Kubota B2601 with Edge Tamers

[@danielmarkleblanc1800]

I have a set of what you call the edge Tamers and yes I've had them for two winters and they work very well. The set I have are made by VEVOR which I purchased on Amazon here in Canada for a fraction of the price. These things are amazing for the price and extremely well made. Basically, they work like a charm in various conditions. I've never had issues with them coming loose and they have survived our Canadian winters. I also use them in the summer for various applications. I find that the best place to set them up is on the inside edge of both sides of the bucket. Buy American! I get that; however, here in Canada that's sometimes really expensive with the shipping, exchange rate and custom charges. Love your show and keep up the great videos.

Thanks very much! I appreciate your kind comments. -Ed

I'm going to try these on my asphalt driveway with those covers. For the trashcan, I just use my quickhitch hook and a 1/2" pipe accross the bottom. Works great for one bin.

Hi Ed from North Idaho! As someone else pointed out, I'm glad you introduced something that I didn't know existed, Edge Tamers!! I'm definitely going to order some for my B2601. We also clear the snow with the FEL and seem to pick up way more gravel than necessary. We just cleared a 12" dump of snow last week and the Edge Tamers would have been great to have. Thanks again for your channel and stay safe out there!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Ken! Tell R2 I sent you!

[@KenAmmon]

I did! Thanks again, looking forward to trying them.

Hi Ed. R2 is in my neck of the woods and I went to their facility to pick up my edge tamers. Work great. Only issue I have is the hitch tamer eventually rolled over the stop on the edge tamer when I was pushing a trailer backwards even though it was very tight. Not a huge issue but notable issue to mention. Rob n Ryan are awesome to deal with and the factory had various prototypes of their designs. Very cool.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

That’s great that you could pick them up directly!

[@chadsparks3010]

I have had edge tamers for several years and love them. I just came in from cleaning snow around my wood shed, they worked great as they always do. I also have the extenders, they are handy for moving lumber around. I didn’t know about the trailer hitch. It looks like something I need.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Awesome. Thanks for watching!

Did you put your bucket in the floating position?

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hi. Yes I should have mentioned that. Thank you.

[@oefveteran09]

When I purchased mine, they came with washers to place under the bolts to I suppose distribute the forces. Do they not come with the washers any longet?

[@MyClutteredGarage]

You know what? I didn’t even open the box of hardware because I assumed it was for the bolt on version. 😬

[@oefveteran09]

@@MyClutteredGarage you didn't read the manual... 🤣

[@vicrodriguez54]

Mine did not come with washers so what I did was, I used a slightly larger drill bit and shaved off (countersunk) the metal on the bucket to where the bolt sits nicely on it. I had noticed that the tamer itself was moving around a bit even after tightening hard.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

What’s a manual? 😄

[@whenworkisplay]

Edge tamers are a must for gravel driveways. We have 3 on our bucket. Looking forward to seeing them on the box blade. Enjoy your weekend, Ben

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Ben. They really work great!

Thanks for doing this video. This should solve a problem I've been dealing with for years, tearing up my driveway when clearing snow. I had no idea these existed.

[@toddcrowdis2650]

Great looking product just emailed them to see if they can ship to Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 thxs for the ideo

[@georgecarter1725]

Nice product, thanks for sharing Ed.

[@Kevinthomaswatson]

I have a set of these for removing snow off the grass in the Spring and they work well.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Incredibly effective, inexpensive! They really do make it easy to keep from digging up your driveway during snow removal.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks for the recommendation, Tim!

[@watershedoverlook]

Good stuff Ed. I wonder, if you are not using the accessories, would two be sufficient for your (and therefore MY 😉) tractor?

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Chris. I do think two would be sufficient. The one in the middle is nice to protect the crown of your driveway or road though.

[@tomki6asp]

I just used my B2601 with EdgeTamers to back drag. Worked will. No need to touch up.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Great! Thanks.

[@keithrayeski6417]

What a great idea! That’s entrepreneurship at its best! They wouldn’t have any applications here, but clearly they’re applications!! Yer gonna like’em for sure!!👍🏻 Great review!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Keith!

[@RossOnTheLand]

Nice easy attachment! Well done! and being Canadian, I can certify that the amount of snow you received is a good amount! Well done.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Ross! And thanks for not laughing at our little snow fall 🤣

[@m9ovich785]

Hi Ed.. I have an original Orange pair of edge tamers. I had them mounted inboard from the edge of the Bucket. I have since never put them back on in favor of a pipe welded to an old Cutting edge that i'd put on for Winter use. I want to make a bracket on the back side of the Bucket for some Tractor weights for more Float down pressure. Mike M.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Good idea, Mike!

