Generic bucket edge tamers

I ordered a set of these for the little bucket on my TYM T224. I'd like to use it for snow removal and much of my driveway is asphalt that I don't want to damage. One day I may get a 3-pt rear PTO driven snowblower for it to replace or at least add to my collection of struggle behind snowblowers that get me through every Buffalo NY winter.

These edge tamers look and feel pretty good for Chinese specials. They are cast iron and they came with plastic slippers that mount on with anodized aluminum brackets and cap screws. They are 3" wide. The only color available was green, so my tractor is feeling kind of fancy right now. I don't have them snugged to the bucket yet. Just test fitting them on there for now. These were just under $100 for the pair.

I got a pair like that, less than $100 from Vevor. Chinese made, no fancy slippers, work great, but have to keep tightening the bolts. I have compacted staymat product for driveway. I only use until driveway freezes solid. I also leave an inch or two of snow to compact over. Flat driveway...

Exactly why US manufacturing is struggling.

Yep, even though I was a customer of yours, let's blame the guy who has a budget. In some cases, it's buy foreign or do without.

I hear you. At the end of the day my whole machine is a Korean import. In terms of the edge tamers, I can't buy them off the shelf anywhere. I be happy with spending $40-50 more on a pair made here, but 100% more? Not for something like this.

I have two pair of edge tamers. The real deal. (Buy American!)
Welded steel.

Cast iron on the wear surface sounds great. Cast iron at the clamp... not so much.

Now if they were Meehanite Ductile iron, GOLDEN!

I’ve had the official USA made Edge Tamers for 3-4 years and like them a lot, they work very nice, very easy to install or remove, I would buy them again if needed.
