Great idea Roland. I never thought of that I'm gonna give it a go on my plow. I hate cutting into the grass. I have gravel drive way also. Thanks again for the tip

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

Good luck!

To your viewers...this is an excellent way to not cut up your lawn when plowing. Also keeps the gravel where it belongs. For safety reasons, if you own a table saw, set your fence to be middle of pipe. Set your blade depth to just pass thru the thickness of the ABS Pipe. When you are done cutting down thru length of pipe, cut a V in one end, this will really help in getting the pipe started onto your plow blade. I have done this and it works amazingly.

Three years ago (2021) I bought a push snow shovel with wheels. The 30" blade is self floating. The blade is pre-angeled, so you have to flip it over to devert snow to the other side. The edge was very sharp and precisely made. The problem was the sharp edge got caught easily on my rough old blacktop driveway and even cracks/seams on the sudewalk. I also did not want to wear down the edge. Before seeing this video, I did the sane thing. I took small diameter plumbing PVC, took tin shears to cut one side of if the PVC ... I did not use a saw since thus would remove material and woukd not fit as tight. It stays in with only by it's own pressure, the edge no longer gets caught in everything (rides easiky over imperfections), and is eaily and cheaply replaced although it is wearing very well. Yes, i know this is about a floating push shovel, but is the same idea.

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

Cool, I'm glad you shared this story with me about your push shovel. Great thinking! I wonder how many of this type of shovel is sold?

[@chrisbetter9806]

I like how people think this is a new idea. I fist saw this in the late 70's - early 80's and it probably wasn't new then

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

If you are talking about me I like how you assume I think it's a new idea. Maybe, just maybe I'm sharing an idea

[@kagnewmp12]

Great idea and could I ask where did you purchase your ABS pipe. I checked hardware stores Lowes Home Depot and a Plumbing supply store and they don't carry it other then some fittings. I have a Kubota sub compact tractor with a loader and a rear blade that I put PVC pipe on but it also cracked. Thanks

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

I had the abs pipe laying around. Why is abs so hard to find?

[@waynehigden]

I use PVC pipe on my bucket edge and it works great. 2” is what I use. Duct tape helps keep the pipe from cracking. Apply some heat to relieve the stress works too. Saves my grass. If the ground is not frozen good luck with not having damage.

What’s the longevity of that pipe? Excellent idea

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

thanks, no idea. been using it off and on for a few years. I'm still using the same pipe.

[@PainterD54]

I was tempted to try that on my truck plow, but I mounted a 1" rubber blade about 1" lower in front of the steel cutting edge. It acts like a squeegy on my garage apron and plowing over grass doesn't digit up at all. Just slide over it nice and clean. Rubber is the answer!

[@anthonyg6221]

Where did you get the rubber material?

[@PainterD54]

@@anthonyg6221 I used a kind of indistructable rubber material used to line rock wash plant chutes to keep them from wearing out. I've had it on my plow for the past 6 years now with little signs of wear.

[@ArcticExploring]

That's a good tip!

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

Glad you liked it

[@scottjohnston8016]

Try running it thru a table saw...

[@cecilveley5722]

Kind are them tires? I like dem.

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

They are the stock tires that come with the atv. CST tires

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

That’s a good idea. Another good idea might be to put chains on your tires. I’m sure that would help considerably.

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

Thanks! Using chains is a great idea for gravel driveways but the driveway close to my house is paved. The chains would mark and destroy my paved driveway and I don't want to have to remove and replace all the time. There hasn't been a time where I couldn't plow the driveway and wished I had chains.

Use ABS pipe, it lasts a lot longer.
