I finally got a set of Edge Tamers for my bucket and installed them today. Of course, now we have no snow in the forecast for the immediate future. Well, at least I am ready for it!

They are a great product!
If you have much crown in your driveway, a third one in the middle of your bucket is a good idea.

Those work great! I leave mine on most of the time now, unless I need to really dig into a pile of material. They work great for snow, and for cleaning manure piles up in the paddock in the spring. I have even pushed piles of leaves in the fall with them on the bucket.

That or perhaps moving them part way towards center might just do the trick.

All depends on crown, road width, plowing width etc. I’m sure, when it snows for you in about 3 years, you will get it fine tuned to your road.
As an example I have a 6’ bucket and a 10’ road with crown. I’d probably start with one on the right edge and the the left one in about 18” or so. Then just run down the “right” side of the road.

Yep they sure work.
I have a DIY on the trailing edge of my angled blade and oversized skids or shoes on my blower.
On the blower it saves me sheer bolts as well as rakeing gravel in the spring.
When I plowed commercially first snow on non frozen gravel drives was the worst of the worst.
Making it even worst being in cottage country not one client had a paved drive.
I ended up making small skis for that 8 ft fisher blade that hung on the front of my plow truck.
The factory round skids simply dug in and made total messes.
3" X 12" little skis did the trick!

I read on another thread that someone put them on their snowblower. Does anyone have any history with that? With my gravel drive it sure would be nice if that were true.

I've done that.
About 3" wide, upturned at both ends and 12" long.
Simply welded then onto the factory skids.
Bonus is no more sheered bolts.
No more raking stones for me.
