Anti-scratch cutting edge for rear scraper blades for snow removal? What are you usin

[ctlguy]

In the past I have bought surplus or old poly washroom stall walls and doors from local school districts. Price is usually right, or free if you ask the right school employee nicely !! They probably didn't last as long as some other poly material out there but then again the price was right and easy to bandsaw off a chunk and bolt in place.

I cut a strip off of a rubber horse mat from Rural King that I was using for my son's weight room. Then drilled holes in it and bolted it between the rear blade and the bottom cutting edge. I did have to buy longer bolts to accomodate the greater thickness. The rubber pad extends ~3/4" below the cutting edge to squeegy the snow off and as it piles up the cutting edge and blade do the majority of moving. Works great on concrete and asphalt with no gouging or cuts made into the surface.

What did you use to cut it with?

i just did this yesterdaay. I used a regular razer blade. I went over the cut about 3 times and kept the edge hanging over a block so the cut was exposed. Did not need longer bolts for my tractor supply blade. The bolts were just long enough to grab the plastic in the bolts so they dont rattle out. Tested it out on drive way. Pretty nice.

I've cut stall mats with a sawzall.
The trick is to twist the cut appart so the mat isn't against the blade.
Two people needed, three would be better.
