A used cutting edge off a dozer or loader works

Loader segments would work best and I would weld them in as well. I would think 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" thick.

I think I would rather bolt them on to the sidebars. That way when whatever you have has worn out you can remove it easily and install replacements.
