Lol...yup... works like a treat eh? How come you guys don't have your exhaust stack mounted on the drivers side out of harms way?

 

[770G]

Well to be honest I don't know. Lol Even our really old rigs have the pipe on pass side.

Here is a picture of the rubber blades on the wing that I was talking about

 

[770G]

Are those carbide blades or is there carbide blocks on the back?

 

[Grader4me]

Just 2 regular steel blades with the rubber in between.

 

[770G]

Do you find they last? We run carbide wing blades here. Approx 3" X 1 1/4" carbide blocks evenly spaced along the whole length of the wing, and the come from Valley Blades with front corner cut on a 45... Not niped as much as you guys cut though

 

[Grader4me]

They last really well...normal winter they don't have to change blades. We have the carbide insert blades here but try to discourage our operators from putting them on the wings. Good for paved shoulders but not so good for the unpaved ones. They bite in really hard....

 

[770G]

Ya they can grab that's for sure. When things get soft I tend to carry the rear of my wing a little. We don't have any asphalt shoulders here in my area.......... Well maybe in total .5km lol

 

[Grader4me]

Oh yeah....if all the operators would carry the wing when everything was soft (like they are suppose to), then there would be no need to try and come up with devices etc. to prevent the wing from catching...but...well... you know how it goes...lol

 

[770G]

Lmao!!!!!! I sure do 10-4

This is my first post, I run either a Frink 10' or Fisher MC 10' depending on how deep it's getting. If it gets real deep then I put the Schmidt blower on.

Now thats a good rig..welcome to HEF

 

[770G]

Unimog's kick ass!!!! I'd love to have one of those babies for my own.

Here's some pics of the polar flex blades I was telling you about "Grader4me". The small rubber mounted blades conform to the road......so I'm told lol we shall see next winter.

 

[Grader4me]

Holy smokes! Geeze you guys in Ontario spare no expense..lol. Us poor NB'ers couldn't afford fancy dancy blades like that...lol

On edit...Man they should work really good!

Has anyone tried the Kuper carbide or rubber ceramic edges? I'm trying to get a set of carbide Tuca to demo.

[770G]

Grader4me..... Lol it's a trial set for my plow only for now, we always run regular carbides from Vally Blades.

Rlmogs..... I've never seen those before but they look mint, gotta post a result on if you like them or not...... They look pricey

 

[RImogs]

The quote I got was the carbide TUCA edges are $199./foot and the GK5 Rubber / Carbide are $140. foot.