[@bobpurs]

Great product. Have meet Rob and Ryan several times and they are great guys and have a awesome business and products. Have fun in the snow Ed ❄️☃️❄️👍

Thanks Bob. They are good guys indeed!

[@CrazyManAI]

I'm on my third winter with the R2 edge tamers. I'm not sure if it's the correct technique, but I put the loader in float mode when pushing. It works flawlessly. I can't imagine not having them and trying to push snow with just the bucket.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Yes I should have mentioned that I used float mode. Thanks!

[@otisbailey5455]

I use rear blade with a high durometer bolt on edge. Work great.

[@vicrodriguez54]

Can you send a picture of this? Interesting idea. Thx

[@TimeAfterTym]

Now is there gravel under the snow where you use the edge tamers? so maybe you can explain why you can’t just use the float function although I know the bucket is an ideal for snow

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hi Ed. Yes there’s loose stone underneath. I used float with the edge tamers. Without the edge tamers, the bucket may dig into the stone or just ride up over the snow. Certainly doable, but the edge tamers make it nicer and easier.

[@TimeAfterTym]

Well, I guess I could’ve asked that question better, thank you for answering the question. I meant to ask lol. Worth considering.

[@maintenancewithmike]

Edge tamers for Ed…. 😮. Nice quick add to plow snow. So much easier than hooking up a rear blade or snow blower. Very cool that they thought of add on items as well. Thanks for the video! Cheers, Mike.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Mike. They are really well made!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Pretty sweet Ed

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Gary!

[@oefveteran09]

Edge Tamers are an exceptional product; I purchased them a few years back for my subcompact Deere and liked them so much that they've carried over to my Kioti. A great product for sure.

[@badgerlandturf]

A couple of comments: 1st I put mine on my bucket in fall and help collect leaf piles I have created and then dump into my compost. Secondly, you may want to put down a small square of 1/4” steel under the bolt to help disperse some of the pressure that bolt will do on your bucket (if you tighten them too much). That looked like a pretty light snow, I keep my box blade on the back for a little more ballast for more traction. This is the 1st winter we have had a good measurable snow (11”) that I have been able to use my edge tamers for what they were designed for! I wonder if a long term goal is for a bigger machine shed for your farm…my tractor prefers indoors too😂!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks for your comments. All true! I actually meant to put the box blade on and completely forgot! 🤣

[@joshuaroberts7511]

Using them for leaves is a great idea I’ll have to try this fall

[@GardenTractorBoy]

The edge tamers look good and I like the option for moving a trailer. It is great that you have small good quality companies in the US. Playing in the snow looked fun, I hope it comes our way this winter. I was surprised that you do not get rubbish collection

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks Joseph. I hope you get some snow!

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Hi Ed, great timing on the edge tamer video. Just got a similar set at Christmas. Only problem is who knows if we’ll ever get any snow here in NC. Well, guess if we do I’ll be prepared. Enjoyed the video.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I hope you get some snow (if you want snow) 👍😄

[@ericbotterbrodt96]

Nice man. Did my buddy’s driveway this morning edge tamers definitely made it easier to clear his millings driveway. Glad we finally got some snow here in south Jersey. About 5-6 in my area. Happy Saturday man.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Very nice. Thanks!

[@jays1517]

Thank you, Ed! This is the second time you've introduced me to a product I needed, but didn't know existed. The first was the GooLoo Jump Pack, which saved a delivery driver whose van wouldn't start as she sat in line at the gas station where I was filling up the first week I had it, and saved me once (with four starts in one day) since. I ordered a set of these Edge Tamers just now, as I sit here with ~8" of snow in my gravel driveway I didn't want to plow with my FEL because the last time I did it, I moved as much gravel as snow. R2's guide recommended only two 3" trimmers for my 54" bucket with a bolt-on cutting edge on my B2320, so I'll see how well two work instead of the three you opted for.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks for your kind comments. I hope you get them soon! Sounds like you need them now!

[@frankwrogg2515]

Yea they work very well and so far all I have needed in wisconsin, sucks that there are so many on Amazon that are ripping them off.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

For sure!

[@mschroed99]

I ordered mine last year and lucky me no measurable snow to move since then😂

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Haha! Better to have and not need!

[@i.r.wayright1457]

I bought a set of these that may have been a different brand. The first thing I noticed was you could not tighten the black plastic knobs on top of the bolt enough to hold them fast to the bucket. So I got larger diameter bolts, drilled out the nut on the tamer and rethreaded it to fit. Then I added a lock nut below the nut. I found them to be useless on my paved driveway. So now I just use the bucket alone. I don't like the 3/8" or so snow that was left after plowing the driveway. What is the point of snow removal if you can't get it down to bare pavement, so the rest can melt off quickly?
