Non driveway marring snow plow wear bars

[Buzz 502]

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.

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

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.

cutting strips of the same dimension from a "horse mat" from TSC(35$) would probably give you a lifetime supply of soft edges.

Tractor Supply also sells conveyor belting as is used on round hay balers.

I have seen it in two different widths.

Might take a look at this.
