POLY CUTTING EDGES

Anyone using a poly cutting edge on a loader bucket for snow removal on concrete ? If so how is it working and holding up ?

I think a loader would crush plastic pipe.
I use 4 inch pipe on my redneck neck snow pusher, but this will float over uneven ground, front bucket has down force, no floating.

Before I put this on Farmall I rigged a way to put it inside bucket front bucket of Terramite
, used a chain to keep it in bucket to allow it to float.

My light design with sewer pipe is light and floats over grass it won't remove a blade of grass. Safe on concrete. Won't work on ice.

Oh my word! There's something other than a Terramite in his life! 😄😄

I run a rubber cutting edge on my v-plow at work. Do several fancy brick drives and scratching them with a metal edge isn't an option. Been running the same rubber edge for 3 years. I would guess it has another year or 2 left before it needs replacing. Far outlasted my expectations when we put it on.

I have a farmall, ford and yes two terramites. I keep farmall and terramite at south end and ford and another terramite at the north end of county. I make compost at both locations so terramites get worked the most. Ford and farmalls get time off in winter if we don't get any snow and last two years only one snow and nothing to push this winter.

You may find it hard to believe, the farmall is my favorite tractor. It was my late mom's, priceless and mechanically sound, great lawn mower in summer. Use it to pull dump trailer when I'm moving dirt, compost, woodchips. Great little tractor.

I cut a 2 inch PVC pipe with a skillsaw and "drove" it on my back blade with a rubber hammer. Not much snow this year but I still have gravel in yard but not as much as before. So the result is still out. I did hit the mailbox post and shattered one end,the cold makes it brittle. Cheap so try it. joe

I used to plow commercial for a guy who did some parking ramps. So we had a few blades and buckets with poly edges for on skidloaders. They are much thicker, so they take a bit to get used to. They do seem to wear okay. They don't cut snow pack like a steel edge will. I ran into a few things quite hard with them, and can vouch, they don't break! The pushers on both wheel loaders had rubber cutting edges. They would last a couple swasons.

The Terramite federales will take your card for that confession! 😊

3000OH,
I wish there was something I could buy that was that same size, had a cab, AC, like the terramite, and MADE IN AMERICA. Terramite has been in business for about 50 years. That tells me that some people see a need for the small Tonka toy. How many new tractors can say Made By Americans in America?

Because of health issues, I can only have gas tractors. There isn't a new gas tractor on the market the 20 -35 hp that is gas. Terramite T5C is 25 hp kohler. Bigger ones are diesels. If you check the base price is close to $25k, so some who want something that small settle for a bota. But when it comes to lifting 1700# and a breaking force with rear bucket 8000# nothing that small comes close.

Besides how many people on YT even owns a terramite?

I find my old tractors and the terramites play well together and I may be using both. Terramite to load dump trailer and Farmall to pull dump trailer. I couldn't do the things I do without both.

I level dirt using Jubilee with my homemade V-shaped blade and the Terramite. A rotating self leveling laser comes in handy too. I helped a neighbor get his 60x120 ft horse arena within a 1/4 in of level.

I love playing with my toys.
