Rubber Pusher Plate

[McCaskey]

I used some old skidsteer track to make a rubber pusher plate.
Adding 4 wings on each side.

Track was cut with a reciprocating saw with a 12 carbide blade, Outside, lots of smoke.

That's cool but what do you push? Cars? Cattle? Chickens? :confused3:

I agree; push what?

I mean, it's a nice job and something that you obviously need to do 'more than once' or else you wouldn't have gone to the effort to build it. :scratchchin:

@McCaskey that is awesome. I made a smaller one long ago but not as nice as yours. Mine slipped onto the forks of a wheel loader or forklift. And good idea using the track steer track

Definitely a top notch job

When building box stalls I needed to cut /trim floor matts.

Tried all kinds of saws, friction blades oil etc.
They would however create a smoke screen from burnt rubber.

Finally came up with a plan.
I would flop the floor matt over a 4 x 4 and using a new box blade c/w a straight edge make a cut (deep slit)
Being over the 4 x 4 a hump was formed allowing the slit to spread open and that reduced friction.
Usually 2-3 box blade passes and the 3/4 " matt was neatly cut where I wanted.
Also discovered that dish detergent sprayed in the cut zone acted like a lubricant while oils did not help.
