Concerning snowplow digging into the lawn:

I knew the round edge was the way to go but I wasnt happy with the way the bolt-on pipe was letting snow come up under the blade so I thunk on it and ureka it hit me.

Take a 6ft. piece of 2inch pipe - cut a slit the thickness of my blade edge the full length of the pipe - then slip it over the bottom of the blade edge like a cap, tack it in a few spots and done!

That way I can plow forward or backward without digging up the drive or lawn and have a reinforced round edge.

Being real proud of my Einstein self I called my buddy the welder/fabricator and ran it by him and he said,"ya, that"s the way I"ve been doin it for years for guys on soft ground. I lay an angle iron down beside the pipe as a guide for the slit. Takes about ten minutes."

Oh well, so I wasnt the first to come up with the idea, at least the grey matter is still functional.

Dellbertt,
I plow with the blade straight and angled with no problems. Also the price of a piece of pvc pipe is only a couple of bucks so I figure that if I had to replace a couple times a year it would be well worth it. I know it has made my life alot easier. And when I stand back and look at it I think boy why didn"t I think of that!!! LOL Let me know how it worked for you. Mike from MI

Dellbertt,
I was having the same problem digging up my yard. I ran across a thread a couple days ago on another tractor site and found my answer. What I was told to do was take a 2inch or 3inch piece of pvc pipe cut it to length of the blade and then take the skill saw and make one cut length ways on the pipe and slip it over the blade edge. I was skeptical at first thinking it would not stay on because it doesn"t use any fastner just the spring in the pipe, or scape worth a darn. But I have used it four times now and wish I had found out sooner!!! Plus doesn"t wear the blade down and you can buy it for a couple bucks. Any questions let me know. Mike from MI

Do you always run your blade straight or do you angle. Does it stay on with the blade angled.

It doesnt seem like the plastic would hold up but then again all youre doing is sliding it. And at that price you could by a new one every year. AND it comes off easy.

Thanks, Ill try it tomorrow.
