Grader Blade Skid Shoes / Skis?

[sgraber]

Hi, I have a BX1870 with a 5' wide grader blade on the 3-point hitch and I was wondering what kind of skid shoes / skid skis people have on their blades? I'd like to find shoes that bolt on to the blade, if possible. Any ideas? Thanks!

Do you want shoes because you don't want to dig into soft ground when moving snow? Just take a piece of 2" PVC pipe and cut it lengthwise, slip it over the cutting edge and you will be all set for a while...don't use it on pavement or much below 32degrees. I do this with my FEL.

If you are using the blade on gravel or other non paved area, consider what I do when clearing snow on a lawn in the yard in Wisconsin snows. It works amazingly well. Used on a BX.

Just reverse the blade. I do that clearing, without turning the blade by just backing up. May give a crook in the neck if done a lot.

Another nice thing about using the blade reversed, if you build up a layer of packed snow/ ice you can still use the cutting edge without adjusting shoes or removing a pipe.
