Greetings,
Well Colorado and Northwestern Kansas have just seen lots of snow . . and soon many states like mine (WI) will be seeing some snow too (but not the quantity Colorado just got at 3 feet).
For some time I've been considering snow handling choices for my new Massey scut (GC1715). I already have a new snowblower to go on my zero turn garden tractor as well.
Because I don't want to remove my fel for winter purposes . . . and just a bucket is not a great choice for a very long concrete driveway and concrete sidewalks (wear and tear) . . . I considered The Snow Edge as an interesting product.
Its made by RatchetRake and is a bucket "clamp on" product with a 2.5 inch thick nylon-type edge . . nothing bolts to the bucket. It keeps the bucket raised above the concrete and allows snow to be back dragged for close up clearing . . as well as doing forward clearing of snow and slush.
Anyone have experience or ever used the product or something like it ?
P.s. incidentally . . Because the nylon edge is designed to be sacrificial wear as you use it . . they are rated for 30 to 32 hours of use and you replace the edge for $49.00. 30 or 32 hours of actual snow clearing contact use seems to be a pretty good quantity of clearing on a tractor it would seem.
