New Kubota..loader edge?

   / New Kubota..loader edge? #61  
Hi. We just got our new Kubota LX3310. Snow is coming. What can we do to protect the loader's bucket 60 inch edge from our tired paved tar driveway? Thank you for your help!
I'm taking your post as wanting to protect your cutting edge, not your driveway. In this case a lot of buckets and drilled to accept a "bolt on cutting edge ", a great investment when doing what you plan to. It's sacrificial and will save an eventual cutting and welding in a new one to your bucket, $$$.
It may not need to be specific to your machine as long as you can find a "boce" (bolt on ...) with the correct drilling pattern. Most are reversible meaning you can wear out both sides by flipping it around when you've worn down one side.
Check with your dealer or a construction equipment (skid steers, backhoes, etc) dealers.
Put me in the rear blade is better group as well. Even a econo TSC blade would be fine.

I searched this topic a few days ago and came up with this thread. It got me thinking about how I have to avoid a decorative concrete area on my property. I found a supplier locally that had various UHMW sizes and thicknesses. The sheet was easily cut on a table saw and I used an old cutting edge to drill mounting holes. As well, I used the old cutting edge as a doubler, although I am not sure I need it. I then used some of the scraps to make a couple shows for the snow blower. With a bit of heat, I was able to make the plastic follow the contour of the shoe. I just did a maiden voyage in -26C temperatures with no surprises. I would imagine that it will wear quicker, and I would consider using 3/4" thickness next time as opposed to 1/2".
