Let's Get Prepared! Check out Edge Tamers! Inexpensive snow removal solution for Compact Tractors

[@eosjoe565]

Edge Tamers are one of the greatest additions for your bucket. I have also used them when working with gravel. When you have a pile of gravel delivered in your driveway getting the last bits gathered up without digging into the existing gravel can be a challenge. With the Edge Tamers you can lower the bucket and scoop up the last inch of stones without disturbing the driveway. Also - did you get a set of Edge Extenders? When I bought my Edge Tamers the Edge Extenders were only $10 and they have paid for themselves 100X over. They fasten to the Edge Extender and make them into a set of mini-forks. Sure, I also have a real set of forks but many times when I am clearing storm damage I will have big tree limbs along with piles of smaller debris. I throw on the Edge Extenders and I can lay the big limbs across the extenders while filling the bucket with the loose debris. It makes it very easy to haul everything back to the brush pile. I have carried 30 ft tree sections on the Edge Extenders. The Edge Tamers + Edge Extenders are an extremely useful combo.

I was watching this from Google in the browser. I saw a picture of these on Walmart and wanted to know what the heck they were. I was so entertained by you and your finance committee "Christy" that I had to come over to KZbin to like and comment. Great job you charmers...❤❤❤

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Welcome to our channel! Thanks for watching! We have many more episodes for your enjoyment!

[@GuyinWY]

Edge Tamers rock. I used mine to clear a few miles of road for a few seasons.

[@InquisiitorWH44K]

Best KZbin channel for small tractor owners. I'm a new 1025r owner here in Floyd County, Virginia. We're a bit higher in elevation and get a couple of good snows a year and have been looking forward to using the bucket this winter. I've got both paved and gravel driveways on my property and was a bit worried about the bucket digging into them. Just ordered a pair of Edge Tamers. Look to be a cost effective solution. Retired the snow shovel for a snow-blower. Now may be retiring the snow blower. Thanks for the discount, Tim!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Kevin, and thanks for watching!

[@johnpyle8027]

A year ago I bought a 1984 John Deere 430 Diesel Garden tractor and restored the entire thing. It is a beast! I cut 35 trees out of a fence line and almost none of the trees fell because it was so thick in the canopy and they dropped on the stump. I hooked a chain to the bottom and pulled them each off the stump and drug the entire tree up to where I store firewood. Some trees were 10+ inches and the 1182 lb tractor didn't grunt and only needed to use the diff lock a few times! I plan to build a FEL for it but for now I built a snow plow. I built it because everything I found that would fit was very expensive and needed to be rebuilt or a thousand miles away. Along with the expense I needed a $300 frame extension because the 430 has a longer front end. I copied the frame and built a piece out of 1/4" plate to extend the frame and bolted it to the frame then bought a plow blade with feet off the internet. After duplicating the hitch point It works like a charm up down left right except when I put it in float mode it digs in wont move. The harder I push the springs finally let go and the blade slams down flat on the concrete. After watching this, unless anyone knows of another way I am going to use quarter inch plate UNDER the plow edge and weld tabs matching the blade angle to the plate, take out two bolts on the blade edge and bolt them on under the plow like skis! We'll see how that works. If anyone knows of something out there please let me know.

[@iShootThis]

Just ordered my 3" set for the 1025R (with extenders , just in case I don't have my forks handy). R2 did a nice job designing some simple add-ons that address a practical need. I like supporting these types of small innovative companies, like R2 and Ken's Bolt on Hooks. Thanks Tim and crew for continuing to show us neat things to make our tractors more useful around the homestead. Not to mention a very handy TTWT discount code.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+iShootThis love working with the 'little guys'. Some tremendous products out there!

[@kdeckster]

I've personally used the Edge Tamers for 3 seasons now, they are fantastic probably and an unbelievable value for how nicely they are made.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+kdeckster thanks for the comment Kenny. Now, you need to start using them to pick up your leaves!

[@kdeckster]

We'll have PLENTY of them soon to try it out on LOL

[@eosjoe565]

I just want to add that the customer service from R2 Manufacturing has been great! I somehow lost one of the little plastic plugs that goes into the end of the Edge Extender. I contacted R2 Manufacturing to inquire how to purchase a replacement. They sent me several plastic caps NO CHARGE! You can't beat that!!

[@Archer11ca]

I’ve used my Edge Tamers a few times and they worked great. Use the detent position on your loader and they glide the bucket over the driveway. I also use them to move my 100lb propane tanks when they are full.

[@tomcarter9816]

I also just ordered these, I need to clear snow in my driveway, but also a path for my dog in the yard. I think these will be an excellent option for me to use. Thanks TTWT for the video & for the discount, love your videos, watch every one of them😊

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Tom Carter thanks, Tom!

[@jkurtz359]

I've had these on for one season of snow removal. They work great.

