Skids, Shoes, Skis advice needed.

[shameless 3]

Hi Guys:

I have a question for all you experienced snow blower operators.

What are the best shoes, skids to use on a blower like this that will not scratch up my asphalt drive or my neighbors concrete drive?

I have them set to keep the scraper blade about 1/16" or so above the ground and the lead edge of the blower body up about 1/4".

The shoes on this unit have 3 bolts on each for adjustment. and are about 10" long and 3/4" wide.

I think the larger shoes you have should be good but you could also line them.

Thanks wallfish:

I have been following that post.

Trying to find a local source for the plastic required.

UHMW can be purchased from GRAINGERS or MCMASTER-CARR. I just googled both and they have lots of choices.

Hi Guys:

A twist on my original question.

Has any one experienced a problem with the shoes scratching concrete or asphalt?

What did you do to avoid it?
