Message: <blockquote data-quote="skidsteer.ca" data-source="post: 15356" data-attributes="member: 307">I prefer a plow for the trip edge in case you hit something.I only plow on dirt and find it easy to nick up the lawn or drive until it freezes. I generally leave the skid shoes on until I build a layer of hard pack snow up then usually anything short of a tooth bucket won't scrape through the frozen snow.A skid does not have much weight on the front  by design so I generally don't use the float on the boom, but you could.Also my current plow only had a 3/8 thick cutting edge and I did find it easier to penetrate my hard pack snow layer lastwinter then the year b4 when my blade had a 1/2" edge. So I think I'll add  a 2nd 3/8 edge to the first one and see how that goes.I sold a plastic cutting edge to one customer last winter with a blower and he was quite happy with the way it was non marking and said it seemed to be holding up well.Ken</blockquote>
