Snow blade shoes

[dandan111 53]

It looks like the shoes for the snow blades are no longer available? Just wondering.

 

I bought a cutting edge a few years ago.

I've tried them and wasn't impressed for our driveway. They dug right in. Seems a common theme with softer aggregates. 

 

I have two sets of aftermarket shoes I'd sell.  Different types.

I’m using mine on gravel. I’m using my dial adjust to keep

 blade off of ground about 1/2 inch or so. So far I like it. Shoes are

just basically in case it touches. I always plowed concrete so this is

new to me. First time I ever ran the shoes. My cutting edge should

last a lot longer.

I’d like a spare set of these

I have a home shop made set similar to that. Mine do not have the grooves for the bolts and one needs the angle corrected.  I'll get pics later.

When I got my new to me used 48" long frame plow, it came with a set of those adjustable skids & hardware that were never installed. Before I used the plow with the skids installed, I welded some scrap 3/8" thick cold rolled pads to the bottoms, as there is more than enough adjustment in the slots. IMHO, the OE skids are too thin for repeated annual use.

You can still get a 2-piece black gold plated set with hardware from Toro.

Gravel drive? PVC pipe. Protects the grass too!

Over the years I have tried various plow skids.  95% of my plowing is on gravel, dirt, some sod.

 

Homemade from pipe caps. Skid runner type and the vastly overpriced Toro skids.  The first two wear out fast (especially now with the heavy 56 inch blade)

The absolute best is the dome type modified with extra welding
