anyway to cover the fel edgefor snow removal so it doesnt scrape my blacktop

[jcummins]

I used a 2 7/8" pipe with slot cut in it. Works fairy well. Have used 2 season, looks like it will last for awhile too.

I may use the fel to clear my blacktop driveway...any good way to cover the steel edge of the fel so it doesn't scrape up my blacktop

Johnny Scheele makes great products. This snow shoe happens to be a 50" model which should fit your bucket.

Email him first before ordering.

I have a JP bucket jr that I've had for years now. No complaints at all. Good quality construction.

Metal pipe or PVC? If metal, how did you cut the slot? Using a grinder would take a while to cut a 6' slot!

No snow here but, I think if you go with PVC pipe you could just clamp it between a couple of 2x4's and cut a slot with a circular saw. 2x4's would keep pipe from rolling.

Metal. Don't think PVC would last. I've read that some have opened up the pipe with the slot using a torch. In my case a friend who had one of those two bladed circular saws cut the slot in it for me.

I had two holes in the bottom of the bucket that the previous owner had drilled. Welded metal tabs, bolted on, works decent.

Windcatcher, do you have a picture of this snow shoe mounted to the bucket or a link to a picture of it mounted? What is their website address? Thanks.

Windcatcher,
Sorry see the website address, now.

I must say that the edge tamer impresses me.
Real smart idea, hope he has a patent.
I welded similar idea for plowing my drive as well as made oversize skids for my blower.
All my gravel problems solved. (and no more sheering of blower pins)

This is a cool product: Tractor Loader Bucket Attachment | The Edge Tamer

I have the Edge Tamers. They work and I recommend them.
