Cutting edge for plowing

[brianm]

Hello all seeing how winter is around the corner probably time to look at the plow rig again. Wondering what options I could use for a cutting edge on my plow? There’s steel there now but it seams a bit hard on the pavement. Just wondering if there might be a better option like Teflon or something that would last a while and not scratch up the driveway. Thanks

Should a snow plow blade touch the ground? To provide extra-long operating life of the moldboard. A cutting edge should be 1/2" above the ground when plow shoes are used and the moldboard is in plowing position; it can be higher when used on gravel driveways. Cutting edges are also available in urethane or rubber.
Your choice though, I scrape down closer with my Bobcat blade, but I also use it to plow dirt/gravel, etc.

I have used puck board type material before seems to work ok not the toughest but can't remember where I got it.

UHMW is common out east.

Guy that setup our plasma cutter at work was from Quebec, his winter side business was cutting UHMW cutting edges and wear bears on a CNC router table. Said it was very common and he made good money doing it.

Thanks guys for the thoughts, got busy at work over the weekend. Probably try some Teflon and see how that works
