Edge Tamers....

[Lil Foot]

Found one of these at a bin store for a dollar.
Found another on eboy for $25 shipped to the house.
So I now have a set of edge tamers for $26, plus whatever it costs me for the 14mm bolts/nuts to clamp 'em on.

They are 11.25" x 4.5", 3/8" thick.
I think they are Vevor brand.

I have a pair on my BX 25, they are a remarkable invention!

They keep the front loader bucket cutting edge from eating up my blacktop driveway removing snow.
Same for the lawn surrounding the blacktop when pushing snowbanks back.

If you are moving dirt or gravel/crushed stone off the lawn, they protect the turf.

And recently, I hooked short nylon lifting straps around the upturned ends of the Edge Tamers,
and lifted my 60" width mid mount mower deck from my second BX machine and lifted the deck 3 feet off the ground for scraping packed grass off the underside of the deck, and also changed the three deck blades along with changing out the deck gearbox gear lube.

A super invention and time/labor saver!

And you 'stole" your pair!
Use stainless steel bolts when you source the new bolts, and copper anti-seize for the threads.

Line each one up with the FEL arms.

Wanna DOUBLE YOUR MONEY…??

LOL… Great Shopping!

I got a set used one time, just until I got my new Snow Edge from Ratchet Rake.
Anyone, I paid 62.00 on Amazon. So I take an offer plus shipping cost
They are about 25 lbs. so shipping is the big question
They are Vevor Brand

Last year I bought 2 sets from Vevor when they were on sale for $17.99 a pair with free shipping. Only had yellow on sale so that's what I got. Needed 3 on my 66 inch bucket because my driveway is so wonky.
Yours aren't Vevor. Mine only have 1 thumbscrew and different size handles to determine left and right .

Yours aren't Vevor.

Well they changed them then. Probably why mine were on clearance . They change things lately as they switch suppliers

Just throwing this out there...these are all cheap Chinese copies of the patented Edge Tamers invented and sold by R2 Manufacturing based in upstate New York, USA.

R2 Manufacturing - Home Of The Edge Tamer

The Edge Tamer goes on your tractor loader bucket, acting as a skid, for moving snow and mulch. It keeps the stones in the driveway and the grass on the ground.

This is how US companies go out of business.

I'll second the R2 brand. I have 2 sets, one for bucket and other for grader blade. Used first time last winter, and what a difference they made plowing snow in the rock.

Not cheap, but well designed and made.

That's what happens when you're over twice the price for an item that is built heavier then most need. Kind of like generic drugs save many lots of money once the patents run out with the same results. Our leaders have pushed for a global economy for years and most manufacturers have switched to offshore manufacturing to control costs. I call it the affordability revolution.
