Our TBN member (RFB) asked me to show him the poly skin I have on my blade so rather than post it on someone else s thread I'll post it here.
This is a poly plow I had on my old pick up that I later modified to fit my Kubota 4240 and now my Kubota 5740. The poly skin can be purchased at a Arctic Plow dealer and you'll have to cut the steel skin off your blade and adapt the blade frame to accept the poly skin. The skin's thickness is 3/8th thick and snow will never stick to it so that's why I like it so much. We get a good bit of wet snow over here and this blade takes care of that.
I also added a kick back shock to the blade as well because there were times the blade would recoil and flick snow and ice back towards the windshield. The shock took care of that issue. The blade comes back nice and easy now making it much safer.
I also added rear skids to the "A" frame to prevent the rear of the blade from digging into the pavement. Here's is a link to the original thread.