[@chuckemmerich6535]

Just finished the winter and there are some ( by some I mean a lot) indications in my lawn that I should buy these. Thanks for the video I was about to s-end way more money than I needed to.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

They work! Don’t forget code TTWT for a 5% discount.

[@timarheit7272]

Skip the cheap alternative on Amazon (about half the price). It's welds are junk, particularly on the nut that holds the bolt and some have had it fail the first time they used it. This product is much better constructed, wish I had them years ago. Plus now it's 2022 (over 5 years after you made this video) and the price has barely increased and your coupon code is still good! Thanks!

[@sgt_jr3232]

New leaf remover, lol. Great video tim, you did the company right on this advertisement.

[@rdharris802]

I finally got to use my Edge Tamers on my 1025r this week after an 8in snow fall. They worked better than promised! Moving snow with my bucket is a totally different experiance now. Also I wanted to let you know R2 Manufacturing was very good to deal with. Due to a large order volume (probably all your fault LOL) my order was delayed and R2M kept me informed of the progress all along the way. Thanks for posting your videos. Makes my tractor experiance much better. :)

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Great review Randy! Thanks. Yes, I’m afraid I contributed to the delay!

[@johncolasanto605]

Awesome product... my cousin owns a construction business and uses it to grade fine gravel on driveways..

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks John!

[@patroberson2592]

Great video. Don't think we'll need one here for snow but Bobby said he could use them to pick up blocks of wood. Of course he has the "grapple bucket".

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Pat Roberson yea, yea! Rub it in!

[@ngzcaz]

Kinda same idea but I put about a foot of skis underneath the bucket. Go to a ski lodge and ask for some broken skis.. You may get them for free.. Or try HF wheels.. just put a bit of a wing on both sides of the bucket to keep the wheels turning and snow free..

[@austinshaw2995]

I bought a set of the Edge Tamers today. I believe they will work great on my JD 2025r for removing snow from my long gravel driveway. Thank for the video. It helped with my decision to purchase them.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks!

[@daveknowshow]

I built one that goes all the way across the front of the bucket and works perfect with snow. its amazing how fast the metal wears when plowing pavement and or concrete driveways. mine dont work so well on gravel or grass but I mainly built it to prevent wear from hard road surfaces not so much for gravel or grass control.

[@flashtech6492]

just ordered some looks like a great add on to my J.D. 2320 cant wait to get them on ..I'll keep you posted...

[@johnc.pepper5358]

Speaking of getting ready for Snow I got my blade on my JD 318 for counter weight. Pulling my 4' x 10' trailer witch I use to haul my Cub Cadet 1035 and push mower and weedeater around my small town to mow yard's where my 318 is too big for most of them.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

as a welder I made a set of them for my tractors as well as many other contractors of 20 years ago, but I use a different way of it fastening to the bucket then the bolt like that as the first thing that will happen to that bolt is get bent an brake off by a big rock if solid ice, it will happen. I made them all out of off cuts from other jobs, cost nothing but my half hours time

[@joshblack1406]

Do you have a picture or could you explain how you attach them? I'm no professional welder by any means but I plan to fab up a couple of these for my bucket. I been trying to think of other ways to attach them as well because broken off bolts are no fun

[@SkyBoss52]

I just placed my order, and unlike Green Farm Parts, they actually want my business and will ship to Alaska via USPS. Thanks for the post. 🇺🇸

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+SkyBoss52 excellent. Yea, on the other...I'm sorry

[@jgavesii]

Ordered my Turf Tamers today. And got the extenders . Used your TTWT. $6 is $6. In the fall we get a lot of oak leafs. I'm looking forward to using the Turf Tamers for pushing the mountains of leafs that in the past i've tried to mow,crush shred... Keep the videos coming.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+James Gaves II thanks for using the code. Your $6 also puts a bit of cash in my pocket, so I appreciate it. Be prepared to wait a bit for the arrival. We caused a supply shortage! They are working overtime to make more! Now remember, we weren't trying to sell these as lead rakes!!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+James Gaves II ...leaf rakes...

[@jgavesii]

5 acres of mature Oaks develop a LOT of leafs. How about looking into a way to make a SUPER BLOWER . Similar to Billy Goat. 'but at a much lower cost. My back pack blower does a great job of piling them up. But maybe I need something bigger.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+James Gaves II sounds fun. Could make a PTO blower I guess. Will be interesting to hear if the edge tamers make the job easier. I'm pretty sure they will help with picking up piles. Maybe you won't have to blow such bit piles with this approach. Often a tool isn't perfect by itself, but when used with other tools, it can really help!

[@jgavesii]

I used my Johnny 1025r last year for the first time to push the leaves. It worked great. My mower (Skagg 61'' with clamshell grass/leaf catcher) fills up quick. it's fine for small jobs . But a pile of leaves needs to go out to the pasture. Too many trips and Too far to travel.

