Buzz 502 #1 Posted December 21, 2010 I just had my driveway resurfaced this past summer and don't want to scrape it up too badly when I plow. I'm going to use ag tires with heavy wheel weights but what can I do to keep the plow from tearing up the asphalt especially when the blade is on an angle. I remember that this was discussed quite a while back but no matter what key words I use I can't find it by searching. I'll use the plow on 3"- 5" snows, deep ones I'll use the snow thrower.

TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #2 Posted December 21, 2010 Sandwiching a piece of conveyor belting or UHMW polyethylene between the cutting edge and the blade is normally how it's done, Buzz. Here's a link to some pre-cut UHMW: CLICKY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #3 Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks Terry. I've been looking to find a supplier of UHMW in my area but the link you sent with it being precut is probably how I'm going to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Save Old Iron 1,563 #4 Posted December 21, 2010 cutting strips of the same dimension from a "horse mat" from TSC(35$) would probably give you a lifetime supply of soft edges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 604 #5 Posted December 21, 2010 Tractor Supply also sells conveyor belting as is used on round hay balers. I have seen it in two different widths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
