Snow skids on a box-blade

[skypros]

Has anyone ever put snow skids on a Box-Blade?

I want to use my box blade on my Gravel driveway..... and also use in on the asphalt street.
Going forward I don't think I will have much of an issue..... But going backward (pushing) snow, I could really mess up the gravel and if I hit a crack in the street I could do some damage.

I have looked everywhere.... and I have not seen skids placed on a "box blade" However, I do see them on a "snow pusher" which is basically a reversed box blade (without the blade).

Thanks

Thank You Roadworthy, I do own a pair of the edge tamers for the FEL bucket...... and they work GREAT !

I was going to suggest something like the height adjustable skids that are on my tiller... but Roadworthy's Edge Tamer skids look like they'd fit the bill.

Decades ago, I made a pair from angle iron that bolt to the ends of my box blade. Adjustable height, IIRC. Worked well for new grass seed prep but never tried them on gravel. I could probably find them if anyone wants a picture.

Got the idea from a landscaper who just bolted 2x6 boards on his ends and set the heights so that the scarfiers dug and the rear blade was an inch or two above the ground. Dirt clumps that were kicked up by the scarfiers rattled around inside the box until they were fine enough to exit the rear gap. When the boards wore out he just replaced them.