[@znovosad555]

This might be the solution for us. I'll send this to my dad. Believe it or not we have problems with snow blades digging up gravel too.

[@FelipeColby]

Edge tamers....that is crazy impressive, like mind bending.

[@CaptBob44]

I love your videos and just placed my order with R2 for 2 Edge Tamers. I also have a JD 1025R (but no backhoe :( ) and after seeing how the bucket picked up leaves I had to have these. We have a large yard with about 8 large cottonwoods and they make a real mess in the fall. I thought about getting a leaf vac but they are a bit too pricy for me and to use for maybe 2 days in the fall then store for 363 days I just couldn't justify it. My lawn sweeper works okay but this looks like more fun, I'll let you know how it works in a couple of months. I also like the ability to scoop up gravel/dirt without digging up grass. I have about 6 yards of gravel to move that is in a pile on the lawn. Up in Green Bay we get a lot of snow and for snow removal I have a 54" snow blower for my 1025R that works great. Can't wait to try these Edge Tamers out.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hey, I wasn't trying to make any promises as a 'leave picker-upper...'. Just surprised that it did so. So, let us know if it actually works in that capacity ...when leaves have fallen in mass!

[@CaptBob44]

It sure sounded like a promise :) Just kidding - I was impressed with how well these bucket skid plates save the lawn, and great tip to use the float mode.

[@patrickcompton381]

Best way to rake leaves in the yard and don't need the grass rakes afterwards. I leave it in a pile and let the grandkids play in it for a while and then dump it in the garden for mulch in the winter. Best of both worlds.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Maybe. will be interesting to see. We had no idea it would pick up leaves when we started the video.

[@clgberg]

Nice demo! I saw these in an earlier web search and got the idea they would do the job. I sold my blade with my JD 322 a few months ago so I plan to float the large capacity bucket (bought for mulch) from Redline Systems with a piece of UHMW on the bottom edge to clear my paved driveway. Might need to invest in these as plan B.

[@PaulChristenson]

It's red so you can find it in the snow if it happens to pop off while you are shaking the snow out of the bucket...:)

[@kagnewmp12]

I absolutely love my edge tamers and I actually ordered a third one recently just to have a spare in the rare possibility I broke one or lost it in the snow. These things are built like an Abrams tank so I drought they would ever break but if the bolt snapped off you would lose it in the snow till spring. I also bought the extenders which can pick up small pallets and such but have to move the edge tamers further in to do it.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You can also put the 3rd one in the middle of the bucket...to provide even more flotation!

[@kagnewmp12]

@@TractorTimewithTim I could but I have a 2020 BX 1880 with a small bucket. I seem to have more problems starting my BX when it's well below 0 so I put my propane heater on a metal milk carton and point it towards the engine for 15 minutes and it fires up fine with only about 15 seconds on the glow plug plus it stays in my garage all the time.

@@kagnewmp12 Sounds like you should check into a block heater. That would make it easy to start.

[@kagnewmp12]

So you can buy a used set of used skis and lop off about 12" of the top of the ski. Then simply 4 carriage bolts will do the same thing. I did that to the ends of my JD snow blower

I would prefer to try it without chains this year, but not sure how much of a mistake it may be.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Not sure what type of steel, but I don't think they will wear too fast. Mine show some scratches, but this is from the summertime use on asphalt. Having a little snow to 'grease' the bottom of them should help. Look through the rest of the comments on this video, as well as some of the newer edge tamer videos.

[@Malakie]

I have a question.. My bucket is not being installed until this coming spring. And I elected not not get a snowblade until then because I got a package deal together saving quite a bit of money.. Thus for this winter, I have to use the rear blade for plowing.. I bought a used one for $100 (they have another 6 blades in great shape too for $200-$250) on the lot. Anyhow, the one problem with a rear blade is they obviously are harder to control for plowing snow since they are not really made for that.. Do you know of any or have any ideas on adding skid shoes to a rear blade? I have been searching all over but all that I find are made for blades that pretty much already have the slots or are designed to add them.. This blade is basically just one solid blade but it is fully adjustable not just in angle or front and back, but fully side to side.. I have it set to stick out the right rear versus staying centered.. BUT if I could find some type of blade skid shoes for the thing, it would make this a whole lot easier to snow plow with and not dig up my drive...

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hmm. I know of only one idea. You can cut a slit in a piece of pvc pipe...for the full width of your blade. Slide that pipe over your cutting edge. Then, your blade will slide along on the surface without cutting in. Make sense? I'm not sure how well it will work, but i hear folks talking about it frequently.

