pretty perpendicular to the ground.

True, good points. And over the years I have found that the angle of the snow blower (best being very slightly upward rather than digging in) is THE major factor.
