Just another idea. Visit Sporty's.com, an aviation supply site. Pilots often use a knee board strapped to their leg to hold approach/departure and communication frequencies and other information they use to keep handy as they aviate. You might get some food for thought for your application.

Bill, my answer to your concern would be a definite 'maybe'. When I started this project it was to be used for clearing snow from 90% crushed stone driveways and maybe 10% paved surfaces. After taking care of my driveway/parking areas, I usually clear the snow from the driveways of a number of...

Probably from Kubota Corp. but you will no doubt pay dearly for the plug. Have you thought of cutting the ends off and using Advanced Auto, Auto Zone, Reilly's, Rural King, or Tractor Supply plugs? Direct splice and crimp or solder with shrink tubing would make for a dependable connection.

I meant to say 'Northwest'

It's amazing the speed a wildfire can overtake any available fire fighting resource. This is especially true if there are windy and dry conditions along with plenty of fuel. If the fire is in a remote and rugged location, other than using aerial tankers, you are pretty much SOL. Zoom, sounds...

I see in the news where the Cali governor is beginning to push legislative bills aimed at relaxing tree cutting, brush clearing and other modern forestry/ conservation activities by land owners and others. Do you think this will have any effect on any future wildfires? Of note: I had an uncle...

Welcome to the RTV Forum. I'm not familiar with that brand snowblade. But, to paraphrase a well known saying, " The sweet taste of a bargain price is too often replaced by the sourness of a failed deal." Perhaps a visit to a Kubota dealership or even an agriculture store would give you more...

I am happy to report the modification to my Boss snow blade can be called a success. I tried it out on my bare gravel driveway and it smoothed it out like a road grader. The blade didn't dig in or 'chatter' at all. The crushed stone is mostly pea gravel size and is not frozen at all. I am sure...

Welcome to the Forum. Looks like you are ready for old man winter. Keep in touch and let us know how your boat does in the white stuff.

PawPaw; Our 1100 out performs our car and trucks heating/AC, and they are really good. Riding an/or plowing snow wearing a t-shirt and shorts is no exageration. In the summer the A/C is a welcome relief for us old folks.

Paint with black glossy paint and reinstall. Now... wait for snow and see if this works.

Tack weld pipe to cutting edge and paint with primer

Pound the slotted pipe onto the cutting edge of the replaceable cutting edge of the blade.

Cutting the slot in the pipe using a cut off wheel in an angle grinder.

The past few years here in sw pa has seen milder than usual winters and the ground has not frozen solid. So, whenever I clear the snow from our gravel driveway, I end up plowing gravel also. Shoes on the blade just dig in as well. I had heard on the Forum where a pipe on the bottom of the blade...

Thanks for the replys. Think I'll try the pipe tack welded to the cutting edge. (One of these days.)

Civility!!!!! ( Hint: Can be used in all 57 states, D.C., and Canada. LOL). ( Rethinking D.C.)

Almost any radio will work. I got my am/fm radio from crutchfields.

It has my interest as the snow blade does chisel into the gravel. In the spring I have to rake it back on the driveway. The shoes on the ends of the blade don't seem to help at all.

Wondering...has anyone actually tried the pipe on the bottom edge of a snow blade. To keep from digging into gravel driveways. Pipe size? How attached?