[@Malakie]

aha! That's a great idea... I wish I had the tools to work metal because I would make some for these kind of blades and sell them! LOL It is shocking that no one does to be honest. Once I have my front blade, I will be able to plow twice the width since this rear one allows me to adjust it side to side like that. Thanks for the tip though.. Gonna run and get some now as it is gonna snow here tomorrow.. LOL

[@KirtH27]

I may have to take you up on the TTWT this fall! Have you done a video on the straight cutting edge on the bucket? My front edge is wearing down on my 45 loader

No. I think I showed the installation pretty well in the video. It just squeezes itself against the base of the bucket. Seems to stay nicely attached

[@chriscorie2001]

Would it be beneficial to add a hole?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No. No need.

What set up do I need for a 5055 with 72 inch bucket? Also was wondering about back dragging with them on the bucket?

[@chrislong1259]

Do they make something like this for a 3 point grader blade?

[@svtirefire]

I wonder how these would work for picking up horse manure out of my pastures

[@TractorTimewithTim]

They should work. Let’s us know if you try.

[@YooooouKnowwwww]

worlds most expensive leaf broom @ 8:14. love the vids btw

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+You kNow thanks!

[@TheCritterWindow]

I would like to see this work in loose stone. Not sure how well it would work but like the idea.

[@eosjoe565]

It works perfectly on loose stone. I have a gravel driveway and had 25 tons of new gravel delivered. It's easy to scoop as long as the pile is big but once it gets down it is hard to scoop up the new stone without digging up the existing driveway. By attaching the Edge Tamers I was able to scoop up the remaining gravel without digging in.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

There are a few comments here from folks who have used them for awhile.Look fro EOSJOE, and Guy In WY comments.

[@GuyinWY]

TheCritterWindow I cleared two miles of gravel and dirt road with mine, and they worked very well.

[@TheCritterWindow]

Thanks I may try them

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Guy in WY thanks Blake!

[@ethanutter7971]

They make power brooms that go on a weedwacker that will kick rocks into the driveway

[@acerhillfarm4245]

Forgive me if I missed it, but is there something between the bottom of the bolt and the bucket? So the bolts won't dig into the metal/paint of the bucket.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Lucky13 Farm there is an optional washer. The bolt will dig in a bit, but not much.

[@johntoothman4888]

Great info!! Thanks!!

[@frankygoestocanada]

I just bought my 2 three inches edge tamers for my new 1025R today. Even from Canada, I used your famous coupon code TTWT and... it worked! I will receive them soon I believe! Thank for all your work (I mean... the whole family...)! Very GOOD service at R2 manufacturing! I usually speek french and Rob was very patient talking to me with my "french" accent to make my order possible and I thank him very much for that! Can't stand to try them out! :-)

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Rob is ALWAYS very patient! Thanks for your order!

[@scott5609]

Is there a video out there with the edge tamners working on a gravel driveway with snow removal

[@TractorTimewithTim]

There will be if it ever snows here. Well, we don't have gravel driveway, but I'll run it across my back yard. Meanwhile, the many positive comments here should be helpful to you.

[@bradschneider70]

I know your going to get sick of me commenting on your channel. With that being said I have been watching your show for a long time. I have heard you talk about the " finance committee ". I loved your tractor so I wanted one. There was no way I would be able to spend the 19k on one. So I started looking for a used tractor. I was able to find a 1026R with less then 100 hrs on it. It has a loader forks rock box I picked up for 11k then found a 60D auto connect deck on tractor house for less then 2k. It looks new. They go 3500 new. So for less then 13k I have a sweet tractor. I picked up a king kutter grader blade for plowing snow from fleet farm. You should do a show on talking about finding a good used tractors they are out there.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep.

[@jmendel9653]

I ordered a pair at the begining of Nov and they are back ordered. I'm still waiting.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hang in there! You will get them...and you will love them!

[@krossbowKerry]

My finance committee will be happy!

[@jakeschisler7525]

Now that's a great product, Tim

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Jake!

[@bradgrandgeorge6095]

Can you backdrag with these on at all?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Not very well. You have to use the ‘back side’ of the bucket to do so.

[@lh98]

I tried these on grass with down pressure and it ripped up the grass. Even no down pressure on uneven grass it (the tamer) ripped it up. Tried on asphalt during snow and it left a thick pad of slippery snow/ice. Had to scape it down with the bucket afterwards. I realize they would work better on gravel driveways which I haven't tried yet but so far they have been a waste of $ to me. Tried across the yard full of leaves but again the tamer tore the lawn in places. Maybe helpful in some situations but so far collecting dust now.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ok. Did you try the grassy area WITHOUT the Edge Tamers? At least for me, I can do much better on grass with the tamers than without. I can run in float on level grass without any getting ripped up. Of course if there is a hump between the tamers, it will hit. Anyway, seems to be much easier WITH the tamers than without. Just my experience.

[@_P0tat07_]

Hah! That's awesome! How well would it work on pavement, concrete or brick surfaces?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+P0tat07 it would leave a small amount of snow on the driveway. We'll try it this winter
